Last night I watched:

Lee Daniels' The Butler

After leaving the South as a young man and finding employment at an elite hotel in Washington, D.C., Cecil Gaines (Forest Whitaker) gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he is hired as a butler at the White House. Over the course of three decades, Cecil has a front-row seat to history and the inner workings of the Oval Office. However, his commitment to his "First Family" leads to tension at home, alienating his wife (Oprah Winfrey) and causing conflict with his anti-establishment son.

I have not seen such a poignant movie in quite some time. I tend to watch movies that make you think (from time to time) - especially about things that are relevant to our present and/or past. This one did exactly that. If you have not seen it, you should.
