Excellent reminder of our best and our worst

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2012)

Having recently read "Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer" and O'Reilly's recent book, "Killing Lincoln", what a complimentary and excellent storyline of Lincoln's amazing contribution to America by freeing the slaves. Daniel Day Lewis will certainly be nominated for this role and a shame (sham) if he does not win. The Lincoln family had many difficulties going on just between them and it's no wonder depression existed in their home. The nuances were obvious in the movie. For someone who really enjoys the action movies, this had me glued to the screen and the 2.5 hours flew by. Thanks to Doris Kearns Goodwin for her book and Spielberg. Go see this movie.
