Great historical film

Rating: Null/10 (25 December 2012)

Lincoln is an excellent portrayal of the end of the Civil War and his fight to pass the 13th amendment. Daniel Day-Lewis portray Abe wonderfully. I feel he was great in character and really was passionate. It honestly shows what had to be put in to get an amendment to the Constitution passed. It shows all the effort and the "dirty business" in order to get it passed and how difficult it was to get "yes" votes. I highly recommend this movie to those who love history, and even those who don't so they can get an idea of what it took to run this nation and the difficulties Lincoln had to deal with in his two terms as president. Spielburg did a wonderful job with the accuracy of Lincoln's political life and his personal life. I think the only inaccuracy was the 50 starred flag, from what I saw, and I know there were definitely not 50 states at the time.
