This is the director that brought us Schindlers list. I expected atleast a little better. Grandpa Lincoln is cheesy, the movie is another very historically inaccurate Civil War all about slavory only movie, straw arguments which is disrepectful to those who died. In history Lincoln is not the patron saint of antislavery as hollywood depicts atleast if you actually do your homework. Also they literally emphasise liberal good guy and conservative bad guy. Also why is Frederick Douglass never in these movies.

It's historical as far as you have historic figures. That's about it. I had to fight from falling asleep through long rambling dialog. Shows how the bar of entertainment has dropped. This was just an overhyped movie that has way too many people saying it was good then everyone else follows like lemmings (see ID4)

Inaccurate lincoln hated black people and wanted to exile them from the country. The war was never about freedom it was a dispute of social maltreatment and oppression of the souths economic growth. Contrary to common belief southern slave owners offered most of their slaves freedom from social and finacial oppression in return for fighting the north. The north at the time believed segregating the economy and social classes was effecient and would leave the country as a whole stronger under the belief united we stand stronger(it was effecient so they weren't wrong logically)
