      lincoln

      Those who like historical films must like this film. Spielberg has done a lot of homework and has a wealth of experience to dare to shoot such a serious historical biopic, with medieval poetic lines and humorous American jokes. , The tone of black and blue constitutes the excellent artistic style of this film. It was originally an art film, but for the sake of box office, a certain drama was inevitably added, which made the film balance between business and art, in line with Spielberg's...

      Some thoughts

      The second film I watched in the archive has officially come to Beijing, and there will be many opportunities to watch movies in the archive in the future. Happy, Yeah.
        Typical of the academic school, his gestures are so orderly. The background of the 13th Amendment is more complicated than I imagined. Lincoln wanted to pass the amendment before the civil war settlement negotiations, and then force the South to accept it. However, members of the House of Representatives did not want to...

      Both Lincoln and General Lee were patriotic

      As Washington's grandson-in-law, General Robert Lee was disgusted by the South's secession, but out of loyalty to his hometown, he refused to accept Lincoln's proposal to let him be the commander of the federal government. Dry. Originally, the war with disparity in strength took four years to survive because of General Li's team, and the soldiers from the north and the south were killed and wounded by one million. President Lincoln, who was about to be re-elected, saw that he could not end,...

      For the people, give them rights

      On a rainy night, the black soldiers silently recited the famous lines of the Gettysburg Address: of the people, by the people, for the people. Going further and further away, such a scene, a dark, hazy rainy night, the prospect of Lincoln, the prospect of the country, and the prospect of the black people all seem so illusory and bleak. Lincoln left a sentence and also the Thirteenth Amendment, which resolved the issue of equality for all at the constitutional level. Since then, Lincoln has...

      How great presidents are made

      This film focuses on Lincoln's efforts to liberate black slaves. There are almost no war scenes, and the tragedy of black slaves is not mentioned much. The focus is on canvassing lobbying and political struggle, and the story has almost nothing to tell. It can be said that the story is a bit long and boring. The most impressive thing in the whole article is the conversation and quarrel, and Lincoln's heart almost collapsed.
        Daniel, who played Lincoln, is a chameleon in the show business...

      a fragment of "Team of Rivals", a debate and a vote on the 13th Amendment...severely lacking in vocabulary, unable to practice listening...one star for Daniel Day-Lewis' dedication to Lincoln's legendary final months God...

      The use of invisible tricks to achieve goals is politics, and there is no distinction between justice and injustice. Compared with the main theme we often see, the American imperial theme makes great men more like people than gods. And the saying that everyone is equal before the law, we still do not understand the meaning of it more than 100 years...

      Last year's Iron Lady was holding Aunt May, this year's Lincoln is holding DDL, the rest of the film is boring, only the protagonist's acting skills to see the natural golden man. I don't like this kind of shooting method of the academic...

      It's like Lincoln from a history book!...

    Behind the scenes gags

    1. In the film, there will often be the ticking of Lincoln's watch. This is Spielberg who went to the museum to record the time of the watch used by Lincoln.
    2. Daniel Day-Lewis plays Lincoln in this film. Bill the Butcher in "The Gangs of New York" is an opponent of Lincoln.
    3. Lincoln's Bixby letter once appeared in Spielberg's "Saving Private Wren". The Gettysburg speech also appeared in his "Minority....

    Evaluation action

    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. (New York Times Review) 
    Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" shows the audience the outstanding leadership talent of an ordinary character, not a perfect wax figure president, and no usual...

    Movie quotes

    • [first lines]

      Private Harold Green: [speaking to Lincoln on the battlefield] Some of us was in the Second Kansas Colored. We fought the Rebs at Jenkins' Ferry last April just after they killed every Negro soldier they captured at Poison Springs. So at Jenkins' Ferry, we decided warn't takin' no Reb prisoners. And we didn't leave a one of 'em alive. The ones of us that didn't die that day, we joined up with the 116th US Colored, sir, from Camp Nelson, Kentucky.

    • Robert Lincoln: The war will be over in a month, and you know it will.

      Abraham Lincoln: I've found that prophesying is one of life's less profitable occupations.

    • Mary Todd Lincoln: [to Thaddeus Stevens] The past is the past, it's a new year now and we are all getting along, or so they tell me. I gather we are working together! The White House and the other House? Hatching little plans together?

      Robert Lincoln: [Robert leans in quietly] Mother.

      Mary Todd Lincoln: What?

      Robert Lincoln: You're creating a bottleneck.

      Mary Todd Lincoln: Oh!

      [to Stevens]

      Mary Todd Lincoln: Oh, I'm detaining you, and more important, the people behind you! How the people love my husband. They flock to see him by their thousands on public days. They will never love you the way they love him. How difficult it must be for you to know that, and yet how important to remember it.

      [Mary gives Stephens a slight, lethal smile. He holds the look; his poker-face yields to a barely perceptible smile, bemused and perhaps a little admiring]
