Sharee and I entered into the theater toward the upper stadium seats - Full Capacity. I smiled as we maneuvered to two empty lower stadium seats near the front. 10:30am on a Saturday morning, more than 80% full, and a racially diverse crowd.
Lee Daniels' The Butler was a film everyone wanted to see. With Oscar Buzz already being heard I was highly anticipating the start of the movie and it didn't disappoint. The acting, fashion, hairstyles, and the parallel storylines through the eyes of The Butler inside of the White House of eight US Presidents, were phenomenal and on point. Told in vignettes separated by the President in Office, the 70's era had the best and most heart wrenching scenes of the movie. On a side note, I'm a 70's baby so it really resonated with me. The laughter that came in spurts were unexpected and came exactly where needed to balance the heavy drama unfolding.

I saw the Butler and truly enjoyed it. I felt it showed all perspectives and how the "Butler" could have a tremendous influence in those Presidents lives
ReplyDeleteYes, so true. And there are truly two sides of a person. The personal side and professional side, and when the two get into the other's space, it can be confusing. I'm glad he figured it all out in the end.
