I very much envy you sir! It must've been a truly remarkable experience and I also thank you from the bottom of my heart for contributing to a piece of United States history that is probably the most important in the entirety of this nation's existence!
Lincoln the movie is an absolute masterpiece. I always wondered what Lincoln's voice sounded like and Daniel Day Lewis's version seems spot on. There are times when Lincoln yells, talks softly, and talks softly yet sternly and Daniel nails it.
Yes, I agree, the voice makes it perfect. I imagine that Daniel Day Lewis has some psychic connection to the afterlife and was able to just channel Lincoln :) Lol! Physically aswell, the walk, identical to accounts of how Lincoln was
I was on a tour in Springfield IL. We were told that Daniel Day-Lewis came to the Old State House in Springfield, where Lincoln had spoken many time, and practiced the voice in that setting.
@@tennisbum3686 I guess you're right. Couple years ago I was driving and had a cardiac arrest. 10 days later I woke up in Vancouver General. And the nurse came in and asked 'Do you know where you are?' I said it definitely looks like Vancouver to me. I had an ICU room with a window to the street so a VIP room for sure. Then she asked if I knew how long I had been here. I'm like.... no idea. If you have an out of hospital cardiac arrest its a 6% chance of survival. And a coma for longer than a week is 2% chance of recovery. A nice thing tho is heart attack patients don't have good fitness normally. Cardiac arrest patients keep their fitness. If they survive. I wanted to play golf the same day. I''ve went down to Vancouver for a couple golf trips before and I love it down there.
I have watched this movie 5 times and never has a movie made me feel like I’m watching it in real time! And yet it was a 150 years ago! A very poignant and important story!
While the film itself is clearly a masterpiece as was Daniel Day Lewis in his brilliant contribution as Lincoln I was always disappointed that Tommy Lee Jones did not receive more serious public and professional recognition for his powerful contribution. It was not his typical subject matter and setting but his performance was something to behold. It remains a totally inspiring film which I will view many more times in my life.
it seems like once Daniel Day-Lewis is on board you already have a very good movie no matter what else is going on - then you just have to do the work to make it a great movie cause Daniel is already there waiting for you.
This Movie was so VERY well done from Top to bottom...Large Cast was Great...And when Daniel Day Lewis is in the Middle of all of it The Movie becomes a Masterpiece...His role as Lincoln was absolutely RIVETING!!!...1 of the Greatest Performances i have ever witnessed
DDL is an absolute force. His acting is beautiful, he has to be one of the greatest actors to ever life. Incredible actor on a different level to anyone I’ve ever seen.
Simplicity in context, intent with an aim to imitate historical accuracy with some of the most talented people around. Light in action and audio but in a greater sense, it is truly one of the greatest movie ever made. Lincoln was truly there in person; culled from the many books that we have ever read or visualize of the person. Some critique you may wish to land on this, but we all see without any shadow of doubt; the genius of Steven Spielberg.
As a Richmond native, I watched this hoping to maybe see a shot or two of my city, or hear one mention of a local spot...but they did a full 5 minutes on it! Pretty cool to see that.
I haven't seen it, but I doubt it. The truth about the civil war and Lincoln has been distorted there's very little that is factual. I should know, I had relatives in the Civil War.
I watched Lincoln the day after my daughter was born. We had been at the hospital for three days and my wife said “I know you really want to see the movie, just go and come back.”
It must've been so surreal and amazing to work with someone who was in character the whole and did it so well it wasn't odd or awkward...just amazing. Wish I was there to see it.
This is a gorgeous piece of history and cinema combined. Incredible cast, it is rousing and powerful yet funny, heart warming and touching. So many actors given a chance to sharpen their craft together. If you love Hamilton, this movie gives you a similar feeling, it simply transports you. Beautiful.
I was very impressed with the film and how accurate Daniel Day-Lewis played Lincoln. I don't believe that any other modern actor could have done a finer job. Sally Field was perfect as Mary! How wonderful it would be if there were a prequel for the beginning act of Lincoln's life and tragedies!
When this film was released, I thought of it as historic. Suddenly... it has a whole new relevance! Sadly, a relevance I never thought I'd see in my lifetime! Where is our Abraham Lincoln?
"Lincoln" is a magnificent film. It brings history to life in a beautiful way. All the actors were great. I want to watch it again after seeing this documentary. ☺
Watching this movie Lincoln behind the scenes brings me to be a better man. Much more i believe watching the full movie and more inspiring knowing the Man Himself.
The cast was as if it was filmed in Lincoln’s time. Thanks to all who had anything to do with the making of the wonderful film. I hope I can see it someday 😢 I named my youngest son after Tad
This film and Bridge of Spies might be the last great pictures by Steven. His 2010 filmography hasn't been exactly the most stellar where other decades he was on all cylinders, but this movie was that occasion where his passion with the camera to focus on performances that really came through. It's a great political drama.
In this video, when you have a director like STEPHEN SPIELBERG you can't go wrong and I enjoy watching his films and what I understand he is making another film
I love Spielberg’s historical dramas so much more than his big blockbuster adventure films don’t get me wrong but this movie is gorgeous and all the acting is incredible. Especially DDL
I have a friend from college who was in this movie as an extra. He said it was a very cool experience and that everyone treated him very well. The Walking Dead also does some filming here in Southern Virginia as well the whole area appreciated everyone very much.
I grew up 15 minutes from the birthplace of Jeff Davis.....and now I live 15 minutes away from the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln. There is a cemetery near me that holds the remains of Abraham Lincoln's midwife and a few rows away from her are the remains of two brothers. One a Confederate soldier the other a Union soldier. Both KIA on the same day at the battle of Shiloh. History is absolutely fascinating.
Since I first saw the guy in that movie about he and his father in prison, I thought wow this guy is outstanding, now after There Will Blood and This here, my goodness this guy is right there with Brando, as an actor. I never thought I would ever say that about anyone. Wow, Daniel Day Lewis is outstanding.
My husband and I saw this film the night before the Academy Awards. It was extraordinary and left us speechless. It also makes me wonder how Lincoln would react to the last 4 years of disgrace we’ve lived through. Our democracy is so fragile.
We can only put down our heads in shame (Mr. Trump). The office of president must be occupied by a person of absolute integrity, honesty and deep commitment to the values of the (entire) nation they govern.
President Lincoln was the epitome of leadership, no he did not fight in a singular battle, his words and spirituality was at every skirmish and battle. The future of our country rests upon his shoulders. Once he had Grant at the helm, I feel a portion of that great weight was taken from His shoulders, knowing Grant could lead the military to sure victory. What we need now is a leader to emerge that will decide with equity and fairness to ALL. To decide what this most grand country will do in our future. We can not allow the lives and sacrifices that we're Lain upon the alter of freedom to be put asunder by petty issues. I was an American fighting soldier, my blood stained the lands of 3 different countries, but I still came back more of a citizen and man when I stepped foot back into this free and prosperous country. Let us step forward together for the good of all of us and not be so divided. Other countries look towards the United States as a lighthouse to guide humanity in what is best for the people of the planet we call earth.
~" Daniel Day~Lewis Is Exquisitely Extraordinary In This Fine Work Of Art That We All Loved And Enjoyed So Very Much. Daniel Day Lewis Work Will Always Florish.

