Historic storytelling with a dash of brilliance!

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2013)

Steven Spielberg revisits an era and replicates a world when politics used to be graceful, objective, purposeful, driven and healthily humorous too. If president Lincoln was alive now, it would have been nobody but Daniel Day-Lewis! This performance is more perfect than perfection. (I could have watched a monologue running for 3 straight hours by him!). This is when democracy truly was born and you experience through the movie that it sustains itself by withstanding all complications and PEOPLE (themselves) make it what it is! Not sure if I expected the movie to be so heart numbing but yes, it does leave you breathless. This is immaculate dedication towards the art and craft of storytelling...this is respect...this is admiration! Hands go up in applause!
