\u201cLincoln,\u201d filmed by Steven Spielberg, portrays a monumental time in the history of America by animating Abraham Lincoln\u2019s struggle to pass the 13th Amendment.<\/p>\n

The viewer gets a first-hand inside perspective into the political maneuvering and some personal struggles with family that the president had.<\/p>\n

The film was inspired by Doris Kearns Goodwin\u2019s biography \u201cTeam of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniel Day-Lewis stars as President Lincoln, delivering an award winning performance. Sally Field plays first lady Mary Todd Lincoln alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the Lincolns\u2019 eldest son.<\/p>\n

The family behind the White House doors has a good balance of acting talent that contributes a dramatic pull.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Tommy Lee Jones plays the sarcastically outspoken Republican leader Thaddeus Stephens who\u00a0retains the sanity during scenes of meetings at the outrageous House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

Day-Lewis delivers inspiring, eloquent speeches, a few told in the form of stories of personal experience belonging to the beloved president himself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This film shows Lincoln was a president who pushed and pulled with what power he had while he had it. First it was the emancipation of slaves ordered by Lincoln to try to unite the Union in 1863 that lays the foundation of the film.<\/p>\n

Two years later is when the struggle takes place on what it really took for a man with an ambition to abolish slavery through the 13th Amendment in January 1865.<\/p>\n

The first scene of the film is a brutally graphic war scenario with bayonets being rammed into soldiers\u2019 chests and dismembered limbs lying on the field of battle.<\/p>\n

The following scene of Lincoln speaking to two black soldiers about post-war rights for people of color together makes a clever foreshadowing of the entire film.<\/p>\n

Battle scenes and political banter over equal rights for all\u00a0men fill the\u00a0screen from\u00a0start to finish. The audience\u00a0is left with\u00a0a proud\u00a0feeling of knowing how equal rights were established in America at the end of the film.<\/p>\n

\n

The film had moments of long speech\u00a0that were well-orchestrated, so the\u00a0dull moments of long speech were close to none.<\/p>\n

A detailed wardrobe accompanied by low lighting give the film a great antique appearance. The overall selection of costumes, wigs, makeup and hairstyles bring out the historical importance of the movie\u2019s core.<\/p>\n

A great supporting cast and old-time speech make the film worth the time spent watching.<\/p>\n

I would recommend it to anyone, especially to those who have a soft spot for history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
