Neat article about making historically accurate sound effects for the movie.

That is absolutely amazing and wonderful to know that a production company in this day and age is so concerned with historical accuracy.

I second that! It is quite extraordinary to see that they actually used the sounds of Lincoln's pocket watch.

James Taylor????
Puh-leeez!
RE: Sounds of Lincoln - LincolnMan - 12-09-2012 05:57 PM
Well, at least Mr. Taylor didn't take it seriously.
RE: Sounds of Lincoln - LincolnMan - 05-25-2013 06:07 PM
Would Mr. Taylor be singing to the South "You've Got A Friend" or "Fire & Rain?"

Or maybe his song, 'Steamroller Blues', which Elvis did later in his career.
RE: Sounds of Lincoln - LincolnMan - 05-26-2013 10:03 PM
Ah, nice choice! Elvis totally nailed that song.

Does anyone remember the old song about the grandfather's clock "that stopped, short, never to run again on the day that the old man died?"
RE: Sounds of Lincoln - Linda Anderson - 07-06-2013 08:18 PM
I do! My son had a musical lamp when he was a baby that played that tune and my mother would sing the words to him.

After I saw the movie I must say Daniel Day-lewis did do a good job and boy they almost had him matched perfectly. I noticed they did try to be as accurate as possible when making the movie. I thought it was good but they could have added a few things but i think it was good.

Agreed I didn't see that as a good match for Abe.

Was just watching 60 minutes and they had Steven Speliberg on there and they said that the museum allowed them to record the ticking of Abe's pocket watch and the ticking you hear in the movie is his orignial watch.
