As a 2013 Oscar® and Golden Globe® Award-winner for his performance as America’s 16th president, Daniel Day-Lewis leads an all-star cast including Academy Award® winners Tommy Lee Jones and Sally Field. Also starring David Strathaim, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and James Spader, “LINCOLN” is based on a screenplay by Pulitzer Prize-winner Tony Kushner.

My Take on the Movie
This was an amazing Epic movie, that I did see in the theater, but knew from the moment that I saw it that I was looking forward to seeing it again once it came out on video, and I was not disappointed! Not only is the story within this so compelling and strong, but bringing in the talents of Daniel Day Lewis, Sally Field, Tommy Lee ones and so many more, you are simply transported into a different time and place, so unlike our own. You get to see and experience Lincoln, not only as a President, but as a man troubled by so much around him. The movie does an amazing job at helping the viewer to get to know this amazing President from our history. You also get to feel the true divide within the country in regards to racial tension between the people, let alone the States. This is the type of movie that for me made history come alive and I cannot say enough good things about it. On top of the movie, within the 4 disc pack that I watched, I was happy to find it packed with amazing bonus features that allow you to get inside the making of the movie - which was something that especially for this movie I wanted to see and you will too!
