The best picture & best performance I have seen in a movie so far this year. More then just history buffs will love this. I say A+

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2012)

"Can we choose to be born or are we fitted to the times we are born into?" The Civil War is coming to an end. President Abraham Lincoln (Lewis) is trying to get the 13th Amendment to the Constitution (abolishing slavery) passed before the end of the war. Not surprisingly he meets strong opposition. Before I start as most of you know I am a huge history buff and was really looking forward to seeing this so I had high expectations. I have to admit it did not let me down at all and may have actually been better then I was hoping for. Lewis was amazing in this (as usual) and this may be his best performance so far, which is saying a lot. Im my opinion Spielberg has yet to make a bad movie and the streak does not end with this one. Best movie of the year and best performance I have seen so far. I very highly recommend this movie. Not just history fans will like this but movie fans in general. Overall, a great movie that in my opinion is a must see not only for the subject but for Lewis's performance. I give it an A+.
