Incredible history

Rating: 8/10 (11 February 2013)

Lincoln was an emotionally moving film. Though it was extremely lengthy and slow moving in a majority of the film, the overall message was powerful. This movie is about Lincoln's life while he was president and about him trying to pass the 13th Amendment to abolish slavery. The film shows President Lincoln from the beginning of his presidency to his death. I did not realize how much Lincoln and his followers had to go through just to pass this amendment. I definitely appreciate his presidency much more. I also admire him because he was a God fearing man who tried to be Christ-like. He wanted to do the right thing so that human innocent and defenseless human beings could live a free life like the good Lord intended. There are very raw details about his life and the loss of one of his sons. The film leaves you feeling sad, but also accomplished because even thought his great man lost his life, he was a powerful man who was a Godsend who came on this earth to do a job and won. I feel that this film teaches a person to never give up no matter what the circumstances are.
