Wow!

Rating: 9/10 (25 November 2012)

My teenage son selected the movie Lincoln for us to see today. I was a bit surprised by his selection, but even more surprised by how much we both enjoyed it. The movie did a great job telling the story and focus of the last 4 months or so of Lincoln's life. Great actors -- Daniel Day Lewis did an AMAZING job as Lincoln... Tommy Lee Jones as Thaddeus Stevens, Sally Field as Mary Todd Lincoln -- among MANY other great actors and actresses. The movie was inspirational and told the story of Lincoln's and many other legislator's efforts to get the 13th amendment passed. Very entertaining and touching. Daniel Day Lewis' portrayal of Lincoln seemed spot on. I will see this again next chance I get, great movie!