Powerful Art 🖼 DDL is so genius He seems to be a Mystic who invites souls to inhabit him Sally Field is a powerhouse in her own right Her ferocity is staggering
I studied history and literature at VCU in Richmond, Virginia and lived there for the years and no city has the ghosts and aura of the Civil War and the time of Lincoln and Jefferson Davis and the old South like Richmond....a hauntingly beautiful city...i.miss it.
I loved the movie but my only critism was that everyone treated him like the legendary figure he is today. Usually people become legenday figures after they're dead or certainly years after the events. I'm not convinced he'd have been seen like that at the time by the people around him..
Lincoln was disliked by a majority of Americans on both sides during the Civil war. He got less than 40% of the vote in 1860 and only 55% in the Union states in 1864. The war killed 1 in 10 adults and millions more were crippled and malnourished and property losses were unimaginable. It would be impossible for anyone to have made a bigger mess of things.
Epic, Epic piece. I'm from Virginia. Her beauty is unmatched by any state, any country on earth. I thank the lord that I'm a free man living in this country. I just hope and pray Biden/Harris doesn't destroy her.
Arguably a fascinating story to tell - if not just as good as DKG book - would be Ted Widmer's "Lincoln on the Verge." Magnificent storytelling with a fresh angle on the ever fascinating Lincoln pre-presidency..
👩🏻💻I have watched this brilliant movie a dozen times or more. Each time I learn something new and how important all the events of the American Civil War were to the United States today. I feel a spiritual kinship to those who worked and sacrificed to be true to the Founding Fathers and their vision, 88 years previous. This movie makes it important to be loyal and true for all people to experience the freedoms and liberties necessary for a provident life, and the United States being that example and provider of such God given and protected blessings and opportunities for everyone on this Earth. Much love and peace. 🙋♀️🪔🌠🐞🥰&♎🇺🇲🇬🇧

He also played Abraham Lincoln in North and South.

