RE: The WOW Factor
From the reviews that I have heard from people who are really into Lincoln history, Tom, you are in the right thread -- The WOW factor!
However, I am in the same category as you. I have not seen the movie either because of my walking problems. I do intend to see it when it comes out on DVD. The best review I have seen/heard so far actually came from my staff member, Joan Chaconas. Joan NEVER goes to the movies and seldom watches TV. However, she did see the Lincoln movie in Gettysburg during the annual Lincoln Forum. She actually called me from the hotel to rave about the movie. In more or less her words, she now "believes in reincarnation because Lincoln has come back to life in Daniel Day-Lewis!" She thought the whole production was wonderful. On the opposite side, some people have told me that they didn't understand a lot of the politicking in it, and others have said that they wished they knew more history before seeing it. Of course, a lot of my friends were disappointed that it did not go into the assassination. I have a feeling that the National Geographic Channel's docu-drama, Killing Lincoln, on February 17, 8 pm, will solve that problem. Since I love your book, The Darkest Dawn, I think you will enjoy how well the production crew of that project made a silk purse out of a sow's ear book. P.S. You know better than to limit me to three sentences or less! |
