      <![CDATA[AWFUL analysis, although the characterization of the scene addressing the Gettysburg Address is apt.<br>
<br>
I, for one, am relieved the film sidestepped most of the gaggy trappings of forensic pseudo-psychology, the insufferable id-hunt, of this man.  Seriously, aren't we all tired of the standard formula Just-So analyses of the supposed daddy issues and other such repressions? Isn't there room in film today to present such a compelling story of a democratically elected leader's challenges, intuition, and skill wielding his quite limited government powers to accomplish sweeping change?

You are wrong.<br>
Lincoln is a powerful and entertaining movie. Also, educational.<br>
Powerful is the best word.<br>

      <![CDATA[You precisely captured my feelings with your description of the prologue as "embarrassing in it's heavy-handedness". Indeed, Sally Field's performance was more shrill and obnoxious than realistically mentally ill.<br>

Predictably, most of the abolitionists, including Lincoln, came off as a little too like-able.

What keeps the tedious film from being engaging is the unanswered question of what the hell was the civil war about if half of the Union was against abolishing slavery.
