Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

SnoopyStyle The movie opens on November 27, 1978, with Dianne Feinstein as president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors announces the murder of mayor George Moscone and supervisor Harvey Milk by rival politician Dan White who resigned two weeks earlier. In the 70s, he and his lover Scott Smith opened their camera store. He became the unofficial mayor of Castro Street as he helped and organized the disenchanted. With Moscone, he reforms the voting process and becomes a driving force in San Francisco politics. This is a big significant life. The style is very traditional documentary. This is illuminating and it is obvious material for a movie. Harvey Fierstein does the narration in a deep voice. It's informative and compelling.

Michael_Elliott Times of Harvey Milk, The (1984) **** (out of 4) Terrific documentary about Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man elected to the San Francisco council. The documentary covers Milk's early days, his move to San Fran and his eventual attempts at running for an elected office. This story was eventually told by Gun Van Sant and Sean Penn in the Oscar-winning MILK and while I saw that feature before this one I must say that this documentary is a masterpiece and packs a lot of the drama that the feature was missing. The main feature's Oscar-winning performance is certainly something special but on the whole I think this documentary is about as flawless as you can get. What works so remarkably well is that director Rob Epstein manages to build up more drama than most feature films can do and what's even more amazing is how well structured the film is. This documentary really does feel as if you're watching an actual film because the director knows how to build up the story using new interviews with those who knew Milk, archival footage of Milk speaking and then we get information about what exactly was going on in San Francisco during this period. The documentary really brings Milk to life and I think even the most bitter and mean-spirited people probably would have to smile at some of the things Milk did. There's a terrific debate sequence about child molesters and the way Milk handles this was just remarkable to watch. The documentary also does a fantastic job building up Dan White, the fireman turned politician who would eventually assassinate Milk and the Mayor. THE TIMES OF HARVEY MILK won the Best Documentary Oscar and it certainly deserved it. Not many people know the story of Harvey Milk but if they do want to hear it then there's no question this is the place to start. Even those who don't care about the story should check this out just to see how a great documentary should be done.

sunnylove301 In my opinion,Harvey Milk is a courage man and he express himself truly.We should respect and support homosexuality,and should not give them pressure any more.However,homosexuality just like us,they have their rights to get along with their lovers and we should encourage them.They used to stay in a closet and people used to afraid of recognize they are homosexuality.Many people even use a no-tell policy to them.Hence,we can't have a stereotype or a strange point of view to them.Therefore,those persons who devoted to support homosexuality and fight for them are the persons we should respect.Their spirits are more resolute and more courage than many heterosexuality.We should learn their spirits and the fearless power which fight for their rights and lovers.We can not to negate one person because of his/her sexual orientation and we should respect a person due to his/her achievements and spirits.

lin5520754 After I watch the video about Harvey Milk, I feel sad about Milk. In the video, I feel Milk is a good person, and he is fearless. He is a politician, and he does not care about what people criticize him. He does not care about what people say, he just wants to do the right things. I admire his fearless and courage. He can say to every one that he is a gay, and he does not care about what people say to him. He supports "Gay Day" for gays, and I think he is a really remarkable man. He does not care about what people say, he just wants to do the right things. I was really touched by his fearless and courage. I learn more from him. Although he is died, his spirit still exists in our mind.
