How Is Lincoln Related To The Movie

All though it was very dry at times, and could easily be classified as a uninteresting political movie about America’s most important historical moments, I enjoyed the film overall. Instead of focusing the movie on the life of Abraham Lincoln, it does focus on his passionate leadership in the final four months of his presidency. I soon began to sweat and clench my fists as the month of January continued in the movie, time crunching down and down as the Republican agents tried to gain more and more Democratic favor on the passing of the amendment. It felt like a fast-paced, parkour chase. I felt Lincoln wasn’t completely politically minded, constantly telling stories to many men and women who he comes in contact with, seeming humble and wise, always trying to give perspective with the moral of the story.

The movie I watched is Lincoln. This movie is about President Abraham Lincoln’s struggles to free all slaves permanently before the Civil War ended. The movie is set in 1865, just after Lincoln was reelected. Lincoln is faced with a moral dilemma. His goal is to pass the amendment to ban slavery forever, but if the war ends before he can do this he’ll never get the opportunity. As he pushes to get the votes he needs to secure the bills passing a peace offer is brought forth by the Confederates. Lincoln must now decide to either end the war now and save thousands of lives or to delay the end of the war and have the chance to save not only current lives but also future lives from a life of slavery.

To me a leader needs to be responsible to be able to successfully complete their duties. The leader needs to take the initiative to get things done. They shouldn’t wait around to be told what to do. A leader needs to understand that being a leader means being responsible for your team’s actions, not just your

Abraham Lincoln is by far our most revered president in the history of the United States. He had a strong moral vision of where his country must go to preserve and enlarge the rights of all her people, but he was also a good man with a strong sense of character and a great discipline in the art of law; and he sought to continue the great and mighty legacy of the Constitution. He believed that the Founding Fathers had drawn up the Constitution without the mention of slavery because they felt that it would later die of a natural death. He would soon learn that that would not be the case.

A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by quality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.

Despite the historical accuracy of the film, Lincoln did contain some mistakes. First off, Daniel-Day Lewis portrayed his character very well; He was tall and lanky, spoke calmly, and told many stories, which is true of Abraham Lincoln. As shown in the movie, there was a great deal going on in the country. Lincoln and his supporters were planning and advocating for the 13th amendment and trying to gain more supporters. Also true was the fact that Confederate officials were heading North to make peace negotiations. But in reality, discussion of the 13th amendment and peace occurred at the same time. The movie shows Lincoln would not commence with peace negotiations until the amendment passed Congress. Liberties in the director’s production are few, though. For example, the movie made no mention of the influence African Americans had in advocating for Black rights. Instead, African American characters in Lincoln were limited to domestic jobs. In addition, Mary Lincoln was not at the final voting with the House of Representatives. Despite these very few inaccuracies, Lincoln was an extremely informative film. After watching, the viewer will have a better understanding of President Lincoln’s experience in advocating for the abolishment of slavery and the process of passing the 13th amendment. The film presented a lot of information and had many characters which created confusion at times. It was, at times, difficult to distinguish between characters and their names, political affiliations, significance, and viewpoint. That aside, the characters were interesting and effective in portraying political figures of the 17th century. Any boredom experienced in the beginning of the movie was quickly pushed aside as arguments thickened and the story progressed. Altogether, Spielberg produced a successful blend of information and opinion to

One of the most significant conflicts in the film Lincoln is deciding between peace and passing the thirteenth amendment. For this reason, getting the votes on the amendment to pass is difficult because others think if we let this amendment pass the war will not end. With the Civil War going on year four and the union struggling to keep together, Lincoln decides to try and pass the thirteenth amendment and receive support from the House of Representatives. The thirteenth amendment is the abolishment of slavery and involuntary servitude. Lincoln says that the key to peace is passing this amendment. The only person who truly believes in Lincoln’s vision is Thaddeus Stevens, who was a republican. Stevens did not see eye to eye with Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln is by far our most revered president in the history of the United States. He had a strong moral vision of where his country must go to preserve and enlarge the rights of all her people, but he was also a good man with a strong sense of character and a great discipline in the art of law; and he sought to continue the great and mighty legacy of the Constitution. He believed that the Founding Fathers had drawn up the Constitution without the mention of slavery because they felt that it would later die of a natural death. He would soon learn that that would not be the case.

At the beginning of the movie we see Lincoln talking to two African Americans who served in the war, and they went on to say that they loved his speech and one of them even quoted the end of his speech. This movie shows us how much we need rescuing. According to Spielberg, Lincoln and his contemporaries debated the moral merits of ending slavery now or ending the war now. Lincoln was gaining and losing votes. People are looking at it as this: if African Americans are given rights then women are next and people do not want that. A man had said that if we give African Americans the freedom then they are going to want more. Lincoln does not know that there are bribes being made in order to get 20 votes from the representatives. Lincoln is

I believe that the qualities of a great leader must have are that, at first they must be generous, must give people equal rights, and knowing the right decision, generosity is important because you have to be giving to their followers. Giving Equal rights is important because equal rights wouldn't be too happy so they might no longer be rooting for them. Finally they must be willing to be a leader, and by that I mean that they have to have wisdom, and mean what they say, because many people will say that they will solve problems, but a leader can't be great by just speaking, they must take action.

One of the main points the movie Lincoln discusses is the 13th amendment and the war leading up to it, as well as all the behind the scenes' action that needed to take place in order for the amendment to be passed. The movie Lincoln gave me a new perspective on Lincoln's presidency as well as his personal life. It is easy to forget that people with a lot of power or fame are still humans with families and feelings. The movie helped show how much grief Lincoln and his wife had over their deceased son who had passed away. It helped me remember that even though Lincoln was a president and responsible for the whole country, he was first and foremost responsible for his family. Lincoln's character in the movie, which was played by Daniel

In this film, Steven Spielberg portrays Abraham Lincoln like a great master of charisma and elegant manners, a mankind with the inherent leader’s stratagem of making others wishing to gladden him. According to the plot, he speaks in an unpredictably easy and clear voice, using a specific language that in some parts reveals his humble personality and influence of his upbringing, that is nevertheless passing into the monologue of an elder person, who is fatigued by war and personal issues. This film describes President Lincoln as an individual lacked social success, but who had substantial acquaintance and intelligence of human nature. Moreover, film focuses on the last several months of Abraham Lincoln’s life, including all the important events as the passage of the 13th Amendment

Three years ago, in Washington D.C I was astonished seeing Abraham Lincoln sitting in his throne looking down at me as I entered his presence. He was huge, but not frightening, though in the film he was tall, but his presence frighten many Democrats and Republicans. In Lincoln, he enforced the 13th Amendment to pass in the House of Representatives which became part of the United States Constitution. He believed this amendment would end the war and slavery which was critical to bring good to American society. In Lincoln, the first scene was the battle of Jenkins Ferry happening between white Confederate soldiers versus a battalion of black Union soldiers. This scene was gory, but a valiant fight the Union of the 2nd Kansas colored regiment sacrificed to support the Union and all of its African Americans whom believed freedom is naturally given and it is their right to fight and protect

The movie Lincoln is an American historic film, made in 2012, that covers the final four months of Lincoln’s life in politics. This movie was highly relatable to what we have been learning and class. The movie contains instructional value, not only in history, but also in general politics. It shows the art of presidency along with the practice of politics. Although Lincoln does a great job of portraying history, it is not one hundred percent accurate.
