Lincoln Movie - Your Reviews

[wsanto]

Great post! You have encapsulated my feeling towards the movie as well with your insight. I too felt the scene with the soldiers was a bit contrived and , ultimately, unneccessary.

I beg your pardon while I rewite Mr. Kushners script and rework Mr. Spielberg' masterful vision a bit---but I would have opened the film with the second inaugural speech and ended it with him walking toward the door of the White House. Or an alternative would be finish the film with the deathbed scene and then let DDL re-enact the Gettysburgh Address. That would have been sweet as well.
