admirable work

Rating: Null/10 (30 December 2015)

one of films who impress for the precise use of details. because it propose not exactly a portrait of Lincoln but a way to discover him behind the hero or statue's image. and the chance of meeting between a great actor and an important director is the key for success of a film who brooks limits, remains cold, direct and touching, remake a national symbol and gives to it emotions, vulnerability, force and a wise manner to define the future as expression of high faith. a challenge - film. not real comfortable for the viewer but useful for understand the spirit of a period, the war of a man looking the right way for build a country from ashes. for many films, the story is the basic axis. in the case of Lincoln, the embroidery of performances is the most important ingredient. because the story seems be well known. because each of us has his image about Abraham Lincoln and the expectation to discover it on the screen. Spielberg propose more than a portrait. Daniel Lewis - Day does more than a remarkable role. the film becomes a kind of mirror for the contemporary political life. like a parable. and that fact does it a profound admirable work.
