Unremarkable, with few surprises. As a whole, it seems to be biased towards purely telling the historical events experienced in the life of "The White House Butler", but compared to the "Help" that I liked very much last year, it is much less human. Forest Whitaker's performance is really good, and his vicissitudes of face is like his appearance after years and hardships; no wonder some people always feel familiar, Oprah, Howard, Williams, Library Sark... so many celebrities!
Lee Daniels' The Butler quotes
-
Gloria Gaines: [looking at a picture of her granddaughter] I mean, really, Shaquanda. What kind of name is that?
Cecil Gaines: [laughing] Ain't nobody done nothing to spite you.
Gloria Gaines: Yes she did. She a ugly little old girl, too. That little pug nose. I hope she grow out of it.
Cecil Gaines: Now you need to stop that, you know that ain't right.
Gloria Gaines: Don't you think she look a little like Louis around the mouth?
Cecil Gaines: I think... she look just like you.
Gloria Gaines: Like me?
Cecil Gaines: Yeah, so you need to
[laughing]
Cecil Gaines: so you need to stop talking about her.
Gloria Gaines: Let me look at her again then, real good. She do look a little bit like me. She a pretty little thing.

Cecil Gaines: You must look through your eyes, see what it is that they want, see what it is that they need, anticipate, bring a smile to the principal's eyes.
