The problem I have with this article, and ones like it, is
the complete lack of context and understanding of the gaming industry business.
mmm... a protagonist who
complete dominates a long film to the detriment
of context and the other players in the story (though the abolitionist, limping senator with the black lover does gets close to stealing the show, and is rather more interesting than the hammily - acted Lincoln); Day - Lewis acts like he's focused on getting an Oscar rather than bringing a human being to life - Lincoln as portrayed is a strangely zombie character, an intelligent, articulate zombie, but still a zombie; I greatly appreciate Spielberg's attempt to deal with political process and I appreciate the
lack of «action» but somehow the
context is missing and after seeing the film I know some more facts but very little about what makes these politicians tick; and the lighting is way too stylised, beautiful but unremittingly unreal, so the film falls between the stools
of docufiction and costume drama, with costume drama winning out; and the second subject
of the film - slavery - is almost
complete absent (unlike Django Unchained) except as a verbal abstraction
O'Marra said the requirement for a sufficient ethical screen is not a
complete lack of interaction between the tainted lawyer and other lawyers working on the case, which would be impossible in a small law firm
context.
