"Milk"

Hey gang. So, a 30 year-old San Francisco story is soon to be resurrected on the silver screen by Focus Features. Murder, gender/politics, San Francisco...these never get tired, but even so, why do you think this story in particular has been chosen for a second life on the screen? Why are we interested in this type of story right now?

here's a link to the scoop from the NY Times.

Well, prop 8 sure comes to mind...

Perhaps Milk's story can prevent the narrow minded from voting discrimination into our state's constitution.

Think you're right - there's this history of returning to the stories of the old conflicts to find insight for, or at least identification with, the current battles...
