the butler

The butler is a drama film that was recently on cinemas. Directed by Lee Daniels, it is about Cecil Gaines' life, the White House's butler for more than thirty years. The film narrates the story of this loyal man, who's been at the service of five presidents. It starts with his difficult childhood and ends up... (I'm definitely not telling you!) in 2008.

I really liked this film, it makes you think about really important thinks such as racism and also history issues. The plot is very exciting indeed, and the scene selection is really well done. This film is so moving that you have to make your best trying not to cry, and also disturbing (then you have to hold your breath..).

My advise is to look for some information about the US history, and to ask yourself something: is racism still alive in our society? And of course... do not miss this great film about equality and human rights!
