I read a review (I wish I could remember where) that didn't like the way the movie focused on Lincoln politically and personally. It said that the family problems were distracting. I completely disagree. I think that by balancing the plot to show both the political and personal aspects of Lincoln's life we are able to identify with him. The movie was very good at showing Lincoln as a human, he is not put up on some pedestal. He is shown as a man trying to do what is right, whatever the cost.
Uncle Mike and I seen the movie yesterday. I really liked it. I liked how they portrayed Pres. Lincoln, showing both sides of his life. All the actors and actresses did a great job. Yes, Tommy Lee Jones was a favorite. Loved his characters surprise ending!

ReplyDeleteI Googled his character and it sounds like they portrayed him pretty correctly, but maybe a little on the romantic side. But I like when they do that.
