Lincoln
A spot-on review, Scott. But please, oh please, don't disgrace the memory of John Ford by mentioning his name in conjunction with this piece of cinematic bombast! While "Lincoln" contained (un)healthy doses of Stanley Kramer-like self importance and Richard Attenborough-like hagiography, as well as a few stabs at Howard Hawks-like overlapping dialogue, the only thing remotely Fordian about it was the use of "Battle Cry of Freedom" (a la "Young Mr. Lincoln") in the soundtrack. That and the blatant, lame mimicry of Judge Billy Priest's walk away from camera at the end of "The Sun Shines Bright." When preparing for "Young Mr. Lincoln," Ford chastised an overly-reverent Henry Fonda by telling him he wouldn't be playing the Great Emancipator, but merely a "@#$%& jack-legged lawyer from Springfield." Leave it to Spielberg to have the hubris to think he could make a film about the former.— November 23, 2012 7:14 p.m.
