Abraham Lincoln's second term, with its momentous choices, has been brought to the screen by Steven Spielberg as a fascinatingly theatrical contest of rhetoric and strategy.
Nov 8, 2012
Instead of a grand tableau vivant that lays out the great man and his great deeds like so many too-perfect pieces of waxed fruit, Spielberg brings the leader and viewers down to ground level.

While the ending of Lincoln kinda have a mixed received by pretty lot of people, for me it's fair, Spielberg's intension is to make an Abraham Lincoln movie not Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth movie, 99% of the film is literally focused on Lincoln and it's pretty confusing and hard i think for Spielberg's to somehow focusing on John Wilkes Booth too because at in the end he was an important person too, so i'm ok with the ending, i'm still satisfied and appreciated and amazed on Spielberg's and of course Daniel Day-Lewis work on this movie, Lincoln is a great rare people that it's really need to be careful to potray and Daniel Day-Lewis is knock it off with his performance, the great John Williams with his beautiful and powerful score, and an incredible performance by all the supporting actor, overall Lincoln is simply gonna down as one of the greatest biopic movie i've ever watch, and so do Spielberg's, easily again one of his best for the sake of time.

There is nothing bravura or overly emotional about Spielberg's direction here, but the impeccable filmmaking is no less impressive for being quiet and to the point.

This high-IQ sermon is long but never lazy. Renouncing his tendency to make every movie take emotional flight, Spielberg sticks to the story as Kushner has artfully compressed it. Lincoln is brain food and, at another pivotal moment in American political history, an instructive feast.

At two and a half hours, Lincoln contains only a single battle scene in its opening seconds. The rest is pure talk, a keen dramatization of Doris Kearns Goodwin's tome "Team of Rivals," that delivers an overview of Lincoln's crowning achievement in chunks of strategy talk.

Lincoln is also a colossal bore. It is so pedantic, slow-moving, sanitized and sentimental that I kept pinching myself to stay awake - which, like the film itself, didn't always work.

'Lincoln' is Steven Spielberg's best historical movie since 'Schindler's List' (1993) and 'Saving Private Ryan' (1998). What he has made here is a great, important and poignant drama with Daniel Day-Lewis in one of his best performances to date, he gives us an in-depth look at a man who had to make difficult decisions to change America. 'Lincoln' may not go down as the most entertaining movie there is, but I was completely immersed and it led me to having one of the best movie-going experiences I've ever had, you forget that it's Daniel Day-Lewis and you think that's Abraham Lincoln right there. Almost as if Spielberg invented a time machine and took us back in time to see Lincoln and how he managed to abolish slavery. Definitely worth the Oscars that it won and Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones were also wonderful in their roles as Mary Todd Lincoln and Thaddeus Stevens.

Lincoln is a film about president that did some big and important staff in United States history and even though Im not from there I still respect and appriciate him in a big way.
The main highlight of this film is Daniel Day Lewis who here once again gived one spectacular performance and he completly dissapeared in role.
Rest of cast was good to expecely Tommy Lee Jones but Daniel was just scene stealer.
Story was tiny bit slow to me and I didnt understand all scenes but that didnt annoy me to much.
Lincoln is in end one ok movie about one important person in history not just United States but also whole World.

Damn, what a cast. I love films like this that have these huge casts and I keep seeing all these character actors who I recognize from other films or television shows. Daniel Day-Lewis was great (though I prefer him in Gangs of New York and There Will Be Blood, personally). Tommy Lee Jones, David Strathairn, and David Costabile, are also major bright spots. As a whole, this is an at times very interesting film about Lincoln himself, as well as everything he went through trying to get the 13th amendment passed. The performances, direction, and costume design, are all major pluses to this historical film. However, it felt a little long. Some of it could have been trimmed and the final product would have benefited from it. On top of that, Mary Todd Lincoln was almost exclusively portrayed as a total b****, while Robert Lincoln was almost exclusively shown as a wannabe soldier. Thus, I almost think Jospeh Gordon-Levitt's portion could be trimmed significantly, though his performance was fine. I also wish they either showed more elements of Mary Lincoln or trimmed her down and focused exclusively on Lincoln, his Cabinet, and the House. The ending is also poor, as it does not even show anything. While I am not a huge fan of gore, at least hearing a gunshot would have been an added plus. The way they did it felt as if they were purposely keeping us at a distance, which is annoying. The film can also be a little tedious at times and fails to hold your interest throughout the entire run time (largely thanks to the parts that add nothing much to the film as a whole). However, as a whole, the film is very well made and very well done from all parties and stands as a great look at history and is poignant even today, as though the issues are different, the divide between parties and the way votes work is all too similar.

