The story begins with a black woman who was randomly raped by a white man, and her husband dared not say a word, and was killed at will. A black man changes from being submissive to fighting for the equal treatment he deserves.
Rather than talking about the life of the housekeeper, it is better to say that it is a microcosm of the struggle for freedom and equality of black Americans.
It is a very profound film, with the shadow of an Oscar film, and it is estimated that it will win several awards next year.
It ends with the election of Obama as President of the United States.
The closing sentence "Whether all Americans will have equal rights and opportunities, this is the effort of all black Americans for their American life", made me think of the other side of the earth, well, here it is.
Movies worth watching.
