rowanfToday Russell and I drove up to the City to see the film Milk at the Castro Theatre. It was hard getting up after a late night eating Denise's wonderful holiday dinner.
We got up there, parked, bought our tickets when the box office opened at 9am and then went across the street and had a lovely breakfast. Then we joined the line to get into the show. The movie is amazing, I thought it really captured the time. Russell thought the camera work a bit close and claustrophobic. It is true that it didn't show much of San Francisco in the 1970's other than historical footage. Seeing Anita Bryant again after all these years brought up so much of my own history. The haters are still with us, as Prop 8 clearly shows. I would definitely recommend this film and I think Sean Penn deserves an Oscar for his protrayal of Harvey Milk.
After the movie we wandered through A Different Light and then headed home. We are watching Harry Potter films (just finished Chamber of Secrets) which made a bit of a change from the morning's fare. I love holiday weekend movie marathons. *grin*
