once, just once, it would be nice to see a movie with blacks that isn't just about racism.

If you didn't like this movie you weren't listening the most compelling movie on the racial tensions in the USA bar none. Forest for best actor is no contest the rest of the cast was amazing. Bravo to all involved.

Amazing how they captured the struggles of the times. An awful reminder of a turbulent part of US history, but one that shouldn't be forgotten. Will be a real eye opener for anyone born after 1970.

Excellent movie highly recommended

Excellent movie, particularly if you lived through that period and can relate to what happened. Oscar for male actor would not surprise. My only negative comment is that it was just a bit too long...draggy at times. Would recommend to everyone.

Magnificent. Forrest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey gave a phenominal performance. I loved this show. So sad in parts and yet so true in others. AN Oscar performance.

The best picture I've seen since Out of Africa. Just magnificent. It will remain in my memory forever.

The Butler part with the interaction within the White House was great. The other part was sh**

Good movie, I would definitely recomend it. Not entirely sure what was missing to make it great. A revelation, a guiding principle a feeling of never again, or somehow we as a society learned our lesson. Racism comes in many colours and flavours, social inequalities and issues still haunt us at every turn. Perhaps it is simply a story from a "coloured" perspective. It would have been nice to have a developed white character that one felt close to to find redeption and true friendship in the spirit of the true transformation to an integrated culture that took place. The movie "Brian's Song" with James Caan and Billy D Williams from the 70's comes to mind.
