Just saw the movie "Milk" ...

I just watched it, didn't know what it was about but had heard good things.  I was kind of surprised that it was about the struggle for gay rights... I found the whole thing frankly kind of disturbing what with the man love and all... if that movie was supposed to make me have more respect for gays and their struggle, it kind of did the opposite.  I can't even really give that movie a proper rating because on the one hand it was all very well done, but on the other it showed gays as being obsessed with sex, and me not liking watching that, I regret seeing the film and wouldn't recommend it.  Am I a bad person for being disgusted by this film?

I enjoyed the film almost as much as I enjoyed Brobeback Mountain. Personally, I don't think it showed gays a sexually obsessed people and even if it did, why feel disgust? All the rest of the people is obsessed with sex, why would gays be any different?

No, don't worry. But shouldn't you be more disturbed by the murder itself instead of the sex or love interest. If it were a lesbian love interest, I bet you wouldn't mind, but I might be wrong.

I don't have a problem with gays or anything, but the movie showed them as perverts, always with sex on their mind... whenever there was any casual conversation, it was always about how another man was cute, or about tight pants or something.  It's a hard thing to watch, sorry.  Also, the film was biased towards anyone who didn't agree with gay rights.  I think gays should have the same rights, but they made anyone who said otherwise look like a stuttering moron.

Thank you. You made me feel a lot better for not ever even considering watching this movie.

Oh, right, the murder.  Yeah that was disturbing, sorry I have to remind myself that the murder was a real event that happened.  As for lesbians, now that's a tough one.  Ok look, I don't have a problem with homosexuality either way, but come on, I'm a male, what do you expect.  Obviously lesbians wouldn't bother me, but seeing gay men being gay is gross to me.  I try not to be biased and all that, but I guess with some things I am.

I enjoyed the movie and I didn't really have a problem with the sex or love interest, but that's just me. The only concern/criticism I had with the film was its depiction of Mr. Milk. The way I saw it, the film portrayed Milk as a perfect politician, so I have to question whether this is accurate. I realize that it was a political film with a message, I just think that the way the film portrayed him could be questioned.

female gays, normal relationship, male gays,  i mean come on. were all guys here, we are horny fuckin dudes, now imagine if we were all gay, we would just fuck constantly, of course gays are sex crazy. 

hello ! I'd like to send a word of thanks to our loyal mods, who have taken the great responsibility that comes with great power, and have used it for good rather then evil. Thank you!

"female gays, normal relationship, male gays,  i mean come on. were all guys here, we are horny fuckin dudes, now imagine if we were all gay, we would just fuck constantly, of course gays are sex crazy. 

and yeah, there is way too much confusion with the film milk. its legitimacy is just one thing , another is penn winning best actor over rourke.

Gay people have all the rights they need already, so you're right, there is no reason to be against gay rights. However, there are plenty of reasons to be against flamboyant public displays of homosexual love, or against anyone who thinks gay people are "cute and sweet and funny", or against the act of shoving your penis into another man's waste-disposal organs. Surely an intelligent man such as yourself can see that.

Woah, woah, I don't think that DOUBLESHOCK is as evil as you guys are making him sound right now. I think it's just because it's something people aren't used to yet. A decade ago, movies and TV were dominated by male on female lovin', so society's in a kind of transitional phase right now. I think Milk's in the right direction, because as we see more movies and TV with gay relationships in them, their equality will become apparent.

That's just my opinion, anyway.

Anal sex? Whoa! I like the direction this thread is going.

Anyway, yeah, most people are sexually obsessed. Especially dudes like Zangief.
I haven't seen Milk. Maybe I will some day, it's not really at the top of my list. I do strongly believe in gay rights, but let me be honest, instead I'd rather just watch Slumdog Millionaire again. Milk certainly isn't a movie I'll see in theaters, and most likely, if I ever do see it, it won't be until a few years from now if I catch it on TV one night.

The fact that you can say the film was well made, but actually regret watching it just because of the gay content, I don't know... that's kinda lame. I guess maybe I feel the same way about American History X, though, just more because I found it to be too disturbing and screwed up. The difference is that there's nothing wrong with men being in love, whereas there is something wrong with curb stomping a dude because of the color of his skin.

the problem with milk is that the film is let down by its boring presentation. i got exactly the same feeling from watching the documentary the life and times of Harvey milk.
but it's not a bad film, and pean was one of the two that deserved the Oscar.

why not just say that you are a homophobe?
if you want to stop men to have anal sex with other men, then you are a homophobe or just misguided.
why not stop all men from having anal sex, regardless of its with a woman or a man?
what people do in their bedrooms with consenting people is none of your business
regardless if you like me find anal sex disgusting and stay clear away from it in your sexual relationships with other women
