For the people, give them rights

On a rainy night, the black soldiers silently recited the famous lines of the Gettysburg Address: of the people, by the people, for the people. Going further and further away, such a scene, a dark, hazy rainy night, the prospect of Lincoln, the prospect of the country, and the prospect of the black people all seem so illusory and bleak. Lincoln left a sentence and also the Thirteenth Amendment, which resolved the issue of equality for all at the constitutional level. Since then, Lincoln has dedicated his life.
This year marks the 150th anniversary of Lincoln delivering the Gettysburg Address. After reading "Lincoln", many people will sympathize with Mrs. Lincoln, not Lincoln. Lincoln has no relationship with black people. For these trivial matters Negroes are haggard, is Lincoln worth it! This is the humanistic concern of a great statesman and his consideration of the overall situation. At this historical juncture, he has an unavoidable historical responsibility.
Lincoln gave his life, left a few famous words, and pushed forward the constitutional amendment. On the other hand, our leaders speak sweet words enough to compile several collections of essays. What is the mass of the left, and what is the mass of the other masses, but what rights do the masses and the people really give to the masses in the system? Deng Xiaoping returned the right to control individual talents, land, and property to the public, so that people could rely on their own labor to fill their stomachs, which could be called great at that time. But filling one's stomach is a biological need, not a human need. The most fundamental human need is rights, and those who have rights are truly dignified people. People without rights, like black slaves in the pre-Lincoln era, are no different from cattle and horses, but only creatures that provide labor.

    Although a little knowledge of the background history does not prevent you from being moved by the idealism in it, even knowing the results of the final voting climax is still exciting. There are many characters, many lines and difficult to understand, so tired to read, all rely on "the president tells you a story" and James Spader's surprise cameo adjustment. The two male protagonists are indeed godly acting.

    Better than expected. In recent years, Spielberg's works are very ordinary. Because this script was written by Tony Kushner, it is a lot of wonderful. It is estimated that he was also invited to perform the surgery to show the current stalemate faced by the same-sex marriage bill and medical reform in the United States. Tommy Lee Jones and James Spader are great, not losing to Lewis. I never liked Sally Field's performances, but fortunately there is not much interference.

Lincoln quotes

  • Asa Vintner Litton: Have you lost your very soul, Mr. Stevens? Is there nothing you won't say?

    Thaddeus Stevens: I'm sorry you're nauseous, Asa. That must be unpleasant. I want the amendment to pass, so that the constitution's first and only mention of slavery is its absolute prohibition. For this amendment, for which I have worked all my life and for which countless colored men and women have fought and died and now hundreds of thousands of soldiers... No, sir, no, it seems there's very nearly nothing I won't say.

  • Thaddeus Stevens: [to Lincoln] The people elected me to represent them, to lead them, and I lead. You ought to try it.
