The Butler

Alta recomandare facuta de o persoana draga mie, un film interesant care iti ofera o perspectiva ampla si diferita a problemei rasismului. Un film care trebuie cu siguranta vizionat datorita acestei povesti dramatice, poveste ce se intampla de-a lungul a multor generatii de presedinti, traita prin sufletul unui majordom de culoare, un om care a trecut prin toate greutatile ce i s-au ivit in viata si a reusit sa se descurce admirabil pana la finalul ei. Totusi, consider ca si unul din cei doi fii ai lui a avut un rol important in schimbarea miscarilor din tara, fiind o fire rebela, insa tot meritul ii revine lui Cecil. Tinand cont ca povestea are ca baza un caz real, este un alt motiv pentru care acest film trebuie vizionat. Cum spunea un prieten, ca tot se potriveste in cazul de fata: " Obama a fost singurul negru care a intrat in Casa Alba fara mop "

Nota: 10/10

The Butler

Cecil Gaines was a sharecropper's son who grew up in the 1920s as a domestic servant for the white family who casually destroyed his. Eventually striking out on his own, Cecil becomes a hotel valet of such efficiency and discreteness in the 1950s that he becomes a butler in the White House itself. There, Cecil would serve numerous US Presidents over the decades as a passive witness of history with the American Civil Rights Movement gaining momentum even as his family has troubles of its own. As his wife, Gloria, struggles with her addictions and his defiant eldest son, Louis, strives for a just world, Cecil must decide whether he should take action in his own way.
