Finally...

... got to see "Milk" at the weekend. The Gus Van Sant movie based on Harvey Milk's life. UNREAL!!! Loved every bit of it. And Sean Penn deserved every bit of that Oscar for sure. Someone else I really liked in it who I had a strange aversion to before this movie was Emile Hirsch, I thought he was great in it. Funny how Harvey Milk said to his boyfriend Scott Smith on the night he met him, "Forty years old and I haven't done a thing that I'm proud of." Less than 10 years later he had become the first openly gay man in the US to be elected to political office and won many many battles for gay rights! Just another example of how nothing is impossible in life no matter what age you are!!
