Milk. 2008.
Sean Penn plays Harvey Milk who at the age of 40 runs for a political campaign towards the gay community to have rights as everyone else and finds a ally which leads to his assassination.
With the right director on board, give Sean a script and a character and let him work his magic on screen, I have never heard of Harvey Milk before watching this but certainly knew how to get people to be open and out about their sexuality and give them proper rights to be free and express themselves. Josh Brolin plays White who helped Milk campaign his bill of rights and hoped for help and was eventually shot down by his ideas that made him buckle. James Franco is brilliant in this as Harvey's partner and manager who seemed to be pushed aside but certainly had chemistry with Sean to make the film more dramatic than what it should have been. A great film that will be watched again.
