''Milk'' is a 2008 film that was directed by Creator/GusVanSant and stars Creator/SeanPenn, Creator/EmileHirsch, Creator/JamesFranco, and Creator/JoshBrolin.
Using flashbacks from a statement recorded late in life and archival footage for atmosphere, this film traces UsefulNotes/HarveyMilk's career from his 40th birthday to his death. He leaves the closet and New York, opens a camera shop that becomes the salon for UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco's growing gay community, and organizes gays' purchasing power to build political alliances. He runs for office with lover Scott Smith as his campaign manager. Victory finally comes on the same day Dan White wins in the city's conservative district. The rest of the film sketches Milk's relationship with White and the 1978 fight against a statewide initiative to ban gays and their supporters from public school jobs.
Milk was nominated for countless awards, and won 2 [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward Oscars]] for original screenplay and lead actor, Penn's second win. It was also nominated for picture, director, and supporting actor (Brolin).
