It is not his life from start to
finish, not a biopic of scope and sweep that crams too much into too little and belittles all (imagine the scene of eight - year - old Abe
seeing a slave being whipped and hearing his

When the conference
finished I felt to tell him «he's a great
dad and that he needed to hear that» As I walked past I leant down to his ear and said «I want you to know I was watching you with your boys, your a wonderful Father» You should have
seen his face light up.
