LINCOLN The Movie

Claudia and I went to see the movie Lincoln,

Lincoln,is a lonely man with grim visions.He is married to a mentally troubled wife,that followed the death of their first son. Lincoln finds politics a sort of relief from family life.

Daniel Day-Lewis' potrayal of,the President is a soft-spoken,Lincoln is a highly intelligent philosopher, Daniel-Day Lewis is amazing as usual, always watchable.

He is extraordinary, displaying an anger and strength of spirit that seem as close as we can come to see how Lincoln actually would have behaved.

Day is surrounded by a cast of stars like Sally Field (Mary Todd Lincoln) and actor James Spader, who offers funny moments as a political fixer, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Lincoln's son Robert.

Lincoln is a, political drama that focuses on the last four months (and one in particular) of the newly re-elected 16th president’s life and his political maneuvering as he works to pass the 13th Amendment and abolish slavery and to end and win the Civil War

Perhaps most surprising is that the film show us the sometimes boring and childish behavior and workings of the democratic process, and even if we know the outcome, the film creates a good level of suspense.

A beautifully done film, with touching moments of one of the greatest Presidents the United States of America has ever had.
