and french montana is the new chevalier

Anyway, I saw Lincoln today. Very solid movie about an important subject. It was a well crafted movie, the acting was superb as expected, and it was basically just a pure joy to watch it. However, be aware that it's a slow-paced movie about politics. The subject is the 13th Amendment, not Lincoln. Ultimately, it's hard not to be impressed by the movie because the subject is so well treated and the film is technically brilliant, but ultimately it's hard to fall in love with the movie, you're simply just too distanced for that.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

how is it technically brilliant? it was neither entertaining nor informative(gross historical inaccuracies), the formula of good actors plus serious subject doesnt always amount to good movie.

Never underestimate the cinematic majesty of The Don (Knotts).

First of all, it was technically brilliant when it comes to cinematography, the music and the acting. Second of all, I thought it was entertaining. Despite its length and pace, I wasn't bored at any second, and I enjoyed watching such a well-crafted movie about such an important subject. It's slow-paced for a reason, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

About the historical inaccuracies, this obviously isn't a documentary. It's a four months process boiled down to a 2,5 hours film. It's given that many things are simplified. Does this mean that the film isn't informative? Not at all, if you ask me. The film gives a good overview of the 13th amendment and the history behind it. Add to this, that it's still relevant today, and much can be learned from the film. I thought Spielberg managed to handle an important subject delicately. Should you learn history from this film alone? Of course not, but it's a great supplement.

the formula of good actors plus serious subject doesnt always amount to good movie.

Obviously.
