Lincoln: Remembering on the day of the TV Premiere

Lincoln is being aired on TV today at one PM and Nine PM. In case you have not watched it you may not want to miss it.!!! One of the greatest Biopics made. Recommended for professionals and students. I am taking the liberty of producing my review on Lincoln. Lincoln What happens when the world's greatest director and the world's greatest actor come together? Results in a movie that is extraordinarily evocative and sublime. What hits you hard is not what you see on the screen but what really went behind the screens. The clarity of Spielberg is stunning. The biopic does not focus on Abe's life but a slice of his life. The drama behind passing the 13th Amendment in the US constitution which will abolish slavery. We therefore get to see the empathy and the emotional intelligence as a human being, the deep convictions, the Machiavellian instincts of a politician, the shrewdness of a practising lawyer, the vision and responsibility of a leader, the strategic intent, the awareness of the powers available at his disposal and the urgency to get through with the amendment. Daniel Day Lewis(DDL) Converts Speilberg's vision into reality. DDL, must have literally starved his way into the role. With sunken eyes and no fat around the cheeks, with a drooping shoulder, a calm voice that resonates from deep below, DDL recreates Lincoln with authenticity that blanks out any images of the angry characters in either Left Foot or There Will be Blood. Yes there is the occasional regrettable slap or the pounding of the table exerting himself as the President, but, DDL breezes through a historic personality emoting a innumerable emotions with extraordinary ease. Most importantly this is a must watch for every student and professional. This is an object lesson in communication. Whether it is the vocabulary, diction, effective usage of words, putting forward a point of view, debate or disagreement. To understand this movie completely, multiple viewings are recommended. This movie is strictly for the serious and discerning movie goer!! .
