Awakened My Curiosity

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2012)

Watching this movie, I realized that my picture of Lincoln was devoid of the bitter reality that he truly experienced. I believe our current government needs to see this movie to realize how it is dangerously split and unproductive. We must find a civil way to come together for the good of all. Argue, but commit to a good outcome for next generations. I will read more about Lincoln and the Civil War before I watch this movie again. Lincoln, according to this movie, was willing to break the law for good of the country. I enjoyed hearing him tell stories while in the middle of very tense moments. What a man! Did Civil War soldiers actually memorize Lincoln's famous speech at Gettysburg?
