A movie to show that the content of the movie is still more important than the action

Rating: 9/10 (24 April 2013)

Daniel Day-Lewis stole the movie. It was personally the best acting I have ever seen. There was no action scenes in this movie which is unlikely for a movie made by Steven Spielberg, but this film proved that he is not only good with explosions. The costumes and props of Lincoln set the time periods and scenarios very well and makes the viewer fell the appropriate atmosphere and the cinematography also manipulated the emotion of the audience as well as the excellent background music by John Williams. Steven Spielberg chose to tell the story in the perfect way, through both the eyes of both political sides and the time period was very well researched especially the way that people at the time thought and that added to the emotion created through the acting. The movie went through smoothly and there were almost no parts that seemed too short or too long. The movie Lincoln although it may not be for those who are looking for an action movie but if they would really take the time and understanding to see a movie with good content and acting or is interested in a drama or a political movie then this is a good movie for you
