Lincoln

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.

Lincoln short comments

    The bright-sounding abolition of slavery was passed through election bribery. Although the goal sounds noble (it does not say how much the North’s motivation to suppress the South is included), Lincoln’s methods are so dictatorial, it makes me feel bad about the Republicans and Democrats. The policy has a new understanding. But the screenwriter made a mess of the characters, and the means did not feel very powerful. So it was done. Is it because of my lack of understanding..

    Every single lines of this movie is gold! Daniel Day-Lewis actually earned his Oscar by all means. However, this shall be more a documentary video than a documentary film, because film needs its twist and turn while this one possess none.

Lincoln quotes

  • Thaddeus Stevens: As long as your household accounts are in order, Madam, we have no need to investigate them.

    Mary Todd Lincoln: You have always taken such a lively, even prosecutorial interest in my household accounts, Mr. Stevens.

    Thaddeus Stevens: Your household accounts have always been so interesting.

    Mary Todd Lincoln: Yes, thank you, it's true. The miracles I have wrought out of fertilizer bills and cutlery invoices, but I had to. Four years ago, when the President and I arrived, this was a pure pigsty. Tobacco stains in the carpets, mushrooms sprouting from the ceilings! And a pauper's pittance allotted for improvements. As if your committee joined with all of Washington waiting, in what you anticipated to be our comfort in squalor, further proof that my husband and I were prairie primitives, unsuited to the position to which an error of the people, a flaw in the democratic process, had elevated us.

  • Thaddeus Stevens: How can I hold that all men are created equal when here before me stands, stinking, the moral carcass of the gentleman from Ohio? Proof that some men ARE inferior, endowed by their maker with dim wits, impermeable to reason, with cold, pallid slime in their veins instead of hot, red blood! YOU are more reptile than man, George, so low and flat that the foot of man is incapable of crushing you!

    George Pendleton: How dare you!

    Thaddeus Stevens: Yet even YOU, Pendleton - who should have been gibbetted for treason long before today - even worthless, unworthy you ought to be treated equally before the law! And so again, sir, and again and again and again, I say, I do not hold with equality in all things, only with equality before the law!
