Was she involved in the murder of Lincoln?

There are a few things that attracted me to watch: the

realistic set, the character modeling. Just like China in the 1920s and 1930s, the Civil War period was also a rather mysterious and desirable time in American history.

Big-name actors take turns: from Kevin Kline, Tom Wilkinson, Robin Wright, to James McAvoy, Evan Rachel Wood and the lovely Alexis Bledel.

The subject matter can actually be better explored, but unfortunately the script is a bit weak. From the point of view of the story alone, it is still quite catchy, but some of the dialogues are a bit old-fashioned and quite contrived.

Another film that made me have an archaeological impulse.

It was directed by Robert Redford. In fact, this is not a film with a lot of room for actors to play.

Rating: 7.5 out of 10

    The big export hand must be extraordinary! Lincoln assassination, small focus, defending the despised people when the crowd is excited, a good story unfolds like this! But I feel that some problems are that the motivation of the lawyer played by Mai is not enough, and it seems that there is a natural sense of justice as a defender! Several debate scenes in it are also very exciting, and the best ending is also heart-wrenching! That son, I couldn't help but say something, it really made my teeth itch!

    There are no laws in wartime! The male lead is great! Political film, overall dull!

    Sarah Weston: But you can ignore me, us?
