Mezmerizing performance by all

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2012)

When I was a teenager, I got to see Disney's Lincoln theater-in-the-round and probably was just as mesmerized then as I was some 50 years later watching this excellent movie.
Under Mr. Spielberg direction, Lincoln and the 13th amendment come alive and one is witness to the amazing timing and supreme insight it took to pass while being transported into a nation 250 years younger.
Thank you, Mr. Spielberg and your thoughtful and amazing cast and crew. You deserve an award for your work, but also for your timing; you deserve honor and insight to where we have been while giving us strength and desire to carry on.
Also, my sincere appreciation to Doris Kearns Goodwin's phenomenal biographical book of Lincoln, Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln. She should be proud of this interpretation.
