Milk

I hardly can keep my eyes open, but I have to share some thougths about the movie I just saw: Milk. Sean Penn plays the main character Harvey Milk, who was a gay politician in San Francisco in the 1970s. He fought for the rights of the homosexual community, first in his quarter Castro and then in the whole USA.
On my way home thoughts rushed through my mind, but now I can't quite capture them... The movie deeply impressed me. I admire Milks brave to never give up although there were a whole lot of barriers, he even got threats to murder him if he won't stop. I was touched by several scenes in this movie, which I don't describe here in case anyone hasn't seen the movie yet. For the same reason I won't tell the ending, although I wish I could.
Of course I know, that there are a lot of people on this planet who don't exactly share my opinion of a just world and human rights or whose opinions even might be contrary to mine. Nevertheless I was shocked by statements made by Milks political contrahents, saying that they want to take away all civil rights from homosexual people and that there is no place on earth for them. These might not have been the exact words they used, but the movie is based on a true story, so the general message should be the same. I absolutely don't have any words for that.
Reading through the post again I am not sure if it really expresses my thoughts but right now there is no better way to fomulate it. This is not because of the foreign language, my impressions and feelings about this movie are just a bit chaotic. Maybe there will be a more structured post in a few days...

Still wondering...

...does everything that I write down here, have to make sense? Hopefully not ;-) At the moment, I'm smelling like a bakery, because I just took a egg liqueur cake out of the oven. That's a cake my mother baked a lot when I was a kid and everytime I eat it, it reminds me of wintertime in my childhood. It tastes really good - it includes quite a lot of chocolate ;-) Actually, I wanted to write about the movie I saw on thursday. I didn't really want to go to the cinema, because I had to get up early the next morning, but my friends finally convinced me to come with them and I have to say, I'm glad they did. We watched "Sherlock Holmes" and it was gorgeous. I laughed a lot, it was thrilling, fast and ironic. Robert Downey Jr. did a really good job as Holmes and I loved Jude Law as Watson, because in this movie, he wasn't so cocky and plane as in other movies I've seen him in. All the actors act very british in my "prejudiced" eyes and I just like the black humor of british movies. And, on top, everyone is dressed very elegant and looks quite impressive. Hopefully, there will be a sequel.

P.S.: I'm working on my reviewing skills, too.
