Historically accurate!!

Rating: 8/10 (6 January 2015)

Lincoln was a very commendable movie. It was very historically accurate which was perhaps the best thing about the film. It is quite a long film but is able to hold your attention for the vast majority of the film. It has it slow parts as all movies do, but they rapidly pick up and regrab the viewer's attention. Daniel Day-Lewis does a phenomenal job playing Lincoln. He makes the character relatable and very likable. I know myself, I fell for Lincoln's open and humorous behavior throughout the film. He did a very good job with the role he played. Sally Field also showed a very commendable performance, she played Lincoln's witch of a wife very well. I also admired the director's casting. He made all the actors look almost identical to the real historical figures within the film. It was amazing! The actors did genuinely represented the characters well! Overall it was a very good film, a bit slow at times, but very good! I recommend the film to all the history and Civil War buffs out there!!
