Harvey Milk's words
In this scene inside the City Hall, Cleve Jones (Emile Hirsch) appears wearing an elegant suit, but Harvey Milk (Sean Penn) says to him: "When you come here, I want you to wear the tightest jeans possible. Never blend in. And no elevators. Ever. Always take the stairs, you can make such a grand entrance going up the stairs"."In the Declaration of Independenceit is written: "All men are createdequal and are endowed with certaininalienable rights". For Mr. Briggsand Mrs. Bryant and all the bigotsout there, no matter how hard youtry, you cannot erase those wordsfrom the Declaration ofIndependence. No matter how hard youtry, you cannot chip those wordsfrom off the base of the Statue of Liberty. That is what America is.Love it or leave it". -HARVEY MILK's SPEECH. "If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door... And that's all. I ask for the movement to continue. Because it's not about personal gain, not about ego, not about power... it's about the "us's" out there. Not only gays, but the Blacks, the Asians, the disabled, the seniors, the us’s. Without hope, the us's give up. I know you cannot live on hope alone, but without it, life is not worth living."
Don't worry, Katie, at least here in Spain I'm spreading the word of "Milk", and through this blogsite, too!
All of you -if you find the chance, I was lucky 'cause the release date in my theatre has been forwarded and I could watch it yesterday night!- will enjoy this superior and reconciliatory film "Milk", by Gus Van Sant, and please leave your opinions when you watch it.
