I loved this movie, and I guess it brings to light that the current political climate of hatred is nothing new. But it saddens me that this is so. I find it frustrating that we've come such a short way down the path for equality from Lincoln's vision. This movie was beautifully directed and highlights the important thoughts and vision of President Lincoln and those that were fighting for equality. I am so glad they didn't over do it the scenes that most movie makers feel are necessary to keep an audience's attention, like unnecessary special effects and excessive violent and fast paced scenes. This is a wonderful movie for the ages.
