Lincoln is great story telling

This movie was 2-1/2 hrs.
It didn't seem that long, especially for a movie that has zero action.
It is all dialogue and telling a story.
It's been a awhile since a saw a movie that was just pure dialogue -- you know what is going to happen, you know the outcome before the movie starts. ( he is killed ;-)
And yet it still entertained me for almost 3hrs.
Some of the best acting you will ever watch.
I predict an Oscar nomination for both Daniel Day Lewis and Tommy Lee Jones, both were outstanding
Also, for some comic relief James Spader was great too.
It is a movie that also is relevant to today's politics and how things are done still to this day.
How far removed has the Republican and Democratic parties moved from their origins.
It's like they have flipped. Watch it and see how it can compare to dealing into today's world.
We have come far as a nation, but far enough in100yrs?
I think not.

I will predict it gets Oscar buzz, so see it for sure. But no need to see on the big screen
I will give it a 8.8 out of 10
( this was written 11/26)
