Spielberg has lost his touch. I will obviously give this film a chance but I'm not expecting much outside of DDL delivering as he always does.

You know damn well if this was another film about Jews and their struggle that Spielberg wouldn't be so quick to leave out historical facts.

This movie isn't about slavery, it's about Abraham Lincoln....just so we're clear.

Also, no one has seen this yet, so maybe save the indignation until you know what's actually in the movie.

Also, Amistad?

I'll check it out.
Nothing else to look forward to other than WIR, TH part 1, TMWIF, Flight (:myman:), Skyfall, & Django Unchained.

Nope, there were white men during that era that were not racist (see abolitionists). Don't cuban b that shyt.

I do give him respect for freeing the slaves, but at the same damn time it's with a side-eye. Just being honest bruh.

you dont know that those men didnt think blacks were inferior too

My history teacher in middle school kept it real with us. We were taught that Lincoln freeing the slaves didn't have much to do with doing the right thing or bullshyt platitudes like that. But dude was just making the right tactical/political moves to crush the confederates and reunite the Union.

shyt was still pretty radical & he couldn't have been a snarling rabid dog racist to take that action. Just an avg Cac I suppose. He had slaves, he just wasn't the type to be lynching nikkas and taking part in other reprehensible Cac behavior.

pass... looks like a cac feel good flick. Maybe if they portrayed Lincoln as the racist a$$hole he was then I would see it.

I predict another Oscar nomination for DDL. He looks just like Lincoln in the pictures i have seen and u know he gonna give a hell of a performance.

There IS no such thing as owning slaves and NOT being a snarling rabid racist. They are one and the same. Lincoln is on record as writing about his belief that the black race was inferior and could never be equal to whites. The man was just as racist and deplorable a CAC as any Klan member, his only reasons for freeing slaves was as you said, to crush the South's economy and reunite the Union. He said as mush himself that if he could've reunited the Union without freeing ONE slave he would've done so.

Trailer is awful. This looks like a bloated mess. Daniel Day Lewis is fukking up here. Spielberg hasn't made a good film since Munch, he lost his touch.

I saw the first 30 minutes of War Horse. What the fukk was that :mindblown:

I saw it tonight.


Daniel Day Lewis and Tommy Lee Jones :wow:

two great performances. They stood out in this film. Was very hollywood-sy to me. Way too cheesy at times. THe dialogue was heavy too.

Didnt suck, but I dont think its Oscar Worthy. 3/5

Daniel Day Lewis was brill, but I feel Tommy Lee Jones has a better Oscar case.

James Spader was really good too.

Sally Fields annoyed me, altho I get it cuz her thats how Mary Lincoln was.

Also, Thaddeus Stevens :salute:

I have no idea what to expect from this

Honestly, REALLY looking forward to Hawkes' and Spader's roles though :manny:
