dayman Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Thought it was very good. Would be interested to hear others thoughts. By my account, Day-Lewis has handed in yet another stunning character performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meazza Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Lincolns body double is shot and he goes to the middle east. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayman Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Honestly though for people who do not know, it's not a pure bio...it mainly tracks the passage of the 13th amendment .. the debate around it...the horse trading to get the votes...and Lincolns involvement in all that including possibly delaying quicker end to the civil war in order to make sure it passes (although it is unlikely the supposed "negotiated peace" would have been acceptable anyway). Well worth the watch. Several great performances in there btw besides just Day-Lewis...truly a star studded movie and about 19th century legislative politics.

It was sold out last night so I have to wait. Was th "negotiated peace" the attempt before the election? I know the southern negiators were right across the Niagara river here in Canada and Lincoln did not take them serious at all. The Confederacy was just racists gone wild.

Wacka Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Happened to have the TV on the other morning and the airhead on CBS reviewed the movie. She said that Daniel Day Lewis got Lincoln's voice spot on. :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 According to writers of the time, Lincoln had a thin, high-pitched voice with a markedly MidWestern twangy accent. Meesturh Preasuhdent. Maaay Eye haf aye wurd wif ewe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're just dying to tell us, so I'll bite. How many sexually ambiguous, emo vampires did Lincoln kill and who's your new teen heartthrob crush?

John Adams Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Also enjoyed it. Team of Rivals was better and this was an abridged adaptation. Very little about the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
