In Lincoln, viewers got a better feel of how protracted was President Abraham Lincoln's struggle to gain freedom for slaves, and secure the end of an era of division in the country for which he served as top-gun leader. I watched Linkoln movie online on 123movies new site. Daniel Day Lewis did a marvelous job of depicting Lincoln, and showcasing his generous character, and tenacious spirit. A review of the movie which looks at several key points follow:
Not only did Lewis showcase the generous pardoning pen, the debating spirit, and the bulldog tenacity of Lincoln marvelously well; he was made up to look just like the images we have and hold dear of this president. Lewis gave Lincoln a very gravid beauty that viewers deserved to see. He showed Lincoln to be a man knowledgeable about the force of law, his duties as a president, and his power.
Sally Fields, in her abundant talent, found a way to characterize a first lady who hovered at the crux of a public figure under the public's microscope and a private wife of a great leader. She was compelling, even in the scene where she showed a quiet glee when a favorable vote was cast for the ground-breaking amendment that her husband authored.
In this movie I discovered one thing that Tommy Lee Jones can't do. This seasoned actor can not do a role badly. He so lost himself in the role of Representative Stevens, that he was awesome when bald, amazing when wigged, enthralling when young and awe-inspiring when old.
In the movie, the discourse, those debates over the fate of the nation, and those acts of political wrangling were the stuff of legend. It was easy to imagine that the story unfolded in just the way depicted.
The movie gave a fantastic viewing of the Lincoln story, and held forth a wonderful image of this president as a leader of race equality, a man of passion, and a great forward-thinking chief of staff.
Period costumes get a chin-busting nod. The scenery had an authentic feel, and the acting was flawless. This was a movie worth two plus hours of viewing. It had a keep-you-in-your-seat quality that drew viewers into the story and made them to better know Lincoln, his life, and his legacy.
