Milk (dir. Gus Van Sant)

I liked Milk, I liked his passion and understood his empathy for the underdog. It's a well balanced film. Wonderfully written by a young and smart Dustin Lance Black, who grew up in mid-America with very religious parents. It seems like the guy has an innate talent to listen and portray a very realistic and compassionate image. Gus Van Sant did a wonderful job with this movie. He's a dream director for a film like this. Highly recommend and hope that it will pick up an Oscar. It's contemporary history at it's best. It's funny how some things get forgotten so quick and yet they are just as relevant today as they were then. They should teach this stuff at school.
