Django Unchained, Lincoln, and the Use of History | Film and Media
https://filmandmedia.net/2013/01/16/django-unchained-lincoln-and-the-use-of-history
A Blog on the Reading, Writing, and Theory of Movies, Television, and Social Media. Django Unchained, Lincoln, and the Use of History. This January, it is common to find film critics such as this rather witty one. Comparing two new and somewhat controversial films, Quentin Tarantino’s. And Stephen Spielberg’s. Or to respond to a sentiment I often hear from students sometimes about watching movies just for “enjoyment” and not for any deeper meaning, why is history enjoyable? The Legend of Nigger Charley.

Awfuls and Pannycakes: November 2012
http://awfulsandpannycakes.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Better parenting through breakfast. Thursday, November 29, 2012. Hardtack and Johnny Cakes. While I haven't seen the movie yet, I suppose there is a lot to be learned from Daniel Day-Lewis' portrayal of Abraham Lincoln. It appears that there is even more to be learned from a Civil War Thanksgiving and a room full of wired, rowdy little boys. Several weeks ago, we took our Cub Scout troop to the local Texas Civil War Museum. Some men write about Badges of Courage. I write about waffles. Between the buildi...

Envoyer à un ami. Des états d'âme. et des sourires. J'ai vu Lincoln, et j'ai pleuré! Le film " Lincoln. Est ABSOLUMENT à voir! Le film raconte les derniers mois de la vie d'Abraham Lincoln, 16e président des États-Unis, assassiné en 1865, et surtout de son combat pour faire passer le13eme amendement de la Constitution, qui mit fin à l'esclavage dans tout le pays, avant la fin de la guerre de Sécession*". Sinon ce que j'en retiens aussi, et c'est encore plus triste et terrifiant, c'est qu'aucun grand chan...

Glass House Reviews: November 2012
http://www.glasshousereviews.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 21, 2012. Exquisitely acted and strongly written, Steven Spielberg's " Lincoln. Sets out to disprove the notion that explosions and nudity are required to keep a modern audience interested. This it accomplishes, and much more. The pacing is admirable. The time in the theater is never a factor, despite the truth that it is a long movie. The obvious anticlimax is somewhat avoided, although many will see the wrapping up as influenced by the recent trend of multiple endings such a...On Gl...

@NYTimesDowd: Missing the Details -v- Missing The Point – Cohesion Arts

NYTimesDowd: Missing the Details -v- Missing The Point. February 18, 2013. So at least Maureen Dowd agrees with me. That things get dicey when Hollywood justifies rearranging established facts with the rationale that fact-twisting serves some auteur’s artistic purpose. In her column in Sunday’s New York Times,. Ms Dowd takes screenwriter Tony Kushner and Director Stephen Spielberg to task for their version of the vote on the 13th Amendment in their movie. Which the various filmmakers all rationalize as w...
