politics class

I finally watched it and took a political class. At the same time, ethical thinking has been challenged.
Fortunately, the film can depict Lincoln in flesh and blood, and not one-sidedly glorify this great leader in history. Because of this, the non-political audience can recognize the fact that politics is dirty, and also understand that "dirty" things can make great people in history.
The tension of the film and play is successfully created, which is quite exciting. It's just that Spielberg's ability to control "Lincoln" is still lackluster, so, in my mind, he is still just a craftsman director.

    Calm down and savour these long and large arguments, and you will be moved by the shining idealism; the layout is neat and elegant with light; it just seems too regular and slightly flat.

    Actually this movie is not good to look at~~~ It’s a personal show. I seem to see Jesus in Lincoln’s shadow. I carefully read about the passage of Article 13 of the U.S. Constitution Amendment, which is really not easy and it is in that kind of background. I have read the House of Cards and I know how difficult it is for the Senate to pass every vote. I hope I can participate in such a struggle one day.

Lincoln quotes

  • Abraham Lincoln: With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

  • Edwin Stanton: [seeing Lincoln begin to address the room as news comes in from Wilmington] You're going to tell one of your stories! I can't stand to hear another one of your stories!
