One of the best movies I have ever seen. This movie made me speechless, and i just still cannot believe what those people been trough!Deep respect

This movie is full of bologna. Anyone raving about this is a puppet of propaganda and enjoys the re-write and false representations of actual and historical events.

Since this movie is considered "loosely based" on the story of a man who was a White House butler, it should say so at the beginning. There are other ways to share the story of the fight for civil rights, there is no need to make up a false past about a real person. Why couldn't we just see the true story of Eugene Allen? I'm sure that story would have been interesting enough. I appreciate the need to tell the world about the fight for civil rights, but that should not have been done at the expense of a great and factual account of the interesting life of Eugene Allen.

I love when movies have a story to tell and "The Butler" surely is one of those based on a biography worth being spread. The story of a honorable man, serving a discriminating nation with such loyalty that he almost loses his son over it is definitely touching and relatable.The film touches a lot of important questions, now more than ever, of how a nation defines itself and of who is to be part of political and public decision-making and civil rights.Unfortunately, while I liked how the movie tries to tell the simultaneity of historic events, I found it a bit stiff, especially when it came to the more personal parts concerning the family itself or the relationship between husband and wife. As prominent as the cast is, I am not always sure if the film really benefits from it.All in all it is a story worth telling and it raises important issues, therefore it's surely worth a watch. But there would have been even better potential in my eyes.
