Lincoln

This weekend I decided to do something I haven't done for some time - go to a movie.

I've heard a lot about Lincoln and thought that would be the best one this time.

It was wonderful!  I thought I knew a bit about Lincoln - but there was more to learn.  Additionally, it was fascinating to see the "behind the scenes" work on the 13th Amendment.

Daniel Day Lewis was wonderful as were Tommy Lee Jones and Sally Field.  I'm looking forward to seeing how many awards this movie wins.

PS IMHO this should be mandatory viewing for all high school students - it may be fiction but there was definitely something to learn and it might just spark the desire to find out more information!
