Milk
I watched The Times of Harvey Milk documentary (which is on Hulu) before watching this movie. It’s interesting to see the same story told twice, once from afar and once as though you were a part of it. One thing is certainly allows for is a reference point to recognize just how good Sean Penn was as Milk. I occasionally thought, “Wait! This is Sean Penn!” during the movie. As others have said, this movie makes me proud to be a San Franciscan and ashamed that we didn’t fight harder against Prop 8. [imdb link]
