Lee Daniel's : The Butler
A couple of days ago me and my friend decided to go to the movies. With a last minute decision we decided to go see The Butler. If you have not seen the previews for this movie, it is set in the time of the 18th century, when racism was at its highest. In this movie I realized how bad it truly was back then; between the KKK riots of killing blacks, The Black Panther group rioting for their rights, and much more, it was a heartbreaking movie. It was centralized around a man who lost his dad when he was young and was raising by a woman not right in the head. He escaped his home town and got hired at The White House as a butler. He worked there all of his life. He had two children, one was in the army and one fought for his rights. His child, Louis, joined The Black a panther and got arrested many times. When seeing how these people were treated, I cried. During the whole movie I cried at least 5 times. It was heartbreaking. That movie gets 5 stars from me.

I can't wait to see this movie! I think it was set in the early 1900s though.
