Here, he’s a singer-songwriter, and he’s lost his acute powers...
...major prejudice in this country.” Although Milk indeed begins to break down barriers, the movie foreshadows his untimely death. “Police hated us, and we hated them right back,” Milk says on the tape. The film begins with actual black-and-white footage from the 1970s of anti-gay rioters and police brutality being used to quash gay protests. Van Sant also splices the film’s action with witness interviews about the violence. “All we could hear was screaming, crushing, smashing. It was terrifying...
