The Butler
Posted on: 09/08/2013 18:26
I don't often go to movies - this was my second since Christmas. I went with a friend to see 'The Butler' last week. I thought it was well done. I remembered most of the presidents and the events associated with them that were featured in the movie. I thought more time could have been spent on each episode, but that would have made a long movie. As it was, I found it a bit choppy. Therefore it gets an eight out of ten, rather than a nine (I almost never give tens).

My sixteen year old granddaughter went with a friend. I wondered if she would be able to follow what was happening -- most of it would have been before she was born. She didn't have my experience of having my roommate tell me that President Kennedy had been shot - or have heard about Nixon and Watergate, let alone the earlier presidents. But perhaps I underestimated her. She told me she enjoyed it.
She recently read "The Help". I'd be interested to hear her compare that book, and this movie.

We're heading out to the late show. I'll let you know how it was.
