The "Lincoln" film

[L Verge]

I am so glad to hear the good reviews and substantial audiences. I'm hoping that history teachers across the country will assign the film as extra credit work (viewing and analyzing). That was one thing that I especially appreciated about The Conspirator movie - the producers made teachers' packets available to educators. I wonder how many educators took advantage of them?

I want this movie to blow movie producers and the public out of their seats so that they will consider doing more epics about American history. Our country needs to recognize its own past, take pride in it, strive to produce leaders like some of our past ones, and stop sinking into mediocrity and below.