This is one of the most brilliant movies I've ever seen. Daniel Day-Lewis is a miracle - and so is Steven Spielberg.
Also there will be blood brilliant acting

Lincoln the movie is an absolute masterpiece. I always wondered what Lincoln's voice sounded like and Daniel Day Lewis's version seems spot on. There are times when Lincoln yells, talks softly, and talks softly yet sternly and Daniel nails it.
Yes, I agree, the voice makes it perfect. I imagine that Daniel Day Lewis has some psychic connection to the afterlife and was able to just channel Lincoln :) Lol! Physically aswell, the walk, identical to accounts of how Lincoln was
But you have no idea
I was on a tour in Springfield IL. We were told that Daniel Day-Lewis came to the Old State House in Springfield, where Lincoln had spoken many time, and practiced the voice in that setting.
I gotta say that, whilst I wasn’t alive in the 19th century, Abraham Lincoln’s impression of Daniel Day-Lewis is remarkable.
Lol
Lol
Why do I never think of good jokes like that 👍👌
It was not impression.. It was interpretation
You weren't alive in the 19th century. Wow, you missed out on a lot.
DDL was Lincoln. The essence of the man was captured in a most wonderful way. What an astounding film!!🇺🇸
Daniel Day-Lewis is a masterpiece of an actor, how I wish he could do more movies.
I miss him so much
We are fortunate to be around the same time as Daniel Day Lewis.
We're fortunate to be around the same time as Tommy Lee Jones.

Couple years ago I was driving and had a cardiac arrest.

I had an ICU room with a window to the street so a VIP room for sure.
Then she asked if I knew how long I had been here. I'm like.... no idea.
If you have an out of hospital cardiac arrest its a 6% chance of survival.
And a coma for longer than a week is 2% chance of recovery.

It was not his typical subject matter and setting but his performance was something to behold. It remains a totally inspiring film which I will view many more times in my life.
Completely agree.
Maybe it was because there already was a starring actor with 3 names ... And the title of the movie, well ... is Lincoln, not Stephens.
Just sayin'
it seems like once Daniel Day-Lewis is on board you already have a very good movie no matter what else is going on - then you just have to do the work to make it a great movie cause Daniel is already there waiting for you.
He is so good you don't cast him you cast movie built on his acting! Lol
No.... It's not... Watch seven...
It's a Classic, perfect no mistakes, I'd loved to have seen the movie in a theater with a full screen.
This Movie was so VERY well done from Top to bottom...Large Cast was Great...And when Daniel Day Lewis is in the Middle of all of it The Movie becomes a Masterpiece...His role as Lincoln was absolutely RIVETING!!!...1 of the Greatest Performances i have ever witnessed
It's number two for me right after Heath Ledger as the Joker. He'll might even be number one
DDL is an absolute force. His acting is beautiful, he has to be one of the greatest actors to ever life. Incredible actor on a different level to anyone I’ve ever seen.
Hal Holbrook was absolutely amazing as Lincoln in the miniseries North and South, Book II!

Score running behind is miraculous, it really gives a sense of being there with utmost delight
I think this movie is the greatest piece of art that has ever been produced on American soil.
Forrest Gump, Shawshank Redemption and 12 Angry men, just to mention some.
There are others, but it is definitely "up there".
Probably the closest we'll ever get to the real man. Masterpiece.
As a Richmond native, I watched this hoping to maybe see a shot or two of my city, or hear one mention of a local spot...but they did a full 5 minutes on it! Pretty cool to see that.

20 times for me, 21 coming soon
That is one of the best movies I watch in this movie they bring Lincoln alive to respect all of the things he did in life .
I think this movie is the perfect one to watch on Lincoln's birthday, in honor of him. Does anyone agree?

Best Spielberg movie since Saving Private Ryan
Thank you so much for posting this, and giving us a fuller sense of what transpired, and the history of it all.
Lincoln was the definition of a screenplay, in that it is a play in movie form. It is a masterpiece.
This film and Bridge of Spies might be the last great pictures by Steven. His 2010 filmography hasn't been exactly the most stellar where other decades he was on all cylinders, but this movie was that occasion where his passion with the camera to focus on performances that really came through.

Until such time when a time machine might be possible , Brian Williams music carried us back , in spirit and time .. 👣👣👣🇬🇧🇬🇧
This movie was sooo good I think someone should make a series out of Lincoln!
I dt think they should because they won't have dan day Lewis... And without him... Everything will feel watered down...
In this video, when you have a director like STEPHEN SPIELBERG you can't go wrong and I enjoy watching his films and what I understand he is making another film
Im a real history buff man and i'm telling ya - the only guy that gets me stupidly emotional is Lincoln.
