Is There A Cubefield 2

Gus Van Sant is a very eclectic author, and his continuous movement between subjects, languages \u200b\u200band historical periods is an essential component of his greatness. It 'important to remember this, especially after watching Milk : probably wrong because people like me were disappointed by the installation of traditional film. It 'clear that in recent years, Van Sant has become, rightly, subject to a kind of cult: the masterpieces that he shot in recent years, Elephant, Last Days and Paranoid Park made it a kind of hero linguistic innovation, and perhaps the greatest singer of the spiritual emptiness that characterizes the young generation of contemporary American society. It was brilliant film, the beauty of only the inner depths of the abyss that they explored, and it is also important to remember that somehow the films cited were part of a single speech, and desire to experience that one has reached the his own extreme horizon with the last Paranoid Park , Beyond which the film would have been impossible to go.
A period seems to be closed then, and Milk film has the air of a "transitional", although it has many merits: it is primarily a work of historical cut that effectively analyzes discrimination and violence perpetrated American society of the late twentieth century against its gay citizens. A movie is absolutely necessary, therefore, that sheds light on moments in recent history little busy, if only by the collective. The hero and protagonist of the story is Harvey Milk, the first openly gay U.S. politician, who became city councilor in San Francisco in 1977 and murdered the following year.

Van Sant focuses on the last years of the life of Milk, and try to deepen their personalities showing even less appealing sides (the character seems to have a certain amount of cynicism and opportunism): this is a positive side in extent to which the director refuses to give hagiography, but is somewhat inefficient in describing the figure of the protagonist, which is ultimately a bit 'out of focus. Milk is a pretty cool movie, in which emotions give way to descriptions - the latter sometimes a bit 'rough: it's a good job, well written and well shot, but far from Gus Van Sant I love the most.

Finally, the film would not have succeeded so well without the extraordinary acting by Sean Penn, truly magical, even good in the cast Josh Brolin and Emile Hirsch.
