re: Lee Daniels' The Butler (2013)

I love how this movie didn't get a single nomination for the Oscars. Lee Daniels and Oprah seemed to be confident it would win Best Picture, but the amount of pretentiousness and outright lies in the movie gave even the most liberal people in Hollywood a bad taste in their mouths.
Like for instance it says that Gaine's father was murdered and his mother was raped in front of him as a child by white people, when nothing like that ever happened. That is one hell of an addition to put onto a person's backstory.

That is probably why they changed the name of the character from Eugene Allen (the real guy) to Cecil Gaines.

after I saw that scene I had to look up the true story to see if that really happened to him because I could smell the bullsh*t.
I mean I understand it was the 1920's or whatever, but it wasn't Civil War time. Those were free men working on a farm, not owned slaves in fear of lashings from the Master...I'm sure if there are a bunch of large black men working outside together and 1 little white man rapes one of their women and shoots one of them in the head in front of everyone, they all would have stomped his freaking guts out, raped and murdered his raggedy old mother, and burned his house to the ground
I would have actually liked to have seen that version of this movie
