Quiet story of a quiet man.

Rating: 7/10 (8 January 2013)

Daniel Day-Lewis has yet to make a sub-par movie because he gives absolutely everything to each movie he's in, and Stephen Spielberg is an overall fantastic director, so it's safe to assume that this movie will be amazing. But you have to be a hardcore history buff to enjoy it because it's all technicalities and few sparks to speak of. It also gives mean more reasons to hate the two-party system. My father and I agreed that this is the type of movie that will be shown at school because movies garner more interest than text can. It's hard to say anything bad about it because Spielberg did a fine job of making it periodically accurate, and it's very much worth watching, just in 30 minute segments with a test at the end.
