Lincoln Trailer


A most interesting movie. Daniel Day Lewis, from the Last of the Mohicans, to the Gangs of New York, to Lincoln, is a male version of Meryl Streep. This movie worked hard to be authentic, the valved brass instruments were rotary valved instead of piston valved. It works on so many levels, but there was a little manipulation of history in this four month portrayal of Lincoln. The only thing that just didn't work for me was the casting of Sally Field as Mary Todd Lincoln. Yet, a very worthwhile movie.
