Do you think the movie portrayed his deep sadness?

I felt a sense of heaviness and sadness in DDL's portrayal of Lincoln. It was great to see Lincoln tell a joke, even if people walked out of the room when he started to tell it! The joke telling emphasized Lincoln's need for some relief from the constant strain he was under.
