Howmanheyman 27305 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 It's the very first scene of the film and as soon as he came on I thought exactly that Thankfully the rest of it is infinitely better than this scene. I will say that Anne Hathaway's scene where she sings 'I dreamed a dream' was moving and she acted the song as much as she sang it. That was a very good performance.

Happy Face 29 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Lincoln As a lefty liberal non-compromising do-gooder I enjoyed the Tommy Lee Jones strand of the story. Interesting look at whether a president might defy the constitution for good, is it breaking the law or bending it? I'd heard it was the 3rd draft of the script that DD Lewis had signed up to which led me to look up when Spielberg started on the film. I was surprised to see he first started on the project prior to 9/11. Seemed to have a lot to say about post 9/11 politics. Obviously taking Lincoln as it's focus and point of comparison it was kind on presidents who make difficult short term decisions for longer term results. Lincoln was bending the constitution to end a war, to end slavery and maintain the union though, leaders of the US over the past decade (and longer) have done so in order to torture and go to war.

Happy Face 29 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Lincoln - Dull. Very, very dull. Overall it was an extremely slow moving, dimly lit, largely unmoving waste of time. Thought a lot of it was bloody gorgeous. The indoors were dark but full of shadows & iconic silhouettes. The outdoors were like a 70s western.

luckyluke 1 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Nowt to do last night so watched Wedding Crashers. A lot funnier than I remembered it. Rachel McAdams is absolutely stunning, reminds me very much of an ex-girlfriend (d'oh!) of mine. Bah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19889 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I respect your opinion but you're wrong I think to truly appreciate musicals you need to either have a fanny, be a gay bloke or be CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angrysteve 0 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Lincoln - can't fault the craft (cinematography/costume/production design) or the performances, (Day-Lewis & Lee Jones deserve oscars) but if like me you have zero interest in politics and even less in the history of American politics it's exceptionally hard work. If you're into that stuff you'll probably love it as it isn't a bad film, just a niche subject matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being lean doesn't make as gay as enjoying musicals. Anyway, at least I haven't gone as far as uploading the self shot torso pic.

luckyluke 1 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Automatic gay for that like, soz. What does that even mean? Dishing 'gay's out left right and centre at the thought of going to see a musical while simultaneously defending your right to harp on about the gym, you literally could not be acting more like a closet puddle jumper.
