And the Oscar Goes to… Milk!
by Jaden
“And the Oscar Goes to… Milk!”
Better get used to hearing that because I think it might be said many times come February 22, 2009 when the spotlights stir up the smog in Hollywood for the Academy Awards that honor achievements in film.
Director! Actor! Editing! Sound! Screenplay! I expect Milk to be up for awards in each of these categories and more.
Milk is one of those rare films that has something important to say about politics and humanity — doing it with remarkable eloquence and beauty.
The images of Milk are not flickering merely to help you get through two more hours of your dreary life, the pictures confront your values, challenge your moral structure, make you feel uneasy in your plush red chair, and demand that you question yourself.

The more I hear about this film, the more I’m looking forward to seeing it. Sean Penn is an amazing actor and the story is historical and geographically close to me.
