Lincoln Q&A - Full Interview (2012) - Steven Spielberg, Daniel Day-Lewis Movie HD 

He's one of the best method actor out there!

I couldn’t agree more. He’s endlessly interesting

​@@cindyinnew😮xoxolvox,u

He's a once in a lifetime kind of guy. One of the few actors I feel like you could actually sit down and have a beer & conversation with, pure class & quality to the core.

He's one of the best method actor out there!

@@yengsabio5315 but he's not a method actor, He said that and actors who worked with him that were method actors said too... its similar, but different.

Hopefully he will make another movie because he is the best of the best and could still make many more.

@@umiami85 he’s moved on. He’s pursuing his love of being a cobbler and other crafts. He’s a man of so many interests

Int humble opinion he’s the best that’s ever lived

Couldn't agree more a complete genius

For sure. The very best of the best

BTW that interviewer rocked

"never let them see behind the curtain"

What was “mind blowing” about it?

@@ErnestoMike It was a great performances of all time. That is what is mind blowing about that.

@@krishshautriya5170 the greatest performance ever captured on film

Imagine if Brando had been such a serious actor.

He lives I guess

Carpentry, motorbikes, racecars, design/building, writing, shoemaking (at one time), running (at one time).

raise three sons, become a carpenter, learn the art of italian bootmaking, grow his family's food (gardener), etc.etc.

He is mainly a stage actor

He has three sons.

Ending slavery was just a BS propaganda tool like spreading democracy in the middle east while doing it for oil. Slavery would have ended in a natural way, like it did in the rest of the world, but it was used (later on when the war was already raging) for the justification of killing 2% of the population for defending the tax infrastructure of the Federal government. Wise people understand that politicians are assholes who lie and kill for power.

Ending slavery was a brilliant move. It had multiple motivations. Some were moral implications as articulated by the abolitionist movement, it had foreign policy implications because by making the war about the moral issue of slavery it prevented Britian from aiding the confederacy economically and recognizing them diplomatically. It also struck terror in the hearts of southern slavers who suddenly found themselves with a free population of human beings who they had abused and oppressed for generations. Like all brilliant political moves it was part BS but more importantly it was part moral decision, part foreign policy move to cut off an alliance between Great Britain and the Confederacy and most brilliant of all WMD against the Confederacy which guranteed a new infusion of soliders and individuals who could provide inside information and intelligence to the Union Army. You are thinking to small to see Lincolns decision so one dimensionally. He was playing chess while the opposition was playing checkers; the man was a brilliant strategist.

GrinnolaAlum He killed 600.000 Americans and destroyed the basic concept that founded America. Since we agree slavery wasn't the motivation we can conclude that the war wasn't started for moral reasons (like every goddamn war). I'm sorry but I refuse to call mass murderers "hero's", be it on the left/ right or the center. Does this mean i endorse slavery? No.

mengelmoesNL The level of hypocrisy among Confederate revisionists never ceases to amaze. It was both immoral and irresponsible for the south to begin a war against an opponent that had more resources and an economy that put them at an advantage. Lincoln did not force them to start the war they made that stupid decision and are responsible for the consequences including the lives lost.

GrinnolaAlum He knew the south would fire if he supplied the fort. A great strategy I'll give him that. ""You and I both anticipated that the cause of the country would be advanced by making the attempt to provision Fort Sumter, even if it should fail; and it is no small consolation now to feel that our anticipation is justified by the result." Very truly your friend, A. LINCOLN.

Agreed, with a slight amendation (appropriately enough) - Walking down the hallway with that last speech playing in the background, because Lincoln's words are as memorable as his iconic figure. The film didn't need the whole 'drama' of his death, which really wasn't made all that relevant to the story itself. It could have been included in a text-only denouement instead, like in a lot of historical films.

His death was the end of the story. It needed to be shown

Christian Holferty nobody cares what you are talking about and no need to mention your age(it does not make any sense)
