Milk - The Trailer
Directed by Gus Van Sant
Story by Dustin Lance Black
UK release date 16 January 2009.
Genre: Drama/Biography.
Synopsis (IMDB):
Using flashbacks from a statement recorded late in life and archival footage for atmosphere, this film traces Harvey Milk's career from his 40th birthday to his death. He leaves the closet and New York, opens a camera shop that becomes the salon for San Francisco's growing gay community, and organizes gays' purchasing power to build political alliances. He runs for office with lover Scott Smith as his campaign manager. Victory finally comes on the same day Dan White wins in the city's conservative district. The rest of the film sketches Milk's relationship with White and the 1978 fight against a statewide initiative to bar gays and their supporters from public school jobs.
OSCAR Winner 2009:
Best actor: Sean Penn.
Best original screenplay.
