"As the Civil War continues to rage, America's president struggles with continuing carnage on the battlefield and as he fights with many inside his own cabinet on the decision to emancipate the slaves."
COMMENT: When I saw the official movie trailer I thought Lincoln was full of good intentions, but it lacked something, but I just found the Presidential Debate TV Spot just "inspiring" in a way that just made me want to see the movie. We have more Daniel Day-Lewis & Sally Field this time and maybe it's their interaction that made the tv spot so appealing to me. Today, I truly believe in Lincoln's Best Picture potential (I've been cautious about placing this biopic in my Academy Awards 2013 nominees predictions). More than just a biopic, it promises to be a life-lesson about human rights and maybe Steven Spielberg's first big love letter to "being an human being" since Schindler's List. Day-Lewis just promises to be as great as he always is (Nine doesn't count). I believe I'll give Lincoln a chance!
