2013 Oscar winning film for Best Actor in a Leading Role ( Daniel Day-Lewis) and Best Production Design (Rick Carter) along with 10 other nominations, Lincoln is an engaging film that takes its viewers into the White House to interact with one of the most favored presidents of all time, Abraham Lincoln.
Directed by Steven Spielberg, Lincoln illustrates the battle within Congress for the passing of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution before the battles of the Civil War end. Fighting the clock, Lincoln strives to win enough Democratic votes in order to ban slavery in the United States. The film does something unique by also describing the humanness of the favored President. The film displays his relationship with his wife Mary Todd Lincoln (Sally Field) depicting the struggle of being married to the President of the United States. The film also shows the compassionate father side of Lincoln with his three sons.
On the night of the Oscars, I chose to watch Lincoln in the Student Center Ballroom. I chose this film because I enjoy historically based movies and I had heard many good things about the film. I really enjoyed the vivid emotion displayed in the film, and I like how the personality of Lincoln was portrayed, a compassionate and clever gentleman. I wish the film had included more information about the assassination of Lincoln, and the aftermath of his death for his family and the government.
I would recommend this film to anyone who would like to enjoy an American film about a favored President, Mr. Abraham Lincoln.
