Enjoy my reaction as I watch “Lincoln” for the first time! We had lots of automated copyright issues with this one and so we ended up putting an overlay on the video and it seemed to work, hopefully it’s not too distracting!

There will be blood, is another must see DDl Oscar winning performance!
There Will be Blood should be the next DDL movie if you haven't already done it.
I don't comment on these much but I want to say I think this is one of your best reactions.
Lincolns death was a huge blow.not just for the people at that time but all those that came after. The Reconstruction would have been totally different had he lived. A lot of resentments of today originated in the time following his death. It was a huge blow to the United States and all its people.
There's a brilliant book this movie was based off of called "Team of Rivals: the Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln" by Doris Kearns Goodwin and it dives so much deeper into most of these historical figures, their lives and their roles in the days leading to the day of the vote. It's long and a little taxing, but it's fascinating nonetheless.
The great thing about Daniel Day-Lewis is that you can watch "Phantom Thread," "Gangs of New York," "My Left Foot," "In the Name of the Father," and "There Will be Blood," and "Lincoln" and think to yourself "I can't even believe it's the same guy."
More Americans died in The Civil War than in WW2.
Great performance by Day Lewis……… apart from that……………zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ..Well done for sitting through it…. now lets get a chick flick on……please 😁
Wonderful reaction…
You mentioned a few times “why doesn’t he (Lincoln) go to the House of Representatives and explain his position.”
The President can not enter the House without an invitation from the Speaker of the House.
It has to do with our three branches of government and separation of powers laid out in our constitution.
It’s a very powerful movie and I’m thankful you reacted to it😊👍🏼.
I was looking forward to this reaction 🙂
Lincoln was the best of us.
Mary Todd Lincoln is not highly regarded as a First Lady but she’s a tragic figure. She was born to a wealthy slave owning Kentucky family so she was suspected of Confederate sympathies. She tried to update the White House to reflect what she felt it deserved but was accused of wasting money during time of war. She had four children three of whom died young: Eddie in 1850 at age four of tuberculosis, Willie in 1862 at age 12 of typhoid fever, Tad in 1871 at age 18 of pneumonia. On top of that her husband was murdered in front of her eyes. With such a fragile psyche, Tad’s death broke her and her only surviving son Robert had her briefly committed to a mental asylum. Modern historians think she may have been bipolar, but regardless, she’s a tragic figure.
What would Spielberg say about Leviticus 25 : 44?
Or Numbers 31 : 17 – 18.
Or Deuteronomy 7.
Thank you being one of the few that watches and reacts to an intelligently scripted film of high class story telling. Sally, an Oscar Winner, Norma Rae (1979), and Places in the Heart (1984). with a damn good track record over decades, had to fight like hell to get this role because of a pea brained director/producer whose name was Stephen Speilberg! with age discimination problems. Try Darkest Hour [2017] the movie about Winston Churchill.
In Springfield Illinios Lincoln's home, welcome center and museum stand. We went there a few years back. as an 8 year old in the erly to mid 1960's, my family stopped in to see the Lincoln Home , which was the only thing there, and his tomb in the cememtary about a mile away.. now for blocks around it is considered a natural park, old houses in the neighborhood preserved for authenticity. When we walked into the museum, fairly new, in the bog lobby, there stood the figures of Lincoln, Mary and their family as if greeting evryone as they came in.. I stopped dead in my tracks it looked so life like, and I wept. There is no one in Congress, the Sjupreme Court or thw White House today of any ilk, who is even fit to shine his shoes…just parasites with big mouths and criminal minds on either side of a fence that shouldn't even be there. Lord help us.
Wasn’t this just great though?!
Loved your reaction throughout, Cassie, but you and most of those who comment here leave out one crucial point: this is yet another brilliant directing job by Steven Spielberg!
Should watch John Adams then
The reason why the President wouldn't go speak to the House is the Separation of Powers: unlike in parliamentary systems, like Canada, the chief executive of the U.S. is — on Constitutional principle, if not by explicit wording — severely restricted from the kind of direct advocacy you were talking about (see Article 2, Section 3 of the Constitution), hence the private meetings with legislators and lobbyists.
On a lighter note, I find it one of the most humorous twists of irony that Lincoln and Grant are played by Brits here…
There is an amazing book called Team of Rivals that shows Lincoln's profound impact on even his greatest rivals for the presidency, who he persuaded to become his cabinet. They became fervently loyal to him
Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter is the only Abe movie needed.
Lincoln was definitely America’s best president.
I’d like to think we’d be living in a much different world if he hadn’t been assassinated because there’s so much more he coulda done.
This world could definitely better if there were more like him
You must watch Daniel Day Lewis in There will be Blood. My favorite role he's done. Incredible movie.
Perhaps you already know this, but the film is very much based on Doris Kearns Goodwin's , Team of Rivals, a history of the era covered in the film. Some of the dialogue is taken directly from her book. It is a fascinating book about a truly great man and his fight to end slavery. Thanks for watching one of Spielberg's best films, one that is sadly overlooked by many.
It's interesting that the voting scene is so exciting when we all know that the bill passed.
DDL is a wonderful actor, though I think he has stepped away from acting over the past few yrs., as I recall him saying he was done. I love him in Last of the Mohicans, the most. 😊
Not sure if you recall the 2 Black soldiers Lincoln was talking with at the start but I recognized the one on the left as just being up for an Oscar the other night, either Best supporting actor or Best Actor, I don't remember his name. Then the other is- David Oyelowo(?), who is better known. This movie had tons of well known actors and character actors. On another note, I hadn't recalled them mentioning Savannah (GA) in this until watching tonight lol. Just an FYI…..Savannah thankfully never Fell but was given as a gift to Sherman or Lincoln. The charms of Savannah won the guy in command of the Northern Army over. I was born and raised here for 70% of my life.
😊
One of the worst presidents we ever had
You should definitely watch Oliver Stone’s “JFK” from 1991.
Daniel Day Lewis is such an underrated actor. He played this so perfectly.
I really want to read Team of Rivals that inspired this movies.
Last of the Mohicans!!! 🤩🙏🏻
I've read everything I could get my hands on about Lincoln ever since I went to a public lecture in Los Angeles by a well-known Lincoln scholar, Harold Holzer. He told us that you can never learn enough about Lincoln, that there's hundreds of biographies that all reveal something new and he's right!
Yes Cassie, many buildings were named after President Ulysses S. Grant.
Daniel Day Lewis was not the only foreign-born actor to do an excellent job playing Abraham Lincoln. Canadian actor Raymond Massey played Lincoln in Abe Lincoln in Illinois. A film obviously prior to the Civil War.
Also see Abraham Lincoln, John Houston, and Young Mr. Lincoln, Henry Fonda.
Cassie pls react to Amistad
There Will Be Blood. Say less
