Watchable and great acting from them all, but something was missing but did watch it twice because I always miss things and managed to catch the bits I missed.
The Butler poignantly showcases the historical divide between African and White Americans throughout the terms of various Presidents up to present day Obama. Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey are outstanding in their performances showcasing the many struggles and triumphs that their family and generations of African Americans endured as they fought to gain freedom in a democratic society.
Powerful, rich, a brilliantly acted portrayal as seen through one mans life span of the development of the civil rights movement in America. One of the best dramas I have seen in a long time. Based on a true story which makes it even more recommendable.
The Butler
The Butler is an American 2013 drama movie presented on Blu-ray.
For three decades, Cecil Gaines (Academy Award Winner Forest Whitaker) served as the chief butler for eight consecutive US presidents, including Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. Working intimately with these world leaders at the White House, from his unique vantage point Cecil Gaines witnessed radical transformations in American history through the civil rights movement to Vietnam and the Cold War – and how those changes affected his life and family. Based on a true story, Lee Daniels (Precious) directs a stellar ensemble cast who between them have garnered 18 Academy Award nominations.
The incredible cast of The Butler includes Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, Jane Fonda, John Cusack, Robin Williams, Alan Rickman, James Marsden and Liev Schreiber.
