"Milk" (True Story of Harvey Milk)
Director: Gus Van saint
Writer: Dustin Black
...you mustn't surrender as Michael Fox said. In this movie, Harvey Milk's story is told. He struggled as an American gay activist who fought for gay rights and became California's first openly gay elected official. It took time and dignity for him to have done this, but this was during the 1970's; a time when people were not tolerated for being homosexual. In November 1978, Milk was assassinated, but died with dignity that he earned, just as Aristotle said "dignity consists not in possessing honors, but in the consciousness that we deserve them". Harvey was humiliated by many people, but he gave speeches and stood up for all homosexuals and himself, where as Aristotle was known as 'too smart', but his works continue to provoke, inspire, and inform even today. Therefore, both fought for what they thought was right and died with a successful and fulfilled life because dignity was shown.
