Lincoln-Politics,Lobbyists and Abolitionists


If you like the back-room antics of lobbyists and wheeling-dealing and hard dialogue, perhaps you may like Steven Spielberg's movie about the hey-days of Abraham Lincoln in his second term fighting for the end oft slavery, the Civil War and the family drama within the White House.

Surveying the Carnage of War
Do not expect any excitement per se as it does follow close to script about Abraham Lincoln; how he won the Congress's vote to end slavery and his death at the Ford Theater.

It is a long  movie of  150 minutes; so be prepared for the long haul.

Cabinet Meeting at the White House
Nominated for 12 Academy Awards, it is piped to take the lion-share of the statuettes this time around.
