long struggle

Seeing the middle part felt a little verbose, and finally when Gaines heard on TV that Obama won and held Louis's hand tightly, the grievance that had accumulated for a long time and could not be expressed in words, he had been struggling for a long time. The hardships were relieved. He took out the tie that Kennedy gave him to iron a new one and went to the White House to meet Obama. This side of black servants and black presidents has trans-historical significance. Although the side of Gaines and Obama was not photographed at the end, I personally feel that if the black servants and the black president were photographed Enns would have been better off serving Obama once. The highlight of this film is at the end, and even for a moment I feel that the United States is a very great country.

Sure enough, it cannot be separated from the tediousness of the biographical film. It is too deliberate to trace the traces of the history of the black struggle in the United States and it is not fun.

The main theme is correct, and Ooguanhai's election finally seems to have built a monument of "touching the United States" for the old butler who has forbeared for decades. Does the film think that the status of black people today depends on black people like the housekeeper, or black people like his son? I don't know, and the director probably doesn't know, because the only fun of the whole movie is to see if the actors of the president of the United States look alike.
Lee Daniels' The Butler quotes
-
Gloria Gaines: Everything you are and everything you have, is because of that butler.
-
Cecil Gaines: America has always turned a blind eye to what we done to our own. We look out to the world and judge. We hear about the concentration camps but these camps went on for two hundred years right here in America.
