Revisionist History?

Rating: Null/10 (24 February 2018)

This movie accomplished it's mission. It captured most of the aspects of politicians and who and what they were and still are. Lincoln is portrayed as a man on a mission" while being tugged and tormented by other human beings, all with agenda's, some political and some personal.
As far as being a historically accurate representation of Lincoln himself, those who find find fault with some of the "soft-soaping" of Lincoln's personal character would likely revile in any such movie made of their favorite President. Politicians are all people who compromise some of their personal beliefs for what they perceive as the greater good. They are flawed human beings, some much more than others.
Besides, who wants to go and see that kind of movie anyway? The truth can be very depressing.
