Gus Van Sant's MILK

Sean is amazing in this trailer. Wow, a biopic where the lead doesn't look like a cartoon version of the real person!
 
Lol @ the full queer reference

Im really psyched about this movie! I just love the work Gus has been putting out lately and I am curious as hell to see how that influences this more main stream studio type picture.

Did anyone find it interesting and very, very cool that the trailer ends with written by Dustin Lance Black in giant letters? Have you ever seen that before?
 
Wow this looks like it could be far more powerful than I expected. I saw the documentary Life and Times of Harvey Milk years ago, and it was incredible, but I found it hard to imagine a translation to "fiction." From this trailer, it looks like they might have done it. It feels like a big movie, it looks gorgeous, and it feels perfectly authentic. At least in the trailer (famous last words).
 
I don't really like Penn, although this seems pretty good. I just don't think Penn GETS it sometimes. I just don't think actors should have opinions it ruins my view of them when they're in movies. AKA Tom Cruise
 
Wow. I've watched the trailer a few times now and I get chills each time I see it.


Can't wait to see this one.
 
Yes, this movie was totally sweet! I have to admit I was digging Van Sant's direction more in the first half because it seemed like he was doing more artistically than later in the second half but I want to see it again to solidify how I feel.

Overall though I thought it was fantastic
 
I was really impressed with the film. It's real "filmmaking." Van Sant has incredible mastery of the art form. The characters are fascinating, and it captures an interesting time and place. I loved the look and choices Van Sant made with his technique.
 
Great movie. I am enough of a heterosexual man to admit that seeing gayness gives me the heebie jeebies, and there is a lot of gayness on display here (this ain't Philadelphia), but I was able to get past it and enjoy the film. Ironic that Sean Penn's most charismatic and appealing performance is as a gay man. And Josh Brolin continues his streak.

not as gay as the volleyball scene in top gun.

That's great.

Looking forward to this a lot. Personally I think Sean Penn is great.

Gay is a part of the world. Doesnt mean you have to be a part of it, but accepting is a good start.
