Description |
|
Abraham Lincoln remains on of the most enigmatic and influential personages in history. Young Abraham Lincoln refuses to be constrained to a country-yokel existence in his native Springfield, Illinois. His vision of a higher calling is actively supported by his lady love, Ann Rutledge Lincoln’s success as a lawyer brings him to the notice of political kingmakers as a candidate for the Presidency. Personal tragedy strikes when Ann passes away – he marries the eccentric Mary Todd. Attaining the Presidency, Lincoln finds himself required to take a stand on segregation issues, his historical decision to free Southern slaves catalyzes the infamous Civil War. Compelling scenes of personal doubt – and victory over it – lead up to final victory…and the emancipation of the Western world from slavery. However, bigoted political detractors, headed by John Wilkes Booth take a drastically different viewpoint of this development... |

"After watching this classic rendition of Abraham Lincoln's most important years (Abraham Lincoln from A2ZCDS), I know for sure that such a life has not been before and will not be again. He WAS a man - a real man who felt love, joy, despair and hurt just like you and I do. This is more than a historical film - this is an immortal tribute to this country's greatest statesman..." |

Not A Documentary |
I've ordered a few things from this company and most of them were historical documentaries so I sorta thought that this would be as well.
It's not - but that's not a bad thing. It's a work of historical fiction and its fairly well done. You get to see an interesting fictional interpretation of Lincoln - without a l ot of modern narative baggage.
The film is older - and looks it - but in some ways that adds to it's charm.
This is like the original version of the History Channel. |
