adonis98-743-186503 Famous actors and actresses read testimonies from people close to Lincoln about him and his actions during the Civil War. Lincoln (1992) is a 4 hours biography of the famous President with lots of well known actors giving their voices to famous faces from those times and bringing them back to life somee of those actors are James Earl Jones and even Arnold Schwarzenegger (both of them starred in Conan The Barbarian in case you didn't know it). It's pretty interesting learning some things about one of the most beloved Presidents of all time but the 4hr mark does kind of loose me hear and there. You can find the TV Movie in parts on Youtube in case you wanna actually see it. (7/10)

bpaulb A reasonably fair, well-balanced portrayal of our 16th president. Not the glowing, untarnished lore I was steeped in while growing up in Springfield, Illinois. I have studied the life of Lincoln for four decades, both in the popular press and obscure scholarly works. I can truly recommend this work as an excellent introduction on the topic. A tip of the hat to Pete Kunhardt!Lincoln was like us all: he made mistakes, he felt misery and he was, at times, mental. Unlike many of us, he lived his convictions. The man was human, the man was totally honorable and the man is my hero.

Surfer-23 An exceptional documentary on the life of Abraham Lincoln, told through narration, letters, speeches, and diaries.I don't know if I quite agreed with the choice of Jason Robards as Lincoln, but this is just a matter of taste (although I have read descriptions of how Lincoln actually sounded).You should, however, ignore this minor quibble. If you have any interest at all in one of history's most fascinating people, or even if you are already an expert on Lincoln, you should see this film.

Coxer99 Outstanding documentary on the life of our 16th President with fantastic music by Alan Menken and the voices of some of Hollywood's finest, especially Robards as Lincoln.
