I just got home from it, and I thought it was one of the best movies I have ever seen. Daniel Day-Lewis was just brilliant.
Unfortunately, I'm feeling rather morose about the ending. | |

Threadjack!
I have a 10-year-old who is obsessed with presidents. She knows about slavery and the Civil War. She is not very sensitive to cursing or suggested sexual situations. She is probably sensitive to violence. She saw Hunger Games and was OK with that. Can she see this? She wants to. | |

DH and I saw it last night and I'll echo everything Mochi said. Daniel Day Lewis is amazing. I have to admit I had hoped the movie ended when the war did. My husband has the Doris Kearns Goodwin book it is based on but never finished. He ordered it on his kindle today ( he has easier time reading on there). I think everyone should see it, especially school children! | |

There were no sexual situations or innuendos but there was some swearing, including one F-bomb. |

There were scenes showing Lincoln riding through the battlefield littered with lots of dead soldiers; battle scenes; and one scene showing body parts (partial limbs) in a pile. |

We saw it this morning with our just turned 11 yr old. He said there were a few parts he was not quite understanding but overall like the movie alot.
Both DH & I thought it was fantastic. He read Team of Rivals last year so was very excited to see the movie. I will admit to tears flowing at several parts including the end, Daniel Day Lewis was brilliant as always! |

After reading the book it was based on and knowing the high quality that Steven Spielberg puts into everything I'm really looking forward to seeing this. I imagine it's going to be alot like Schindler's List and be a true and fairly accurate account of a very important part of history.
That being the case I wouldn't hesitate to take any kid from 5th grade or so on up. |

I really want to see this movie. I didn't realize it wasn't showing everywhere. I guess I will have to check. As I was reading this thread I was thinking surely it would be showing near us in Springfield Illinois but then I saw that it isn't in Gettysburg, so maybe not!
ETA- just checked and it is showing here |

We saw it last night, it was amazing. Daniel Day Lewis was brilliant and it was so good to see an older actress like Sally Field who's face isn't frozen from terrible plastic surgery.
My DH is a history buff, and he said on FB it was the best movie he has ever seen, EVER!

Dd (23) and I saw it last night - we both loved it. It is beautifully done, and very, very moving.
The only thing that I would caution parents about is a scene in which Lincoln visits a battlefield - it is covered with dead bodies and is disturbing (as it should be). Also a scene in which amputated limbs are being disposed of at a hospital. |

It was long and if you are the type that gets bored with a movie that is mostly dialogue then you might want to skip it. I can appreciate the movie because of how well it was done and how great the actors were but it did feel a little long. I did enjoy the history part of it, that was pretty interesting but they spent the whole movie talking about the 13th Amendment and its connection with the war but the end where Lincoln was shot felt sorta rushed. I guess at that point I was hoping for a little excitement LOL |

Wasn't it haunting?
I grew up in Illinois and I think that we were exposed to much, much more Lincoln history than kids in other states. I visited the Lincoln memorial, home, and New Salem almost every year. Heck, I even named my dog Lincoln (the black lab in my signature). But I have to tell you that there has been little more moving to me than visiting Ford Theater and the doctor's home across the street in Washington, DC (along with the museum in the basement). No matter how many times we go to DC, it will always be on my list of things to visit.

I agree. The best parts were kind of throw-away ones, like the younger son riding through the White House in a goat-drawn cart. I generally don't like Daniel Day-Lewis, but he did okay here. There were too many shots that just seemed like tableaus rather than actual scenes. In more than one, Lincoln is telling a story and everyone is looking at him like he's Jesus in DaVinci's painting of the Last Supper. I did like one part of a scene when someone says "He's telling another story" and just walks away.
In many ways, it seemed like a really old historical movie rather than anything modern. I don't think it was Speilberg at his best and I don't think it added anything to the Lincoln story. |

