While this isn't so much a pictorial history as a typical photo album (and all the limitations and irregularities that implies), it serves as a nice complement to the comprehensive and highly readable book by the late Randy Shilts, The Mayor of Castro Street: The Life and Times of Harvey Milk. "The Story behind the Film" part is really just an advertisement for the film, but it is tolerable in this situation, despite how it made obvious that some of the actors were miscast for their roles in the film. Just read the Stilts book. And watch the documentary, The Times of Harvey Milk, which could be characterized as a lengthy (and mesmerizing) video promotion for Stilts' book. Actually, I thought the best part of the whole publication was Armistead Maupin's eloquent forward for the book. If you're not really THAT interested in Harvey Milk, then read this. Otherwise, go for the other material before even picking this book up. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

This official illustrated companion book features oral histories, archival photographs, behind-the-scenes stills, and the story of the new Focus Features film directed by Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting, My Own Private Idaho), starring Academy Award winner Sean Penn (Mystic River, Dead Man Walking) as gay-rights icon Harvey Milk. His life changed history. His courage changed lives. In 1977, Harvey Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, becoming the first openly gay man to be voted into major public office in America. His victory was not just a victory for gay rights; he forged coalitions across the political spectrum. From senior citizens to union workers, Harvey Milk changed the very nature of what it means to be a fighter for human rights and became, before his untimely death in 1978, a hero for all Americans. Part I, "The History," covering Milk's life in New York pre-1973 through his death in San Francisco in 1978, features: * a brief history of Harvey Milk * 90 historical photos * and recollections from Milk's many activist friends in his Castro Street neighborhood, campaigns and eventual victory, Prop 6 protests, the Gay Freedom Day Parade, and Harvey Milk's enduring legacy. Part II, "The Movie," details the making of the film, and includes: * commentary by screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, who was on the set every day * movie stills, side-by-side with the historical photos they re-create * and behind-the-scene shots of the real historical characters who consulted on or appeared in the film.
