Hi D – I wouldn't say your take was that different than mine, at least we both brought our own personal historical perspectives into our viewings, so our approach was somewhat similar. But thank you for bringing up the issue of Milk's personal love life and its underdevelopment in the film. Interestingly, the filmmakers don't even talk about their handling of it in the DVD commentary. But the issue is all the more relevant given the prominence of Milk's two romantic relationships in the Sean Penn biopic – though I'm not sure I'd say that film dealt with those relationships in a thoroughly satisfying way either, esp. with the second lover who committed suicide. Those relationships seem as complicated as the man himself, and worthy of being the subject of a feature rather than the subplot.

Thanks for this Kevin. I hadn't even realised this was available on DVD – I remember hearing about it after seeing 'Milk' on its release but I'll make an effort to seek this out now as it sounds really interesting.

Thanks Jason. I have a personal interest in how documentaries work, and yes it's easy to take their craft for granted since most people figure it's a matter of pointing, shooting and interviewing.
