Daniel Day Lewis does a great job playing Lincoln. This movie
really makes you appreciate all that Lincoln did for our Nation. It was
interesting to see the events happening in the the last few months of
his life. I was amazed to see the people that worked with Lincoln do
everything they could to get the votes he needed to pass the 13th
amendment. Sally Field did a remarkable job as Mary Todd Lincoln. She
was the perfect person to play Lincoln's wife. I thought it was powerful
when they were talking about letting their son Robert enlist in the
Army, Mary said if he dies in the war you will have to answer to me sir!
I liked seeing the House of Representatives in session and arguing
about what to do with the 13th amendment. This film won a lot of awards
and I can see why. The story is great and the Actors do an amazing job!
There are a ton of special features on the Blu-ray. There is
even a separate disc loaded with just special features. I liked watching
how they decided on the actors to play certain characters. I also
enjoyed watching how they made the movie. It was nice to see how
welcoming the people of Virginia were to Steven Spielberg and the rest
of the cast and crew.
