@Luvsmyfam   Thank you for posting this.  I remember when this movie was released.  I thought it sounded so good.  I will definitely watch it.

I have watched this movie, The Butler several times, Forest Whitaker who plays Cecil Gaines is an excellent actor.

Agreed, @Luvsmyfam --  it's a sensitive, fascinating depiction of the "behind-the-scenes" of dedicated White House workers, and Forest Whitaker gives a very strong, subtle performance. 

 

The art direction and cinematography were especially good too, I thought, givng the whole movie a kind of 'burnished glow' as it follows historical events, as well as the butler's compelling personal story.

 

It's a winner!

Yes, Showtime channels.  

 

I just looked it up to choose an airing to record.  There are quite a few coming up on the various Showtime channels.

 

It's been quite a while since I've seen it and all I remember was that it was a really good movie.

 

Thanks Smiley Happy
