Steven Spielberg's Lincoln is a film about how terrible movie trailers can be at their job sometimes. In the commercials for the film, Daniel Day Lewis's performance looks like tremendous overacting and ham and cheese on rye, but in the actual film all you can think is, "holy crap, Abraham Lincoln!" It is also, like I had said, about how just because something is politically expedient does not make it right.
That's... that's really all the snark I have for this movie. Why'd it have t be both so good and based on a true story? Why?
Oh, I know. It takes place in an alternate version of history where they changed the names of those who voted against ending slavery so their progeny wouldn't be called out on the street. SO, uh, that's something.
