Milk Film Review

The movie characters and activists who play different roles to depict the right social course. The main character Harvey is a gay member and activist yearning for inclusion of lesbians and gays into the societal norms. He depicts a life of an ordinary humble man determined to stand alone and fight for the victimized people Harvey Milk challenges gay and lesbian people to accept their uniqueness and come out open and face the society. The movie blames a closed minded society that has ragged behind in its perception and acceptance of the Heterosexual community. Closeted gay members are been called upon in the fight against this abstract idea. Harvey fights for homosexual community is no doubt a motivation for universal rights activists (Milk, 78b).

Annie Kronenurg is an untiring feminist activist, she depicts a society that has undermined the role of women in nation building. Women have been sidelined in elective post and have been conditioned to be subservient of dominant male species. The society has rendered them the work of home keepers and raising of children. Women have been prejudiced and are seen as unequal to men, they do not enjoy all rights compared to men. The film does not deviate from the Milk and his enviable achievements, he is portrayed as a folk who gives cold shoulder to prejudice and stereotype resulting criticism of his heterosexual behavior. The films stands with facts concerning sexism, the storyline is a free fall following its course and is well in line with the film.

The issue about sexuality is well portrayed to the fullest, it involves victims of a marginalized group that uses the usual to reveal the usually. It is way ahead of its time its cynicism and criticism of the society. Harvey best describes sexuality as an ordinary preference that does not deter individual goals and dreams, he rose from an infamous human rights activist to a political post a time when victimization of gay and lesbian community was at its peak. There is prejudice is rampant in daily lives, women despise women who fights for their rights. On the other hand gays are still skeptical of their lesbian counterparts. It evident that the society is far from accepting and accommodating women in leadership positions.
