You are a leaf that doesn’t know it is part of a tree…said Michael Crichton, and that’s much how I felt having watched Lincoln last night – wanting to see for myself what all the fuss was about, prior to The Oscars.
I was horribly confused by Democrats and Republicans in that film. I was sure in my own mind, based on following current affairs, that it would have been the Democrats that were the Abolitionists, not the Republicans. More study required…
Spot the real Lincoln…Daniel Day Lewis was simply mind-blowingly incredible in the role (and I tried very hard not to be swept along by the hype – but it was impossible not to be in total awe.)
