The Butler (I)
Details
Cecil’s journey unfolds as he witnesses firsthand the racial discrimination and inequality faced by African-Americans in the 20th century. From his humble beginnings as a young boy on a southern cotton plantation to his prestigious position at the White House, Cecil experiences both the triumphs and tribulations of the civil rights movement, including the Freedom Riders and Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic I Have a Dream speech.
Throughout his tenure, Cecil struggles to maintain a delicate balance between his loyalty to the presidents he serves and his own aspirations for change. As his son becomes increasingly involved in the civil rights movement, Cecil is torn between his commitment to his job and his desire to fight for justice and equality.
The Butler is a thought-provoking and emotionally charged film that explores themes of race, identity, and the power of one individual to make a difference. With stellar performances from an ensemble cast that includes Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, and David Oyelowo, this movie offers a powerful and gripping portrayal of one man's journey through history and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
