Lincoln

Lincoln’ è un film tecnicamente perfetto: scritto bene, realizzato bene, interpretato bene.

Dimostra attenzione ai dettagli, alle ricostruzioni, al lessico, alle atmosfere, a quei particolari apparentemente secondari che si possono intravedere solo prestando la dovuta attenzione ai gesti che chi recita fa davanti al magico specchio della cinepresa.

È  rigoroso come un documentario, per Giove! Come ai tempi di ‘Schindler’s List, il grande Spielberg si è dimostrato maestro nel fondere arte e precisione.

La figura di Abraham Lincoln, fatta magnificamente rivivere da Daniel Day Lewis, d’altra parte, giganteggia nella storia universale e in quella americana per dei meriti che mai potranno essere cancellati e ai quali il cinema di Spielberg ha riconosciuto giusto tributo.

Lincoln’ is a technically perfect film: well written, well done and well performed.

It demonstrates attention to the details, to the reconstructions, to the lexicon, to the atmospheres, to those apparently secondary particulars which you can observe only finding the right attention to the gestures made by the players in front of the magic mirror of a cine camera.

It is rigorous as  a documentary, by Jove! As at the times of ‘Schindler’s List‘, the big Spielberg has confirmed to be a Master in mixing the art with the precision.

The figure of Abraham Lincoln, made magnificently re-live by Daniel Day Lewis, looms up, on the other hand, in the universal and in the American history for some merits that never will be deleted and that Spielberg’s cinema has correctly awarded.
