Lincoln was a phenomenal portrayal of the president in this time of toils. This film perfectly revealed not only the politics and the insights of the people of the time, but it grew a certain sympathy for Lincoln as a person and what he was trying to accomplish as a President. Likewise, the picture depicted just how complicated it was to push through the 13th amendment, and how much it meant to so many people. One of the most powerful moments in the movie to me was when Lincoln's former slave was watching him walk down the staircase after the amendment was passed, the appreciation in his eyes was moving. Also the actors were amazing and fell into their roles perfectly. The overall production of the film was outstanding with every seen having a purpose, and every witty story of Lincoln's perfectly in place. If you are looking for an action war moving, this is not it, but if you are looking for a movie that ignites a new found love for your country, this could be the perfect find.
