At last, Milk was formally released in London today. Must see!!
Brilliant film by one of my favourite directors Gus Van Sant. Amazing Sean Penn.
I left the cinema inspired by the civil rights movement led by Harvey Milk, America's first openly gay politician in San Francisco. Truly inspirational figure. Very current references to ongoing struggle for equality and human rights. "People told him no openly gay man could win political office. Fortunately, he ignored them" (TIME magazine, 100 most important people of the 20th century)
We need someone like Harvey Milk for Armenia. Someone who will inspire. Someone who will lead civil rights movement.
P.S. I doubt this film will be released in Yerevan cinemas. There should be no problem with DVDs though...
