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 dedicated his life.
This year marks the 150th anniversary of Lincoln delivering the Gettysburg Address. After reading "Lincoln", many people will sympathize with Mrs. Lincoln, not Lincoln. Lincoln has no relationship with black people. For these trivial matters Negroes are haggard, is Lincoln worth it! This is the humanistic concern of a great statesman and his consideration of the overall situation. At this historical juncture, he has an unavoidable historical responsibility.
Lincoln gave his life, left a few famous words, and pushed forward the constitutional amendment. On the other hand, our leaders speak sweet words enough to compile several collections of essays. What is the mass of the left, and what is the mass of the other masses, but what rights do the masses and the people really give to the masses in the system? Deng Xiaoping returned the right to control individual talents, land, and property to the public, so that people could rely on their own labor to fill their stomachs, which could be called great at that time. But filling one's stomach is a biological need, not a human need. The most fundamental human need is rights, and those who have rights are truly dignified people. People without rights, like black slaves in the pre-Lincoln era, are no different from cattle and horses, but only creatures that provide labor.

    In this way, my values ​​have been taught by Spielberg's movies since I was young. There is a play hidden in every wrinkle in DDL.

    Atypical Hollywood epic film. Technically blameless, there is no grand war scene, but meticulous attention to historical details. The shortcoming is still in the view of history: it is gained from the strong idealism color, but is lost from a more objective and fair standpoint, to make a flat interpretation of Lincoln, the most controversial figure in American history.

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.
