Lee Daniels' The Butler
Lee Daniels’ The Butler
Director: Lee Daniels The movie I chose was Lee Daniels’ The Butler and I chose the characters to talk about. The Butler is a great movie with amazing characters such as Cecil Gaines (Forest Whitaker), Hattie Pearl (Mariah Carey), Gloria Gaines (Oprah Winfrey), Howard (Terrence Howard), Carter Wilson (Cuba Gooding Jr.), and so many more. This movie is a brilliant, but truthful film on a subject that is usually shrouded in wishing thinking. It is based upon the life of Eugene Allen, who worked as a butler in the White House during eight presidential administrations. Lee Daniels’ The Butler has been made in New Orleans, Louisiana, and the USA. There has been many different views about Lee Daniels’ The Butler. One review is from www.

See Mariah Carey in a blink- or- you’ll- miss- her role as Cecil Gaines’ maltreated mother.” – Marjorie Baumgarter (Austin Chronicle), Heading: Lee Daniels’ The Butler, Date: Fri. August 16, 2013. I can agree with this critic because Mariah Carey played an amazing part in this movie. This review is also great because it gives us a visual of how Maria Carey looks. Each cast of characters gives us a different personality that make their roles unique. Some critics may have negative feedback, but with as many viewers as The Butler had the negative comments are just like water rolling off a ducks back. According to author Trevor Johnston “As such, ‘The Butler’ proves a decent, significant, but slightly stodgy affair. Its dignified restraint stifles its anger. The devil is in the detail though, since Whitaker’s admirably controlled performance shows a man so worn down by presenting a docile front for his employers that he’s unable to grasp the worth of his college-educated son’s civil rights radicalism. There’s even appreciation for the fortitude of the housewife caught between the two men (Oprah
