If you’re looking for a great movie to view this weekend and are looking for a hero in your selection, check out the story of Harvey Milk DVD release scheduled for March 2009 with a run time of 129 minutes. Co-stars include James Franco, Emile Hirsch and Josh Brolin. Brolin’s role is especially noteworthy and reveals much about this actor’s future in Hollywood.
Nominated for eight academy awards, Milk tells the story of Harvey Milk, a San Francisco small business owner who opted to run for the city’s Board of Supervisors after having left New York City to live openly as a gay man in the 1970s. After securing his seat on the Board, Milk becomes the first openly gay man in politics anywhere in the country. Sean Penn, who plays the movie’s title, won an Oscar for performance by an actor in a leading role during the 2009 Oscar Awards.
The Milk DVD tells an amazing story of determination and triumph. It’s no wonder Penn was awarded his second Oscar for his performance in this movie. It’s a movie well worth your time.
