Salute to Mr. Lincoln!

Lincoln, the great man of the 19th century. He made his own great efforts to abolish slavery. The most exciting part of the movie is the vote at the end, when all the hard work becomes a reality and one of the greatest constitutional amendments in history is finally passed. Movies are art, but they don't follow history. But the basic characters and basic historical events are perfectly displayed in the film. Lincoln's melancholy character is also well displayed. Kudos to the actor! Saw the movie twice.

I admire Lincoln because of his greatness. He accomplished great feats that were almost impossible at the time. He knew he was going to be the doctor when the ills of slavery had penetrated America's bones. What a free and equal country needs to do is to continuously pursue and promote equal rights. He's not a perfect man, he's even a white supremacist, but he believes in the law that all men are created equal, he believes that God gives everyone equal rights, and he believes that if America wants to go to the world stage, it must abolish slavery He was convinced that any difficult change had to be sacrificed and bloodshed, so he tried, albeit in a disgraceful way, but he did it. And that's what's great about him, he's done right and great things with trickery, he's a hero.

Tribute to Abraham Lincoln!

    My feelings for this movie are very complicated. On the one hand, the previous part is really a bit difficult to chew, but since Lincoln’s letter postponed the peace talks, I was moved by the historical spirit that Spielberg wanted to tell. Tommy Lee Jones does not lose to Dan Dai Liu at all. Si Ye gave up his commercial approach and maintained the rigor of art, which shows his sincerity. However, the mentality of going for awards cannot be ignored.

    For me, an American historical blind, this history is completely unfamiliar, but Daniel Day-Lewis’s godlike performance has completely subverted the image of Lincoln High in my mind, and has become a story-telling elder. A cunning lawyer who took advantage of legal loopholes, a president who did nothing to achieve his goals, and even more flesh and blood, this little golden man really deserves his name, and he deserves to be the NO1 of the ever-changing movie emperor in my mind.

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!
