Lincolm review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 01/07/13
"This is history." Powerful, historical, believable and dramatic. Spielberg's touch again is back though not as enticing unless one is into politics/history. Daniel Day-Lewis' accent and speech about to passing Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution that would formally abolish slavery is Oscar worthy. His performances and lengthy dialogues were just astoundingly sensational and captivating. Humor in getting the votes, score, cast, screenplay, research, wardrobe and direction were impressive. So many memorable lines but this reviewer favors: "We've been miserable for a long time. We must try to be happier." "Do we chose to be born? Or do we fit into the times where born into?" and Mary - "No one ever been loved so much by the people, Don't waste that power!" The counting of the votes was the most suspenseful and the supporting characters were efficient as well. Has one of the most fitting conclusions from the Director's picture. Lincoln is an extravagant biographical drama worth viewing and will definitely reap the rewards because of the directors/casts efforts.
