Movie Review: Lincoln

Daniel Day-Lewis in “Lincoln”

Hollywood director Steven Spielberg‘s movie Lincoln narrates the last 4 months of the life of Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of United States of America, starring Daniel Day-Lewis as Lincoln, Sally Field as his wife Mary Todd Lincoln, Tommy Lee Jones as Radical Republican Congressional leader Thaddeus Stevens and David Strathairn as Secretary of State William H. Seward. It is his most ambitious venture into history since Schindler’s List (1993).
