Movie Reviews of The Times of Harvey Milk 1984

Movie Review: a pride-booster in a box.
Summary: 5 Stars

After reading the biography of disco-superstar 'Sylvester' this summer I was intrigued about a mention of 'the mayor of castro street' and I went to a screening of 'The Times of Harvey Milk' here in London. The film, released here fully and lovingly restored (with a whole other disc of extras) is something everyone (gay or otherwise) should see. This Oscar-winning documentary pieces together like an aids quilt the inspiring and tragic story of Harvey Milk, who was a beacon of hope and a brave leader in the then fledgling fight for gay and lesbian equality. Its an incredible tale and one you will need a box of kleenex for, it's one that many of the younger 'friends of dorothy' should see as it will school you on the battles fought and now perhaps, sadly taken for granted. Incidently, if you get this handsome volume you will be in good company as no-doubt Mr. Sean Penn is studying all those 'harvey-isms' as he will be starring in the up-coming bio-pic directed by Gus Van-Sant. What else can i say about this film except that i'm very pround to own it and that its narrarated by Harvey Fierstein and is scored by a then un-known Mark Isham. It's one that you will no-doubt lend out to friend's regardless of their orientation because as you will see Harvey championed the right of every minority in a time when that was a very radical concept. p.s. a friend of mine saw this film when it was released and it moved him to tears (lots of them) and he came out of the closet.

Summary of The Times of Harvey Milk 1984

A devastatingly skillful and emotionally compelling documentary, The Times of Harvey Milk charts the political rise and brutal slaying of the first openly gay city official in the United State, Harvey Milk. Ironically, the same election that brought Milk to the board of city supervisors of San Francisco also elected the man who killed him, a former police officer and fireman named Dan White. After White shot both Mayor George Moscone and Milk, his defense lawyers convinced the jury that White's judgment was impaired by depression and junk food, resulting in a conviction for manslaughter instead of murder--a verdict that prompted riots. With care and conviction, The Times of Harvey Milk captures not only Milk himself, but also the political and social landscape in which these events took place. The interviews--with friends, politicians, and journalists--are articulate and heartfelt, expressing the impact that Milk had upon this historical moment. --Bret Fetzer
