Okay, now maybe this is a crazy conspiracy theory, but here goes- I saw Milk yesterday, and it was great. All the stuff about the opposition to Prop 6 in the 80s make me want to go out and get active, fighting for gay rights. Now, if you were making a movie with a political message, it seems likely that you would have a political agenda. And if you care so passionately about such an issues as to make such a heartfelt and moving film, you would want it to affect people, to move them to action. So, you would think that you would want this movie released, say, before a similarly polarizing vote would take place in the very same state as Prop 6, right? Why on earth would you wait until immediately after such a historical vote took place to release your movie? This seems especially mysterious to me considering that the movie was reported to be finished a long time ago. I remember, back in October, reading a piece guessing that the already finished Milk was being delayed in its release due to its lack of quality. And yet, now it's released, and everyone loves it. So I don't think that was the reason. Honestly, it seems to me that there was some fishy business holding back the movie's release. If I were an investigative journalist with more tools in my control, I would find out what was going on there. Who didn't want people to see Milk before the Prop 8 vote???
