Take your kids to watch this movie together, even if they may find it boring, or don’t understand it, know that being boring and confused is also part of democracy. "Lincoln" is a simple and noble masterpiece that demonstrates the power of democracy.
Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" shows the audience the outstanding leadership talent of an ordinary character, not a perfect wax figure president, and no usual flattery.
Steven Spielberg used a very serious headline to tell the audience the most exciting story of Lincoln's life, which is also the last period of Lincoln's life. From the movie, we can see that Lincoln was angry, frustrated, weeping at all costs in order to pass this bill, and even used three lobbyists to persuade the Democratic Party members by bribery-these wandering on the edge of the constitution. It has also become the crowning point of the movie, full of humor and ridicule of politics. This time, Spielberg’s guide has touched history deeply. Of course, there is still a debate about whether the details in the film are true, but the audience chooses to believe that Lincoln is an ordinary person with flesh and blood.
Daniel Day-Lewis can be said to be the best person to interpret this role. Lincoln's tall and thin body, curly goatee and temples, deep cheeks and fierce twitching of the corners of the mouth, these details are restored by Daniel Day-Lewis The ground is in place. In the film, Spielberg tried his best to describe the process of Lincoln abolishing slavery. He didn't mention the young Lincoln. The audience saw a diligent, conscientious, democratic politician who promoted social progress and enriched this. The image of a great person.
"Lincoln" can be said to be Spielberg's most artistically accomplished film so far. Compared with his "Schindler's List" which impresses the audience with sincere emotions, "Lincoln" resurrects a great historical figure through more skilful film techniques and restrained narrative methods.
In the history of the United States, Abraham Lincoln is a character who has been mythical in textbooks. His rich early life experience and his outstanding achievements after being elected president of the United States cannot be covered by the capacity of a movie. Spielberg cleverly narrowed the film's entry point to the last four months before Lincoln's assassination, bringing the audience directly to the most critical period of the character's life.
There are many fierce struggle scenes in the movie, but these scenes did not take place on the battlefield in the wilderness, but on the debate hall of the Senate. There has never been a movie "Lincoln" that relies so much on the dialogue of characters to tell a story in Si's film. "Lincoln" contains a large number of indoor plays and character dialogues in 150 minutes. The script uses very elegant words, huge amount of information and full of drama. Without the help of subtitles, many of the dialogues in this movie would not be understood, and some of the names of famous places need to be understood in conjunction with historical knowledge outside the movie.
In the production of the film, Spielberg was very restrained this time. In the first half of the film, you may hardly feel the director's personal traces. Spielberg converged his personal style of "pseudo-literary art" in the past, and left the movie completely to the story. Except for the beginning of the film, there are almost no epic visual spectacles and excessively sensational soundtracks in the film. The photography and soundtrack of the film are completely integrated into the story. It is precisely because of this meticulous academic spirit that can make the film more valuable. In addition, "Lincoln" is not a boring educational film, Spielberg's outstanding commercial talents did not make "Lincoln" a failure in entertainment.
