Milk (2008)

no, seriously, you have issues. It is not about preference or not wanting to see a movie. It is about attitude toward others.

yeah sorry, i don't want to watch flamers, they act and speak like women, its annoying, its embarrassing and highly unattractive.

That is a preference.
 
I only recall one 'flamer' in the movie. (I bet you'd like what happened to him in the movie.)

Maybe you just consider all gay men besides yourself to be 'flamers.'
 
:corn: I knew it would be good.

And KalEilde, beautiful post.

Because I can't watch the movie?

I can't stand watching flamers, thats not an illness. That's just a preference.

It's too bad that a person's mannerisms are more important to you than their actions. Harvey Milk was a campaigner not only for gay rights, but also for the elderly and for veterans. Because of his activism and that of others like him gay people have many more rights than we had in the early '70's when I came out.
You may not be a flamer, but what have you done in your life to equal his accomplishments?
 
Terrific movie.

The performance were spooky-good. Even where the actors don't quite look like the real people, they've got the mannerisms and tone down cold. I did a double take when I saw Josh Brolin. He was like Dan White resurrected.

Thanks, guys, for already pointing folk to The Times of Harvey Milk. It's a terrific documentary. I've watched it numerous times over the past twenty years or so, and I can never watch it without crying. (But then, I cry in all movies. I cried in Fight Club.) This documentary puts it all in a little broader historical perspective which is helpful.
 
KalEilde, Dude (sorry, I couldn't resist because of your House of Dude thread),

This is some serious shit you wrote. Thank you. :=D:

Dear flamer-hatters,

I speak as a non-flamer. The rights and freedoms that you can exercise today as homosexuals is in large part due to the courageous, more manly actions of drag queens, not the craven actions of passing-for-straight faggots like yourself (and I use the term faggot in the mostFaggots, Larry Kramer author, possible way).

It was the drag queens who started fighting back against the police at the Stonewall in 1969, not the faggots who stood on the side. It was the drag queens who put their silk and taffeta-covered asses on the line, not the jeans and leather-clad faggots who cowered across the street. It was the drag queens who can-canned mockingly down the street in open, contemptuous challenge towards the line of NYPD helmet-wearing, nightstick-wielding, gun-toting coppers, not the faggots who had skeedaddled away.

These weren't just angry Boys Named Sue who resented their fate. These were angry, brave self-named Sues who knew just what to do. Thank Our Lady of Perpetual Indulgence!

Have a Happy New Year. May it see your mind turned around,

KalEilde

The best way for me to respond is from my other minority affiliation, judaism. You are right, the drag queens did not do it for you. You are a wicked son, as defined by another story of liberation.

The following comes from the web site Passover - Pesach : History and Meaning of Freedom in Faith this extract can be found at: http://www.angelfire.com/pa2/passover/thefoursons.html

During the Seder service, we read in the Passover Haggadah that the Torah speaks of four sons, "one wise, one wicked, one simple, and one who does not even know how to ask a question." The Passover Haggadah then proceeds to tell us the questions posed by each of these 'sons', and the reply which we are to give to each of them.
The Wise Son inquires about the special Mitzvos ("Commandments" in Hebrew) of Passover and we are to tell him in detail all the laws and customs of the festival. The Wicked Son asks: "What is this service to you?" By saying "to you", he excludes himself from the Jewish community, and we are told to reply to him sharply. The Simple Son asks: "What is this all about?" In reply, we are to tell him of the Exodus from Egypt. As for the son who does not know how to ask, it is for us to open the conversation with him, as the Torah says, "You shall tell your son on that day, as follows: 'This is on account of what the L-rd did for me when I went forth from Egypt'."

Gonna go see it and while I watch it tonight I will think of all the bigots that have been put aside by people with courage.
 
Okay. Saw MILK. Fucking wow what a loser I am. Yet Harvey started at 40 and got a lot done...there is still time for me I am only 38. I need a change.....

As to the ignorant post above. Milk was filled with the most courageous men I have ever seen. The only flames I saw were ones burning in his memory at the end of the show. I recommend Harvey's advice that if a bullet goes thru his brain let it open every closet door...

Bayern...the door is open
 
After reading the posts i really want to go see the film now!
 
Such a beautiful movie. I cried like a little bitch when I saw the scene with the parade honoring Harvey Milk's death. Just so beautiful, and beautifully done.

I feel so ashamed it took me this long to see this movie.
 
Yeah, it took me a while to see it as well. My brother bought it shortly after it was released, and I didn't watch it until I got home from school, despite borrowing it well before then.

I really enjoyed the film. Hopefully more people my age, and not just the gay ones, see this movie. It sure put my "struggle" of coming out in perspective.
