This time, history is written by great men.

Aside from the output of values, "Lincoln" is worthy of the pinnacle of Spielberg's legendary film students!

The slow-simmering technique, restrained and restrained narrative, see strength in calm, and touch history deeply! The pressure inside and outside the party, the entanglement of wife and children at home, the call of national progress, he was angry, frustrated, crying and even bribed, a great man with flesh and blood was resurrected!

The abolition case, which has exhausted its last efforts, has too many political considerations, too many compromises and concessions, and only then can it weigh the weight of democracy! Civil rights, anti-war, family and national feelings, and universal values, how hard and difficult it is to push the wheel of history by oneself. The multi-element display of American politics, economy, society, military, and culture is worth savoring in fullness.

The melodiousness of "The People's House" and the cheer of "Call to Muster and Battle Cry of Freedom" complement this timeless classic. Of course, I can't forget that Daniel Day-Lewis, who has played into the bone marrow, and the collective drama of many famous actors, who brought the characters in the book vividly to the front.

If you don't watch "Lincoln", you will live in vain!

    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

  • Abraham Lincoln: But there is one Ethan Allen story that I'm very partial to...

    Edwin Stanton: No! No, you're, you're going to tell a story! I don't believe that I can bear to listen to another one of your stories right now!

    [storms out, shouting down the corridor as he goes, voice trailing off]

    Edwin Stanton: I need the B&O sideyard schedules for Alexandria! I asked for them this morning!

  • George Pendleton: Are you despairing, or merely lazy? This fight is for The United States of America! Nothing suffices. A rumor? Nothing! They're not lazy! They're busily buying votes! While we hope to be saved by the national mood?

    [looks over at Stevens, at his desk consulting with Ashley and Julian]

    George Pendleton: Before this blood is dry, when Stevens next takes the floor, taunt him. You excel at that. Get him to proclaim what we all know he believes in his coal-colored heart. That this vote is meant to set the black race on high, to niggerate

    [sic]

    George Pendleton: America...

    Fernando Wood: George, please. Stay on course.

    George Pendleton: Bring Stevens to full froth. I can ensure that every newspaperman from Louisville to San Francisco will be here to witness it and print it.
