four star

"Lincoln" is very similar to "War Horse", the historical theme, the main theme, and the heavyness are all aimed at the golden man. However, as a biopic, "Lin" lacks a bit of poetry and beauty. This is a biopic of a character, not a French propaganda. Russell said I would never give my life to what I believe because I could be wrong. Lincoln was the exact opposite of him. I gave it four stars, one is for Lincoln, and the other is that it's not easy for Lao Mei to get the main melody to this level.

Two favorite sections: Mary stabs Stevens at the reception, and Stevens intimidates the wall-riders.

It is magnificent and textbook-like. Not familiar with American history + two and a half hours of film length, so tired to watch. DDL is no longer DDL, supporting roles are also various acting skills. Political themes and biopics are still not my food.

[Giving a speech at a dedication, Lincoln stands beside the flagpole, and with great ceremony takes off his hat, removes a piece of paper from inside and unfolds it, then puts on his glasses]
Abraham Lincoln: [reading] The part assigned to me is to raise the flag which, if there be no fault in the machinery, I will do. And, when up, it shall be for the people to keep it up.
[takes off his glasses and re-folds the paper]
Abraham Lincoln: That's my speech.

Abraham Lincoln: [greeting a pair of visitors from Jefferson City] I heard tell once of a Jefferson City lawyer who had a parrot that would wake him each morning crying out 'today's the day the world shall end as scripture has foretold'. And one day, the lawyer shot him for the sake of peace and quiet I presume, thus fulfilling, for the bird at least, his prophecy.
