      Joseph Mauricio Flores well they didn’t have the tech to record voices then. But by all accounts, his voice was raspy and high pitched, which is what DDL went for in this film

      @@scottishjedi1522 it's really a shame... Voice recording was invented in 1877. only 12 years after Lincoln's demise. Had he not been murdered, we would have known his voice. But Isn't there any impersonation of his voice that lived untill the late 19th century?

      The Crossing with Jeff Daniels as Washington was pretty good. Wasn’t a masterpiece, but really did a good job in showing us what made Washington a good military leader. How he kept his small rag-tagged army together through the thickest of hard conditions. Washington wasn’t a good tactician, but he was a good leader in keeping the fighting spirit for the American cause.

      Too many things that are connected to every story you can tell about that Era. Thomas Jefferson would be interesting...then again you'd get a lot of heat portraying him in a good light since he owned slaves. Well, Washington did too.

    Daniel Day-Lewis brought a real humanity to Lincoln. Many times, when an actor portrays an admired leader from history, they tend to imbue the role with so much heroic posturing that the character becomes more of a myth than representing a real flesh and blood human being. Kudos to Lewis for really showing the vulnerable, flawed and all too human side Lincoln. He definitely deserves an Oscar nomination for his performance in this film.

    I think my favorite line during the voting scene is when George Yeaman whispers "My vote ties us." and then they say "I am sorry Mr. Yeaman. How do you vote?" and he stands up and says "I said Aye Mr. McPherson, AYE." A little over the top but I love it.

    One thing that blew me away that gets overshadowed by the acting and the cast and the direction and all that is the costumes, sets, and lighting. It's so absolutely perfect. It genuinely feels like looking back in time, they get the clothing and makeup so accurate it's nuts, and you very rarely feel like you are looking at a set that is being lit by period-inappropriate lighting.

    Hey Jeremy, I just wanna say that you should keep on giving "awesometatcular"s as long as you feel it fits. I mean 2012 just IS an amazing year of movies. Not giving an honest rating for the sake of having "too many films, that are awesometacular" would be kinda weird. Just stay true to your own opinion. Love the vids, you're always my No.1 go-to guy (or channel) when I check my youtube upload news. Keep it up.

    Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.... It was also the only presidential movie I've seen.

    i'm a huge fan of President Lincoln and this movie was my absolute dream. Spielberg did such a good job on this
