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 consistent filmmaking principles, I don't quite understand that some people say this film is very smooth, in fact, I think the film has deliberately added a lot of drama elements, making the film ups and downs. Personally, I think the shortcoming of the film is that the rhythm of the lines is a bit fast, and those who don't know much about the historical background will not be able to keep up with the rhythm and can only grasp the main line.

    It's so beautiful, it can reach the classical in the post-modern context where individualism is prevalent, which brings tears to the eyes. The lines and performances are so brilliant that they can't be faulted, and the montage is sometimes naughty and sometimes serious, and it's interesting. At the beginning, the black person who can only appear below the neck is a puncture point, a detail that enriches "Lincoln", and is more powerful than many branches. In the end, Lincoln died as a mortal, but it made him more noble: we who are mortals but can't do it, have no excuses.

Lincoln quotes

  • [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.

    [laughter]

  • 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.

    [the guests don't laugh]
