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.

The main line of characters and the sub-line of history are Lee Daniels.

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.
