Lincoln, a good story for folks to know today. The best!

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2012)

I enjoyed the character representations in this film. Of course, Daniel Lewis is just the best. However, Spader really caught my attention too. A fun part to play but he does it so well. The movie covers areas I hadn't thought about and I didn't realize the film would cover things in this way. Surprising, but excellent. I have read and heard rumors about Mary Lincoln but I liked the portrayal of her and all the detail. I think that this is a movie the family can watch, though our kids didn't go. It made us want to research the characters in the film. Thaddeus Stevens and Lydia Smith were two I had to check into after the movie. I don't usually go for Tommy Lee Jones in movies, but he was pretty good in this one. Even characters like Grant were very well done. I hope Lincoln was the man portrayed in this movie. Its a film that makes you proud to be an American.
