Movie talk 9

MILK by Gus Van Cant

Reminded me the documentary THE TIMES OF HARVEY MILK.

Ironically, Havey Milk fought hard and succeeded in beating discriminative propostion 6 thirty years ago, while propostion 8 was passed in California this year. 

What a shame.

Solute to Gus Van Cant, a ground-breaking movie.
