(Spoiler) "The White House Butler" is reminiscent of "Forrest Gump", and also tells the changes in modern American society through a character's decades-long experience. In comparison, I prefer "White", because "A" is too fairy tale, "White" is based on the true story of Eugene Allen, adding an...

The word...
