Yesterday, it was 30 years ago since Harvey Milk, the Mayor of Castro Street was murdered together with San Francisco mayor George Moscone. Same day the movie MILK opened as a commercially available movie to go and see in your local cinema - if it isn't at a Cinemark movie. Cinemark's CEO donated $9,999 to the Yes on Prop 8 campaign.
I have now seen the movie two times, and I really like it. Tuesday, when I saw it for the second time, Milk's nephew was in the audience. He said that he cried more and more for every time he saw the movie - and it is true.
Tonight there is a memorial march scheduled, from City Hall to Milk's store on Castro Street. It's held to commemorate the light vigil that happened after Milk's assassination. To learn more, go to ManiWOG's site
In reviews in both New York Times and The San Francisco Chronicle, the movie gets excellent reviews. Another review can be found in the Los Angeles Times.
Articles in the two papers describe how people see the movie as an important tool in the fight for LGBT rights today and an interview with Senator Dianne Feinstein about the events that day. The news clip where Feinstein announces the murder is the one of the grim scenes that starts the MILK movie.
