      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...

      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

    • Abraham Lincoln: Euclid's first common notion is this: Things which are equal to the same things are equal to each other. That's a rule of mathematical reasoning and its true because it works - has done and always will do. In his book Euclid says this is self evident. You see there it is even in that 2000 year old book of mechanical law it is the self evident truth that things which are equal to the same things are equal to each other.

    • Abraham Lincoln: Do you think we choose the times into which we are born? Or do we fit the times we are born into?

      Samuel Beckwith: Well, I don't know about myself. You may be.

    • Thaddeus Stevens: The greatest measure of the Nineteenth Century. Passed by corruption, aided and abetted by the purest man in America.
