It seems everyone does. I've seen it many times and I still do. I watched this with my mom last night and she was sobbing hugely. Just the sight of all those people and Harvey's words, so powerful:
'"I ask this If there should be an assassination, I would hope that five, ten, one hundred, a thousand would rise. I would like to see every gay lawyer, every gay architect come out - - If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door And that's all. I ask for the movement to continue. Because it's not about personal gain, not about ego, not about power it's about the "us's" out there. Not only gays, but the Blacks, the Asians, the disabled, the seniors, the us's. Without hope, the us's give up - I know you cannot live on hope alone, but without it, life is not worth living. So you, and you, and you You gotta give em' hope you gotta give em' hope."' -

Thing is, I didn't. My mom was crying at the sight of the procession, but I felt more awed. And satisfied that Milk's death meant something to those people.
I've only cried at the ends of "Missing", "Mystic River", and "Flammen & Citronen" (oh and that "Baby Mine" song in Dumbo", but anyone would cry at that one). But the end of "Milk" didn't make me weep for some reason. Maybe because I kinda knew how Milk died before watching the film. -

I cried harder than I've ever cried from a movie. In fact it sent me into a serious procession of deep thoughts. I always knew that being gay is a struggle (i'm gay) but being reminded of what Harvey Milk and so many others had to go through to get to the point we are today, well it just completely moved me. I've actually only watched it a couple times because of the serious impact it has on me. What an amazing film.
Let 'em riot. We're Sonic f.uckin' death Monkey.
