I’m not going to say this is a poorly done film, oh wait I am. I was sorely disappointed in this film. Since the filmmakers toted this as a film based on a true story. I was expecting this to be the true story of this butler and it’s not. It’s a film of a butler whose life is told just to tell the story of the civil rights movement. Since the real butler didn’t have two sons or grow up on a cotton farm or he never saw his father killed. The butler never had a son in the black panther. The film wouldn’t have been as interesting but I don’t know anyone that had this interested life as the butler in the film. To me this ruins the film. I really don’t appreciate films that take a story and turn it into a story that’s false to tell a story that the filmmakers prefer to tell. It makes it seems very political or a propaganda film. Not a historical film or true story. This is a pass for me.
