Lincoln (2012)
Director: Steven Spielberg
Cast: Daniel Day Lewis, Sally Field, Tommy Lee Jones
There are many possible aspects of Abraham Lincoln's life as president of the United States of America that can be shown on film, but Spielberg, in this film, opts to focus on Lincoln's fight for the abolition of slavery and dealing with the carnage of the civil war. Of course, there may be some details in the film which may not be found on history books. The writers may have extensively researched for such details.

Lincoln is a well-written and, as a film, a well-directed, biopic. Daniel Day Lewis completely disappears in Lincoln, a hallmark of a great actor. And for this, a third Academy Award may already be in the bag. He previously won for My Left Foot (1989) and There Will Be Blood (2007). Other notable performances in this film are those of Sally Field's and Tommy Lee Jones'.
