Forrest Gump mix founding great cause = the main melody is also good-looking

From the perspective of a black servant, the film shows the struggle of blacks in the United States for their rights from the 1920s and 1930s to the election of Obama as president in 2008.
    The protagonist of the film, Cecil, witnessed his mother being raped by a farmer and his father being shot to death by a farmer when he was a teenager. This experience had a great impact on his character. The survival of a black slave made him feel free to fight for his rights and participate in the...

White House Butler

Cecil Gaines in "The Housekeeper" isn't a special agent or a prominent character, he's just a servant.

American black history

(Spoiler) "The White House Butler" is reminiscent of "Forrest Gump", and also tells the changes in modern American society through a character's decades-long experience.

Long-lost touch - After watching the movie "The Butler"



I haven't been deeply shocked by a movie for a long time.

This movie made me think of...

The life of a housekeeper brought out the decades of struggles between the eight presidents of the United States and human rights, but it was a bit of a running account. The stars all came to run errands, but there were few opportunities to appear. It is only as a historical footnote, it is difficult to make people impressed. . Whittaker is always at the level. As for Oprah, I don't think it's particularly...
