Still a movie worth watching

Although the ending is a tribute to Obama at the end, the content of the film is still good.
Whittaker and the female lead are really top notch. The deep-rooted appearance of the slave mentality is vividly portrayed.
Just don't know if it's just me, I think I like Whittaker more than his son.
Freedom is sometimes not gained by winning. Why is racial discrimination so serious in the United States? First of all, it must be due to historical reasons. But in today's society, there are still many people who look down on black people. Sometimes it is true that some black people play a negative role. For example, the son's girlfriend, the important role of this role is to tell us that sometimes it is too much to ask for freedom, that is the devil. On the other hand, Whitaker, although he was just a servant in the White House, he never even brought his wife to the White House, but for more than 20 years, he has been conscientious in his post, he is using his Action tells white people that black people are also worthy of respect. I think this method is more rational and convincing than demonstrations and rebellions.

    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 good.

    Cecil Gaines: No, sir.

    Freddie Fallows: Good. We have no tolerance for politics at the White House.
