a political mister gaines those could
we have no tolerance for politics at the white house
I'm season games i'm new but welcome everybody what the flick
then Alonso and Christy the butler which I
regrettably did not see very eager to with car buyers full name though
its Lee Daniels the butler if Tyler Perry's Lee Daniels the butler
I want that of media drag as the Butler in the white house
and so forth political plays he's a fictionalized version of a real guy
who served eight different US presidents as you know if
evolve eisenhower reagan right and seven
from the team after me fly presence by on may delay if
like the entirety of America history during the past century through his eyes
civil rights movement and Kennedy assassination
I'm White House vietnam in like that gas prices
watergate anyway it's all there and I'm is fantastic cast forth would occur over
when free
in person there in this film Tekelec the white house call him even called White
House
I wanna get calls now with my mom and still is you got here cuz
they don't swallow him some kind of secret code yeah
I'm thrilled to be working with all of you over the next four years
I never understood what you are really went through
and you change my heart's so and this is
very Oscar bait I would hope peace on the fact is Oscar bait
well yeah no no question and I think the the weakest moments in the film are the
ones where
I you can feel like he is hewing to that formula
where he wants the audience to feel uplifted to
to be so love proud and cry at the same time in
and I would watch those moments happening either okay with that so that
supposed to be but now I'm not
I'm not feeling that anyway but there's there's so much
the this movie does well that I I wish you could have to serve
shied away from water obviously the credit for your consideration moments
and focused on that I mean the for me the highlight of the film this is great
sequences take place in the early sixties where r
the butler force worker in in his coworkers a overplayed by
Lenny Kravitz and cooling junior are setting up a state dinner and while
it inner cutting with that is David a yellow as
a for Stricker Sun and a group of nonviolent protesters occupying a
Woolworth's lunch counter
in Nashville Tennessee Kennedy is OK you know it so you have
this very for a fancy dow you know what Washington DC dinner taking place
and then you have these guys being taunted and beaten
and all this stuff happening to them from by not just like cops but just the
other patrons of the woolworth's
and it's a really powerful moment and it reminds you that
so many movies so many hollywood movies about the about mmm civil rights and
racism
tend to be about white people you know the the help is all about how the white
girl learns that oh my gosh maids are being treated badly you know I'm
cry freedom is about the white journalist and miss the Owen stephen
biko to
I'm like mississippi burning about why the FBI I was so helpful during all that
period
so you know it's either okay so the move up why people that are dealing with
civil rights great and
when it addresses that stuff it does so mostly well I think this is not
Lee Daniels in paper boy lmao you know it does have some kind it I dream
well sure if not like Nicole Kidman yuri i'ma but we do see LBJ take me down
with his dog that's more likely I'm it worth it
shows it to operate I'm and
I think oprah's whole performance kinda and is parted that Lee Daniels putting
people in directions that you might not expect to see if you are and and the
love the whole parade of wigs and outfits have heard of that particular
period of history
Alfred pretty greatness you forget before Smith no pressure to act as you
get a chance to show great range here to kiss Bill trashy she's his wife
is for Twitter & oh yeah me to the heat he can do
dignified and elegant and strong in the fleet which have the role is about him
intentionally disappearing
you know because that for the bowlers were expected to do
so its he doesn't really well but it's hard to sort of
quantify that is a whoa what a helluva performance but acquitted but is it
really that is
that is acting in its own way and then he does it very well but the overall
good day for yellow i think is though is the star here he is he really worked
with the movie and
has the most interesting art I think the real-life
wife who Oprah played died I think two days before
Obama was elected I they were they were planning on voting together I read
actually the other hand a movie that and but a lot less than casting
is kinda great like I love John Cusack is nixon
it is not that a caricature that we may expect
like if he finds the insecurity in handy find that the small kine 0
awkward moments in him we try to go into the kitchen and talk to the staff
I'm days Martin's a really good candidate out because he's not doing the
Mayor Quimby
I he looks the part you get the accent down every bearing down on
fun doesn't it through your mind this evening everyone was talking about this
when she was cast his I
one thing that you hear a voice for said her voice is so distinctive like
call you that began and
glass fibers object yes they're all fine there they all why they're being not all
that counts going to a movie a lot away they think it's really the butler
and his family story are you Robin Williams as eisenhower even as
find you know a no I mean I remember them Super Bowl me away but not other
embarrass themselves either if it's really about the
yeah they're your arm is really running on a treadmill covers a long time to
time there are many does so in a fluid where there's a certain forrest gump
penis to it in terms a boy are these people always in the right place at the
right time
by David E L 00 is at the lunch counter in the knees
on the freedom rider bus that gets burned in the news with Carolina
Panthers
every when when the King it's not okay it's like he's just
the you know voy they have very good the timing there
%uh but no i i mean the if you can get around the part where the really trying
to sell this as as a big uplifting thing
fortin as an important movie exactly it's a it is a well done movie is
written by Denny strong who did
a game-changing recount for HBO I think he's got a really
good knack for kind of taking big political events and sort of you know
boiling them down to human size
um its weird thing is really good what you get
unit your 7 way very true I did guess and I i havent your 7.1
night at 7.5 for the butler I'm anxious to see other suspect you should be too
