I have been waiting for a trailer of this movie to come out
for a couple of years, since I first heard of its development. I have not read
much about Abraham Lincoln, but I know I should take out some time someday to
read about one of the most influential U.S. presidents in history. Maybe
watching this movie will give me a tiny glimpse of this great man, which covers
the last 4 months of his life and includes the battle he goes through with the
decision to abolish slavery.
This movie also tugs at my heart a bit because it makes me
think of my dad. He loved reading and studying about history, the Civil War and
Abraham Lincoln. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to ask him why he was so
fascinated with the Civil War and the life of Lincoln. But now I am fascinated and can’t wait to see
this movie.
The lead character, President Lincoln, is played by one of
my favorite and in my and my husband’s opinions, one of the greatest actors of
all time, Daniel Day-Lewis. It is also directed by Steven Spielberg, one of my
favorite directors because of his vision and heart he puts into his movies. So
of course, I have high expectations of this movie. My expectations are also
high because they include what I think my dad would want out of a movie about a
person he was so interested in. Watching the trailer gave me goosebumps. I hope
the movie does the same.
