Such ploys might make even the hardhearted weep at the tragic ending. I don't know that it was necessary to have Milk save the life of a gay teen in a wheelchair, or to repeat for those who might have forgotten it his prophetic musing "I won't make it to 50." Even so, I can't see anyone being unmoved by the army of candlelight marchers at the end. And maybe that will be enough to get people marching again.
