Watch The Times of Harvey Milk For Free

You won't be disappointed!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

As a fan of Gus Van Sant's 2008 film Milk, I'm pretty aware of Harvey Milk's life and influence. I wasn't aware that Milk is pretty much a film adaptation of The Times of Harvey Milk. With a blend of archive footage and interviews, this documentary works at lightning speed pace within the 84 minutes for direct information and maximum emotional impact. It's got highly involving moments, truly allowing the importance of the events and the man to shine through, even if you don't live in California or aren't homosexual. Whilst it's often tearjerky, including scenes of the interviewees weeping, it's never overtly sentimental and always remains engaging. Although it's often abrupt at times, Harvey's death and reaction coming in around the hour mark, it's fascinating to explore the aftermath, especially with Dan White's infamous "twinkie defense." It gave me a new perspective on Harvey Milk as well, particularly in how he was a man who wasn't taken very seriously finally being taken seriously - an aspect of which Sean Penn's immediately celebrated Harvey Milk didn't live up to. Only with tragedy does the party and potential truly mean something. Terrific documentary filmmaking.9/10

After I saw the movie, I think we should to learn how to esteem the others who are not similar with ourselves. Even the person has the different sexual orientation. Harvey Milk is a successful political, but he was been killed because his sexual orientation. The same thing has no chance to happen in Taiwan. Because I think people should know the violence couldn't solve any problem. I felt so pity after saw the movie. But I felt so lucky in the same time because in this society, more and more people learn how to esteem the others that decrease the probability of violence. In the movie, we can learn many things. Also could to think what should we do when we meet the same thing. The documentary is that I strongly recommend.

I felt so sad about seeing this video, because Harvey Milk is a really successful supervisor. Also in Taiwan, some of really incorruptible political figure were being killed by the group of people who try to bribe him.I can't believe that Harvey Milk died of different opinion with other supervisor. However, we have to learn how to respect the difference and try to learn from it. Not everything always go our way and under control. It might the hardest things that we have to accept, but that's the reason why we have to negotiate with others. Using violence cannot solve any problem between two sides. Thus, never try to solve any problem by this way. However, that is the example of Harvey Milk. Voilent kills the remarkable supervisor. No matter your sexual orientation or the side you support , we should respect the difference.

Harvey Milk was too good to be true, too unaffected as a debater, too approving of silliness, too capable of laughing at himself, too serious about equality, too angry about inequality, to endure on this plain of existence as a leader. Time has thanked his bravery in running for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and becoming California's first openly gay public official. Why was that so brave? Because that conquest may well have been at his own peril.Rob Epstein's Oscar-winning documentary illustrates the life and death of not only Milk but odd one out Mayor George Moscone, who both were killed by Dan White, one of Milk's fellow supervisors. It also depicts the political and social atmosphere in San Francisco, which throughout the 1960s and '70s began to be a magnet for emergent quantities of gays owing to its customarily accommodating viewpoint. Milk was one of them, and in old photographs we see him in his beatnik days before he ultimately shaved and opened a camera store in the Castro District. It was from Castro that Milk ran for office and was beaten three times before at long last winning in the same election that placed the first man of Chinese extraction, the first black woman, and the first declared feminist on the board. Milk was a virtuoso self- promoter, and this Harvey Fierstein-narrated opus embraces first-rate TV news footage showing him campaigning on such matters as people not picking up their dogs' poop, and stepping, with accurate measure, into a tactically located pile of such at the culmination of the interview.There is a whole heap of great footage of Milk, Moscone, and White, who disliked gay people. It is interspersed with later interviews with many of Milk's loyal comrades, including a seasoned leftist who confesses that he was bigoted against gays until he met Milk and began to appreciate the political concerns implicated. There is immeasurably touching, volume- speaking footage of the two demonstrations motivated by the deaths of Milk and Moscone: a noiseless, candle-lit procession of 45,000 people on the night of their deaths, and an outraged night of rioting when White got what a compassionate sentence.This is an enthralling piece, as the light it casts on a decade in the life of a great American city and on the lives of Milk and Moscone, who made it a better, and unquestionably more appealing, location to live.
