Flag walk
Anyone notice near the end of the film (after Milk's beating)the scene in which Thomas Turgooses character is walking towards the beach with the England flag in his hand is very similar to this iconic picture from the Falklands war.

The dirt track is very similar. I'm sure the director meant something with this scene, maybe its the end of Thomas Turgooses character own personal war.
