| Posted: 09 Nov 2012 01:59 AM PST Lincoln – It seems appropriate that Steven Spielberg's latest film, which is about Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, is released in that country a week after the presidential election. Meanwhile, Lincoln is only getting released in Malaysia on Feb 21, 2013, a time when actor Daniel Day-Lewis will surely be named Best Actor at the Oscars. Yes, one can come to this conclusion just by watching the almost-three-minute trailer. Based on Doris Kearns Goodwin's bestseller Team Of Rivals: The Political Genius Of Abraham Lincoln, the film focuses on the final four months of Lincoln's life as he fights for the passage of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution (abolishing slavery) and to end the Civil War. Spielberg creates every piece of that historical moment with the right look and by recruiting an impressive cast that includes Sally Field, Tommy Lee Jones (the wig on Jones looks weird, though), Joseph Gordon-Levitt and David Strathairn. |
