Talk about how good Lincoln was everyone.
Oh man at the end my feeeeeels 
Yes, it's a hundred year old spoiler but it was still depressing as hell.

Genuine spoilers
Loved that shit
What movie will go up against this at the Oscars next year?
confirm/deny
He kills, like, 30 Hitlers.
You aren't aware of the alternate timelines thing?
look at dave chappelle
he just a baby
It's a shame all those people had to die, but you can really see the weight in his eyes about going to war.
Before seeing this, I had never personally witnessed a movie viewing at a theater that concluded with a standing ovation from the audience. This movie brought everybody in my packed theater to their feet at the end credits. It was a beautiful moment.

FUCK, I LOVE TIME LINCOLN.
The 0 on his left ear looks like a hoop earring. Lincoln went around time and he got faaaaabulous.
you're shitting me here?
a movie is made to entertain people?
well I never
that's it
it was not about emancipation as a whole, or the climate in DC, or the accomplishments of african americans during the bellum period
it was completely about the 13th amendment in the house
Is this a legit criticism of the article? That she identified that the movie emphasized narrative themes over facts? You know not all movies are like that, right?
yes they are called documentaries
gonna go on a limb and say not too many people understand that lincoln straight up bought votes and artificially prolonged the war
At least a few of the suggestions made in the article seem directly related to that, others definitely didn't, but some did. Hypothetical scenes aside, her point seems to be that a hyper-narrow focus on Lincoln himself seems to exclude necessarily attendant factors in the development of the 13th Amendment. And the movie plot does seem to extend past the 13th passing the house by several months.
Anyway, I can't comment on all of her points, since I haven't seen it yet. I just linked it as illustrative of my general concerns about Spielberg's directing style and Lincoln's image as a messianic figure.
I think you're reading that sentence totally differently than I am. I think the crux of it is the word, "more."
you need to see it then
her points are all completely unrepresentative of what the movie actually was about
it's tantamount to complaining that saving private ryan did not properly illustrate the efforts put forth by the jewish resistance in the ghettos, it's historically accurate but completely ancillary to the intent of the movie
on the spiielberg directing style I agree though, and there were some very speilberg moments, but it was overall excellent
and he does not pull punches with the questionable and downright illegal shit lincoln does
Lincoln lives happily ever after, right?
WHY WOULDN'T YOU SPOILER THAT, JERK
Hmm...
I may go towards the master thespian Daniel Day-Lewis with this one.
Joanne K.Rowling in my skin
You payed money for it???
