Last year I had a lot of trouble getting around my neighborhood, because the Castro took a turn back to the 70's to film Gus Van Sant's movie MILK. The film is an account of one of the country's first openly gay public officials, Harvey Milk, who was assassinated in 1978, to invest the gay rights movement with mythic grandeur, as a successor to all the heroic social protest movements in American history. The film is finally opening today at the Casto theater. Wish I could be there to see it. This is good incentive for me to come back to the states.
OH, can we talk about the fact that my love James Franco plays Harvey's lover in the movie? LOVE IT.
