Yes, I know everyone loves this movie but...

I don't normally see this kind of a film, and after seeing it I could understand why.
After a while, it was, like...who cares? The plot spins in on itself over and over again, becomes more impossible to follow, and you find yourself staring at the actors wondering how they got involved with this film.
....Like...Ellen Page..from "Juno"? and Marion Cotillard...from "La Vie En Rose"???
(To make sure we get the inside joke about "La Vie En Rose" being played to wake up the characters from their dreams..it's played over and over again. Yes, we get it, we get it)

Compare them being caught in this film, vs. Annette Bening and Julianne Moore in "The Kids Are All Right"..a marvelous complex adult film - with no boom boom guns being shot at you over and over and over again.
The special effects get repetitive and...once again...who cares - it's all done on computers and green screens.
This film pays for the actor's homes in Malibu, and all of their other expenses...You come away feeling drained and used, watching an overblown multi-million dollar spectacle in a country that is going broke.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Milk - a fantastic film

Gus Van Sant really did a fantastic job with a very broad subject. The balance between the personal and the public was handled very well, and gave a good feel for Milk's life.
It would have been a real loss if this was a botch job, but fortunately this excellent film will be there forever to tell people about Milk, what kind of a person he was, and the incredible effect he had on Gay life today.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Thought it was interesting

The acting and period set design and costuming, plus Julianne Moore and the supporting cast make this an incredible experience.
Most of the reviews pick up the problems in the movie, but ignore them and just settle in for a truly bizarre, gripping experience!
And all of it is based on truth (for what that is worth)...Check out the Bakelite story on Wikipedia...The inventor had his own issues..
Toward the end of his life, he would only eat food from cans!!
