Lincoln

Steven Spielberg, Daniel Day Lewis, & Sally Field have all won Oscars and a boatload of awards. So how can this movie be bad? It’s not, this is an excellent movie. If I was not told in advance that Daniel Day Lewis was portraying Lincoln I would not have known it was him, he is that good. Sally Field who was a hottie (believe it or not) back in the seventies plays Mary Todd. Field gained over 20lbs and she nails the role. Spielberg also throws in the great Tommie Lee Jones in a supporting role and he almost steals the show. The movie covers the period during the Civil War when Lincoln struggles with continuing carnage on the battlefield and as he fights with many inside his own cabinet on the decision to emancipate the slaves. I am not worried if the movie portrays all the facts correctly or if Lincoln's voice was booming or not. I was entertained and that's one of the reasons why I enjoyed the movie.


Verdict:

I have viewed every actor that has portrayed Abraham Lincoln in anticipation of this film and Daniel Day Lewis has done the best job to date. Oscars all around for this group, what do you think?
