Review of The Butler (2013) by Alison C — 06 Dec 2014
Ug! This bloody movie! You know, can Hollywood stop giving movies misleading titles? This movie is not about Cecil being a butler for various presidents. That's the best part of the the movie. But that aspect of it is secondary to the conflict driven relationship Cecil has with his son who is a civil rights activist.
This movie has such an agenda. I was disappointed in that. And then at the end, they bring Obama becoming president into the movie and are all "Yay, Obama!" Wow... My offense has nothing to do with my personal feelings about Obama.
I don't hate Obama. But even if I adored the man, I'm offended that a movie would turn into this political propaganda nonsense. Now you REALLY have an agenda. WOW! Shame on you.
