Great movie!!

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2014)

This is an amazing movie, hands down. It's extremely historically accurate, down to Lincoln's surprisingly high, reedy voice. Only very small and insignificant details were altered, and this was done only to enhance the effects and clarify the events occurring in the movie. It's exceptionally interesting to view the political strife involved in the Civil War from an insider perspective, and not only that but directly from the perspective of the president that is responsible for it all. Almost more impressive is the visual accuracy. Daniel Day-Lewis and Sally Fields are visually quite similar to the original Lincoln and Mrs. Lincoln, as are, I am sure, many of the other characters. Day-Lewis is amazing in his portrayal, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt never ceases to amaze.
