Lincoln movie.
Just seen the Lincoln movie. Some good acting performances and some dodgy wigs. A movie I probably wouldn't go out of my way to see again.

I need to watch this one as well. I'm a sincere fan of Mr. Daniel Day-Lewis.
|
I'm torn. Daniel Day Lewis is a brilliant actor, but Spielberg's offerings in the last few years have been terminally dull!

Can't wait to see how DDL carries Lincoln on his shoulders. |

Just watch it for the sake of DDL. Watching him act is such a powerful experience. Did you See There Will Be Blood? Film alone wouldn't have been the film it was, without DDL. He absolutely nailed it with his performance. Mind you, Paul Dano was also very compelling as a 'false prophet' in that. Anyway, enough about an old film.
He acted DeCaprio off the screen in Gangs of New York too.... a rare mistake by Scorcese in my opinion as the gulf between them in ability was huge at the time. |
Does DDL speak in this film, because in 'My Left Foot' he seemed to struggle a bit.

DDL seems like a dencent guy in real life, too. On his rare de-roled appearences, he deceivingly looks somewhat rough around the edges, but soon you discover that he's intelligent, polite a very well-spoken guy. Not publicity hungry either. All-rounder, really. |
I'm sorry but I cant stop thinking about the Simpsons every time I hear Lincoln speak. Kind of ruins it for me.
Good for Mr Burns though. |

No, he doesn't speak, he uses sign language but don't worry there are subtitles.

I saw it last month. Its one of those film you'll either love it or it will bore you to death.
I thought it had "Oscar" written all over it. It had very strong performances by all the principal cast. |
No body actually interested in history then?
|
Superb film,depending on taste,don't go to watch it expecting expendables 2,lots of American history in this film and a different view of honest abe,a very enjoyable flick.

My history teacher from school was hopeless. He was not pretentious or anything for his encyclopaedic knowledge, but he was one tiresome, sesquipedalian orator and a total failure to keep his audience interested. That teacher made history unbearable and most boring for us. I’m hoping that Spielberg doesn’t repeat that history for me. I’ll decide for myself when I see it. |
i saw Django Unchained on Friday night
and really enjoyed it --- (and I have not enjoyed a film for years) |
Some good films on atm including Django Unchained.
DDL said today on Andrew Marr's show that he's unsure about winning the Oscar for best actor due to massive competition with some other deserving nomeniees. He's easy with that, and I look forward to see all other nominees' films when I can. The new one I want to see is Trance. I think it's due on March. Let's see what Boyle has done there. |
