The Butlers
Just Oprah being Oprah: Winfrey winning praise for performance in The Butler (with video).
I don’t think it is a particularly edifying thing to note that Filipinos have been the mess staff through history. But it is the truth. Today, only a few days after the global commemoration of the bombing of Hiroshima, almost no one remembers that more Filipinos died in the Battle of Manila than either atomic bombing.
Hollywood is often careless with the truth and perhaps one day the Hollywood version will be the only “truth” there is.
