Licoln great political movie

Rating: 9/10 (5 April 2013)

I cannot understand why the Academy and other Awards prefer Ben Affleck's Argo than Spielberg Lincoln. It's probably the best Spielberg since Schindler's list and Jurassik PArk.- Lincoln is for Spielberg filmography almost what is Age of Inocense for Martin Scorcese. Excellent script by Tony Kushner, production design by Jon Erickson Rick Carter and Costume Design by Joanna Johnston. Lincoln also has an Iconic performance of the great Daniel Day Lewis. The supporting cast is almost equally good. Oscar nominates Sally Field (maybe too many screen minutes of Mary Todd and her family) and Tommy Lee Jones are brilliant, but Lee Pace and David Strathairn are equally good or even better.
Original score and cinematography, well excellent but I wanted new names besides Williams and Kaminzki. I get a little bored of them.
And best of all the SUBJECT. In a world that divided democracies between countries with a president with absolute power in the Congress (almost a dictatorship or an Absolute Government) and others that anullates each other. It's a pleasure to see a film, that is about consensus, and explain how to obtain the votes, without loosing the integrity.
From Obama to Ahmadineyad, from Merkel to Cretina Kichner, all should learn about this great president that was Lincoln, instead of complain the opposition, god or the world for their failures. The same goes for every opposition from the republicans to the Syrian ones.-
