Made me think less of the real Abraham Lincoln

Rating: 4/10 (10 July 2018)

Lincoln may be an interesting film for some, but not for me. I didn't like it. This movie seems like it's nothing more than a vehicle for Daniel Day-Lewis' monologues, with filler lines from other characters in between. People argue, Lincoln interrupts and tells some random anecdote for five minutes straight as the camera slowly zooms in on him, and then everyone else nods after he finishes. Plus, this movie made me see Lincoln as just another egocentric politician instead of a hero. It's too long, it's too boring, and it's too bad that this film made me think less of the real Abraham Lincoln.
