The 8th film directed by Sri Lanka, a main theme biopic.

In fact, I found that Spielberg's films have a characteristic, that is, the general direction of the main line is very clear, but there are often many characters and dialogues, so it takes two brushes to notice more details. In particular, the film is filled with tongue-in-cheek dialogue 90% of the time.

The story mainly focuses on Lincoln's efforts to push the 13th Amendment to the Constitution through the House of Representatives, for which he did not hesitate to suppress the news that it's either the amendment or this confederate peace (It's either the amendment or this confederate peace), and even used some disgraceful means to pull it out. vote.

Lincoln is worthy of being the greatest president in American history. He usually speaks softly and makes a final call at critical moments. Amazed at Lincoln's extensive knowledge, rich experience, humorous stories at his fingertips, and of course the famous Gettysburg speech shown in the film. Daniel Day-Lewis acted so well, both in form and spirit, and deserved the third Oscar winner.

"Lincoln in the movie is a statesman full of flexibility and wisdom, and a commander-in-chief of the armed forces; a loving father who has lost his beloved son, and a husband who is guilty of guilt. Foresight looked beyond war and devoted himself to the great game of changing the direction of a nation. He wanted to convince the American people that when people of different colors look up, they see the same starry sky."

After I understand the Civil War (the fundamental cause is the contradiction between industrial and commercial capitalism in the North and the plantation economy in the South), I understand the United States. The movie "Riding with the Devil" that I watched not long ago is also a movie about the Civil War made by Ang Lee.
