Spielberg's Lincoln

[Christine]

We saw the film last night, too, and enjoyed it immensely! Daniel Day-Lewis and Sally Field were completely mesmerizing. Since I'm currently reading 'Team of Rivals' it was great fun to see many of the things in the book portrayed in the film. Earlier in the week I had shared the Ethan Allen story/joke with my husband, but during the movie he leaned over and said, "Lincoln tells it better than you!"

Sold out theater (with varying ages), lots of sniffles, and clapping. In fact, I saw three high school/college age boys, dressed typically for that age (lol) walking up to the ticket window and I sarcastically joked to my husband that they were probably waiting in line to buy tickets for Lincoln. Was I ever chagrined when I overheard them say "3 tickets for Lincoln" but it was sold out so they switched to the Bond movie!

So, don't give up on the younger generation quite yet!
