I chose to do my paper on Lincoln because I just thought the movie would be interesting. The movie is pretty much about Lincoln's last four months of his live. He is trying to end the civil war as soon as possible in order to decrease the heavy casualties that already exist and he is trying to pass the 13th amendment.
This movie is more than just a history of Lincoln, it really gives the viewer a first person point of view that Lincoln had during his life. The troubles he had to overcome and try to make everyone happy.
In my opinion I enjoyed this movie for a few reasons. I like to watch war movies and Lincoln is a great one to watch. Initially when I watch it I thought the acting cast did a great job portraying their characters especially Lincoln. Daniel Day-Lewis looked almost like Lincoln, which was great to watch. Last but not least I like to learn about history and watching this movie made me realize what Lincoln went through. It is almost as I have experienced it first hand. Awesome movie!
