The Butler, directed by Lee Daniels has certainly made a name for itself since it came out on August 16th. The film tells the story of Cecil Gaines (Forest Whitaker), who served eight presidents during his time as a butler in the White House. He was there during crucial, historical periods such as, the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War. The Butler has been number one at the box since it debuted.
This film has gained many fans, one of them being the country’s current president. President Obama went and saw the film and had nothing but high praise for the acting and the storyline.