"Como conseguir el oscar facilmente sin hacer mucho esfuerzo por Steven Spielberg" 1- Pones "Steven Spielberg" en la pelicula 2- Cogemos el modelo de guión -"Ganar Oscar modelo 001232"-, del archivador 3-Contratar a un reparto y que suelten discursos ñoños y solemnes que rocen la vergüenza ajena 4-Protagonista caracterizado casi rozando la deformación total del actor y que sobreactue y haga el subnormal lo recargue con actitudes extrañas como lo hizo en la última película que ganó con ella, el Oscar. Esto sería resumidamente lo que es Lincoln, la última turulez infantil del señor Spielberg. Es lamentable que este señor , que precisamente no es un mindundi en el cine, haya hecho solemne acto de estupidez donde resalta quizás lo peor de él. Aun flipo que esto haya ganado 2 putos Oscars y encima a mejor actor. ¿Por donde empiezo?, la película no se si considerarla un biopic, ya que como tal no es, simplemente la película está contando un hecho crucial y critico de la historia de Estados Unidos, que fue la aprobación de la 13º enmienda, que es la abolición de la esclavitud, de la que Abraham Lincoln fue artífice y de como consigue los apoyos, mientras debe conseguir la paz tras 4 años de Guerra Civil. No cuenta tanto sobre la vida de este señor, ni como consigue ganar las elecciones, o su vida anterior como cazador de vampiro...digo de su vida como abogado. El gran problema de la película, es que es una película de Spielberg con sus taras potenciadas a cotas que rozan la ñoñería y la mamarrachez, omites desgraciadamente la sobresaliente factura técnica y algunas escenas dirigidas de manera soberbia, (no nos olvidemos que este señor es un buen director) porque tenemos a algunos personajes que se comportan de maneras anómalas como si estuviesen actuando en una obra de Shakespeare o de Lope de Vega, donde les vemos recitando una prosa rematadamente recargada, que te hace pensar dos cosas, o que el señor Spielberg tiene demasiado mitificado a Lincoln o directamente quiere hacernos creer que Abraham Lincoln se creía el mismo que era "un personaje histórico", la escena de la discusión con la mujer es simplemente ridícula, de lo patética que le queda, con esa verborrea tan forzada (luego entrare en detalle con el protagonista y algunos del reparto, que tiene miga), después vemos como muchos actores de la película, se dedican a soltar discursos moñas, moralina de parvulario con intentos de pasar a la posteridad, por supuesto aderezada con una musiquilla acorde, para que quede mas serio y solemne y no parezca una parodia, da la sensación que Spielberg recicló diálogos o añadió diálogos desechados de "Amistad". Algo hiriente y doloroso que tiene esta película es la manipulación histórica y moral de Spielberg para con Lincoln, todos los personajes están totalmente extremizados, es decir, o son MUY buenos o MUY malos, donde los actos de los buenos se perdonan o se justifican, y el presidente cercano, campechano, pero las cosas malas o corruptas... ¡no son para tanto hombre!, por ejemplo lo de conseguir los 20 senadores que voten si a la enmienda ¡¡¡SOBORNANDOLOS CON TRABAJOS BIEN PAGADOS!!! O ¡EL PRESIDENTE COMETIENDO PERJURIO ANTE LA CÁMARA DEL SENADO!, encima Spielberg lo vende como que lo ha hecho bien, éticamente correcto. Ya sabemos a quien no hay que venderle la historia de Bárcenas o la de los ERES de Andalucía, para que haga una película. Retomando al personaje de Lincoln, es el mas perjudicado de todo, Daniel Day Lewis ha descubierto como conseguir el Oscar: llenarse de látex y pelucas hasta quedar irreconocible o hacer el anormal, por si acaso, el hace las 2 cosas a la vez. Lewis nos vende a un "Abuelo Cebolleta" que en los momentos mas tensos o de gravedad te cuenta una anécdota chorra, sin venir a cuento o momentos de ridículo donde vemos a un señor de 45 años haciendo a un señor de 55 años comportándose como un señor de 70 años senil y diciendo frases chorras con "profundidad", pero claro Spielberg no se queda ahí, dejándole a Lewis la libertad total de interpretar a su personaje favorito, sino que además lo vende como un señor campechano, padre que tiene ojos para su hijo menor, y sobreprotector con el primogénito, para que no muera en la guerra y su mujer se vuelva loca total. Conclusión, vergonzosa, ridícula, ñoña, infantil, una película i
