Remember, it's a film, not a documentary. For instance, I'm not entirely sure Abe used to sneak into Mary's bureau when she wasn't home and try on her frilly lady things. That was in the movie. <br /><br />Do I write too much? I can't seem to help myself. It just all comes pouring out. Maybe I'll take a less-is-more approach and see if my numbers click.

Most of his reviews started with "I didn't see it." I respect that sort of honesty. I haven't seen any of them. As a historian, I know I *should* have seen "Lincoln" but I won't because the historical inaccuracies would just piss me off and I'll start throwing stuff at the screen.
