First Review

Those of you who are AARPies may have already seen this in the current issue of their magazine. Steven Spielberg is quoted on his upcoming movie on Lincoln.

"I wanted to make a movie about a working president, not a posing president...At a time when it's become practically automatic to deride politics and politicians, we wanted to explore and celebrate what a great politician can do...We concentrated on Lincoln's political skills...I hope our film shows his acumen, his toughness, his clear-sighted judgment -- all the the things that made it possible for him to do extraordinary things, to change the world."
