While viewers searching
for something
more modern and exciting might find the
more esoteric parts of the film to be plodding, most will
leave Lincoln satisfied by the film, and inspired by its lessons: that one man's determination can change the course of history, that politics is not just a space
for the power
hungry, and that this country may have its problems, but it is men like Lincoln that established America as a home
for freedom and change.
While most film series seem to lose their luster after the first couple of films, the Star Wars series carries a great deal of energy, imagination, and interest throughout all six films, and still
leaves me
hungry for more.
