A new interpretation of Lincoln's life

There are many films about Lincoln, and the first impression of this one is that it is not so close to historical facts. Lincoln, as the backbone of making the United States stronger, has always been admired by the Americans.

Imagine if the United States still adheres to the "plantation" economic model of slavery, and it is fine to collect some cotton or grains and sell it to others, then maybe it is about the same as Africa now. This is by no means alarmist! Aside from the perspective of human nature and human rights, but from the perspective of political economy, the plantation economy has severely restricted economic development and technological advancement. If we persist in the plantation economy and slave trade, sooner or later this country will become a slavery city-state. In that way, this nation is in danger of being enslaved again. Anyone, any nation who wants perseverance and the world must have something more advanced than others. Only in this way can we not be bullied and can truly win respect. The kind of remarks like "don't go further and further on the wrong road" just by slanderously infringing on the territory can only attract the result of loved ones hurting their enemies.

The book is back to the main story. The reactionary planters in the south of the world in this film are all "vampires." Lincoln was not accustomed to the evil deeds of those "vampires" since he was a child, so he became a master of art and skill. Holding a silver-plated axe in hand, wearing a traditional American suit, and a pair of shiny leather shoes on the footrest, he slashed at the vampire!

Vampires are afraid of silver. The "Battle of Gettysburg" that finally determined the course of the American Civil War was due to the heroic Northern Army defeating the vampires with silver weapons. Since then, the United States has become stronger.

The real history, everyone has learned almost in the course of "World History". Not much to elaborate here. What I want to say is that the film or the original author (Seth Grahamme-Smith) through the weird worldview setting, the war between man and vampire shows the spiritual core of that period of history. That is, the old things are overthrown, and the new things re-establish order. The film specifically mentioned that vampires have lived for many years, which represents the stubborn economic interest group of the plantation. Lincoln represents the power to change everything. This understanding can see some clues.

The true greatness of Lincoln lies in the feeling of change! Good at change. There is an endless stream of people commemorating him. He is a true hero, a great man who changed the world.

    That's the way to explain the American Civil War.

    The characters are emotionally empty, the characters are very flat, the plot is explained as quickly as a running account, and all the effort is only on the action and special effects scenes, which is a pity for such an interesting theme. The male lead really looks like Liam Neeson. It is said that the United States can think of such a theme, then I also want to see "Iron Fist Invincible Sun Yat-sen vs. Qing Dynasty Zombie Corps" must be more exciting!
