History buff so I really wanted to see it. Also political do to my right wing parents that tend to watch what goes on it the country This movie is about Abraham Lincoln (obviously) and the ratification of the 13th Amendment which to you non-Americans is the Bill to banish slavery basically. This takes place within the US Civil War near the ending. In goes into who Lincoln was. I am a History buff. I love the stuff and take many classes to increase my knowledge. I will not give my thoughts on how I feel of the 16th President, however the movie did an excellent job of showing who the man was. It is 95% accurate to what the books say. Now, this does have some comedy and isn't just a boring History Channel movie, however you will have to have a higher vocabulary to understand some of the jokes. The movie gets a 4.5/5 stars from me personally. It had some places where one would just begin to slowly dull off but that is most politics.