I don't think it added anything to the Lincoln story.
I loved the movie. So much that it's my new all-time favorite. My husband was shocked that I said that, but I feel strongly that way. But I'm obsessed with Lincoln. My birthday present a couple of years ago was a weekend trip to D.C. to see some special Lincoln exhibits at the Smithsonian -- an exhibit on Lincoln's inauguration festivities, the menus they served. We got to see the stovepipe hat he was wearing when he was shot. I CRIED.
I totally think that the film, and DDL's portrayal of Lincoln, adds a lot to the Lincoln story. For one, his voice. I've read a lot of books about Lincoln, and one of the things that historians talk about it is how, over the years, people's impersonations of Lincoln have given him a deeper voice, more suited to his speeches. More "oratorical." In reality, his voice was thin, reedy, kind of high. Some of the message boards I've read about people's impressions of the movie (on Slate.com and other sites) ... a lot of the people don't get that about DDL's voice. They want to know why DDL sounds the way he does.
I also love that it shows him 1) snuggling with his younger son 2) fighting with Robert 3) alternately shoring up Mary Todd and then telling her she has to be stronger and not give in to the temptation to freak out over every little disappointment. It humanizes him. It's much more multidimensional that some hero guy with a crazy wife. Also, his CONSTANT story-telling. It WAS a source of irritation to many of the men who worked with him. (The guy in the scene who walked away and says, "I can't take it anymore -- he's telling another story!" is Edwin Stanton, the Secretary of War. He had fought for the Republican nomination to the presidency, against Lincoln. He's one of the "rivals" in the "team of rivals" that Lincoln assembled for his Cabinet. That little scene was awesome, because Stanton, at that point, had every reason to be nervous, since the battle was one that could end the war.)

My sons and I thought it was brilliant.
I went in to it not knowing what it was going to be about. By that I mean I didn't know if it was a straight up biography of his life, or what. I loved that it was just covering a short period of time, and that it was about the wheeling and dealing behind abolition, rather than a full life story. It really gave us a lot to think about. I always tend to see political figures back then through rose colored glasses, thinking they were all noble and did everything for the right reasons. This set me straight.
If you want to see a movie for action scenes and do not like actually listening to and digesting dialogue, than it is not for you.
The only part I can think of that might be controversial to some folks is near the end when the congressman takes the proclamation home to read to his housekeeper. I personally thought it was very touching.

There were many things that made an impression, but I loved the dialogue. Toward the end when it is commented how much Lincoln had physically aged. He responded "the weariness is embedded in my bones .".  seriously, it's almost poetic when he spoke. | |

I agree with Yubon; it will sweep the Oscars.
It was the best movie I've ever seen. I felt like I was there, watching everything as it happened. I got chills and cried several times; particularly at the passage of the 13th amendment.
I'm amazed that anyone could find this movie boring. |

Stinky, iirc, Neeson had to give up the role when his schedule changed after Natasha passed. Either way, you'll notice he's not been doing anything "deep" since.
As I said when we left the theater, when DDL is your back-up actor, you're doing ok.
I wouldn't take young kids not just for the violence, but because the film assumes a lot of background knowledge. Not a word is spoken in one critical scene. If you don't already know what happened at Appomatox Courthouse, the movie isn't going to tell you. The rest has a lot you had to take in from quick dialogue. I told dds they could watch on DVR when we can stop and explain as needed. |

But Henny, he wasn't just telling a story. That was one of the parts of the film I enjoyed most. We always read that Lincoln used stories to great effect in meetings - to distract, to persuade, to undermine - but getting to see it happen was amazing.
I guess if you hadn't read that they were focusing on the 13th, you might be looking for more of a war movie - is that the action element folks are missing? I'm not sure where else that disconnect would come from. Fortunately, Skyfall is also showing so we can have both. |

While we were in Richmond last December to attend our son's graduation from VCU, they were filming the movie at locations all around the city. Some of my son's college friends were extras in the film. We teased DS that he couldn't be an extra because he can't grow a beard! LOL! I can't wait to see the movie. I'm a history geek, and I'm especially fascinated with U.S history up to and including the Civil War.
My birthday present a couple of years ago was a weekend trip to D.C. to see some special Lincoln exhibits at the Smithsonian -- an exhibit on Lincoln's inauguration festivities, the menus they served. We got to see the stovepipe hat he was wearing when he was shot. I CRIED.
We made sure to get to the Smithsonian to see the Lincoln exhibit too. LOVED it! I was surprised at how emotional it was for me.
I just love comments like this:
Do you live in the South?
Because everyone who lives in the South is a bigot and an ignorant hick, right? Those types of people don't exist anywhere else, right?  |

We went on Thanksgiving afternoon. My dh and I took our married daughter and her dh, 16 year old son and niece and nephew both 17. Everyone in our group loved it! The theater was packed and the audience clapped at the end of the movie. I wouldn't hesitate to take a 10 or 11 year old. In fact we had split up and some in our family had taken younger kids to Wreck It Ralph, but I told them they probably could have all seen Lincoln. |
