[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1058454, member: 12570"] Saw "Lincoln" this afternoon. The theater was about 1/2 full. This movie is every bit as good as advertised. The attention to detail is by far the best that I have seen in a long, long time. I enjoyed watching the behind-the-scenes "vote buying" used to secured ratification of the 13th Amendment. You would think today's political circus is organized compared to that portrayed in this movie. Daniel Day-Lewis totally immersed himself in his character, right down to his mannerisms and voice. The script was expertly written, the cast was an all-star ensemble, the direction was superb---as I said, it was every bit as good as advertised. The only part I was somewhat disappointed with was the way his death was portrayed. The announcement of his assassination to the pronouncement of death took about 5 minutes. This is a must see.
