Review of The Butler

The Butler (I) (2013)
5/10
Serving the highest
2 November 2013
We follow the butler almost from start. His father is murdered and his mother raped by a Southern racist. For compensation, he gets education to become a house servant. It's a promotion

The career goes on and after a couple of decades the main character goes on from a white house to The White House. He serves from Eisenhower to Reagan. It's the time of the Civil Rights moment. Will it change his conditions?

Sad thing, it's a quite simple story on ordinary TV but not HBO level. One problem is the US presidents, who are more or less badly acted. It's a little about cheating on a period of big historic importance.
