Not Just Cow’s Milk

3 years ago, Brokeback Mountain caused an uproar. Milk could become the new Brokeback Mountain. Milk is a movie about a gay man elected to public office in California in the 70's. As James Matney says in this month's Vox,

I still urge those over 17 to go out and watch this film. The homosexual themes of “Milk” aren’t what will make this film spectacular and isn’t going to be a pervasive component of the film. The amazing performances, and highly researched script are what will make “Milk” one of the best films of the year.

Here's the trailer of the movie.

For those 17 or over, would this be a movie you would go see? For those of us under 17, will you watch this movie when you are allowed to?

Please be respectful of other's ideas- comments on this post will not be derogatory towards homosexuals. Express your opinions in a kind, respectful manner, please.

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
