Tommy Lee Jones is Thaddeus Stevens in Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln."
La winner of the Dallas Critics AwardsAmong many other awards and nominations, 'Lincoln' premiered on January 18 in Spain and since then has topped our billboard. The movie is Directed by Steven Spielberg and from a screenplay by Tony Kushner, John Logan and Paul Webb, inspired by the book "Team of rivals: The political genius of Abraham Lincoln" by Doris Kearns Goodwin.
The cast of 'Lincoln' is made up of Daniel Day-Lewis (in the role of Abraham Lincoln), Tommy Lee Jones (ThaddeusStevens), Sally field (Mary Todd Lincoln) Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Robert Lincoln), David Strathairn (William H. Seward), Tim Blake Nelson (Richard Schell), James Spader (WN Bilbo), Lee Pace (Fernando Wood), Jackie Earle Haley (Alexander Stephens), Hal Holbrook (Preston Blair) , John Hawkes (Robert Latham), Bruce McGill (Edwin Stanton), Jared Harris (General Ulysses Grant), among others.
'Lincoln' focuses on the tumultuous last months in office of the XNUMXth president of the United States. In a nation divided by war and in which strong winds of change are blowing, Abraham Lincoln undertakes a series of actions with the aim of ending the war, uniting the country and abolishing slavery. With the moral stature and strong determination to accomplish all of this, the decisions made by Lincoln at such a critical time will change the destiny of generations to come.
'Lincoln' far from what it might seem is not a conventional overproduction, but rather a political, pedagogical, didactic film, and with an enviable human and technical cut, Ya que the staging of the magnificent cast is impeccable. We can also say, without hesitation, that it stands out for the cleverness of its plot and it will especially appeal to those who already know with something about the history of the time in question or about the characters that appear in it.
Steven Spielberg thus manages to further humanize President 'Lincoln' under a neat and cold appearance that Daniel Day-Lewis has been able to embody perfectly, and that it could well be worth his third Oscar for best actor.
