Lincoln Review

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2012)

In general, I thought the movie was pretty decent. The actors made the scenes pretty realistic. The set crew made the movie feel real, as if you were actually there. I thought the movie was accurate with history and it did a good job displaying the troubles that Lincoln had to deal with, both internally and externally. I feel like the Congress scenes embodied these struggles perfectly. Before watching this,I didn't realize how much public opinion differed in the north, I previously assumed that most everyone in the North agreed on how slavery should be handled.I also now have the respect for Lincoln not only as a political figure but also as a person since the movie did a good job of showing him on a personal level. On the other hand, at some times the movie was hard to follow and it took awhile in the beginning to get going. But overall, I thought the movie was good.
