Lincoln

Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field
Director: Steven Spielberg
Genre: History, Biography, War

Could be a long tedious make but what makes it a winner is its execution. Beautiful portrayal of Mr. Lincoln. A must watch!

Pluses:

• Daniel Day-Lewis is the man to look out for. Composed across the chaos. Humorous. Responsible. His character tells you how a President ought to be. He is no celebrity but a people's man. What dignifies him is his honor and his reluctance to make things happen
• For the first time ever i see Lincoln having a comic aspect as well, though on a much subtle note. But nevetheless, it makes him a very interesting person. Thanks to Mr. Steven Spielberg to have surfaced that facet of the Hero on screen
• Steven Spielberg, needs no word for his marvel in work. You pay him respect by hitting the big screens instead of downlaoding and watching at home
• After watching this one, now i believe i have a better understanding of the former flick on Mr Lincoln namely 'Abraham Lincoln: The Vampire Hunter'
• There is no need to dig into pluses and minuses, but only one bottomline...Go and grab a piece of the most important historical event of mankind in theaters playing near you :)

Minuses:

• Sally Field is one irritating character. If the role is played well from the history, then god bless the soul of Mr. Lincoln to have withstood a woman like that and yet have caressed her :)
• For those who may expect some war drama and action, could be a big let down. Its only about politics and no action folks
• Yes, the movie is slow paced for the very above mentioned reason, and is a lengthy one too

My rating: 3.5/5
