The story of Lincoln's attempt to pass the 13th amendment and people's lives during the time.

Rating: 6/10 (25 November 2012)

I really liked the honesty in this film. The movie makers really didn't go for the pretty and entertaining version of Lincoln's story. They didn't emphasize Lincoln's assassination like you would expect from a film about him. They focused on the true hardship that he went through. Though, I can't vouch for the historical correctness, they did acknowledge some things that are usually left under represented when you study Abraham Lincoln which I liked. I also thought that the way they started when he already in the thick of the Civil War and has already done the Emancipation Proclamation was interesting because it emphasized Lincoln's most profound and trying years. I was bothered by Mr. Stephan's wig, I was relieved when he finally took it off.
