The best movie of 2012

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2014)

Steven Spielberg's magnificent well done Lincoln has Daniel Day- Lewis in his best performance since Gangs of New York but ironically in Gangs of New York he played a man who hated president Lincoln, but nearly 10 years after he actually was given the part to ply Abraham Lincoln himself. Also with other great performances from Sally Field, Tommy Lee Jones, Hal Holbrook, Joseph Gordon Levitt, David Strathairn, Tim Blake Nelson, and John Hawkes. Director Steven Spielberg tries to teach us not only about what Abraham Lincoln went through in his final months in office, but what he went through to try his hardest to get the 13th Amendment ratified and added to the constitution. Daniel Day- Lewis knocks t out of the park in 3rd consecutive Oscar winning turn as a wise and true American. But in the end of this movie we have to feel bad about what happened to Lincoln when he was assassinated because he was one of this country's most influential presidents.
