Steven Spielberg has done it again. This visually stunning, historically accurate film follows the story of Abraham Lincoln in his brave quest for equality. Amending the constitution to end slavery was no small feat. Amid his own grief [over the loss of his son] and the daily challenges that he faced with his two surviving children and wife, Lincoln pushed forward with a love for humanity that is nothing short of breathtakingly admirable.
Daniel Day Lewis did a phenomenal job at portraying the late Abraham Lincoln; channeling everything from the late president's posture to his soft spoken [but powerful] delivery. The entire all-star cast of LINCOLN [including two of my all time favorites- Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones] deliver a memorable performance and have created a viewing experience your not soon to forget.
