Lincoln

     I will admit I watch a lot of action, thriller, adventure type films but it is a nice escape for me to see a good drama, and if it's historical fiction, all the better.
     This film follows the last days of Lincoln's life and the end of the Civil War. This film is based part on a book. The acting was well done. Enlightening. One never really thinks of the fine line of political actions. It did feel a tad bit too long, but well worth seeing. What I really liked about this film was how human Lincoln was, and how humor was inserted, here and there, to relieve some of the tension of the film. I've heard this is getting Oscar buzz, and after seeing it, I understand why. A well done piece of thematic work.
