In 1865, the four-year American Civil War came to an end, and President Abraham Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis) also ushered in his second term. In the last four months of his life and term, Lincoln has been committed to a battle that is more difficult than the Civil War: promoting the passage of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in Congress. The bill will legally abolish slavery in the United States forever. However, the timing of the amendment was extremely bad: the idea of abolition lacked the response of the people; Congress was controlled by conservative forces; and the radicals who supported abolition were also dissatisfied with Lincoln's style. When the secessionist southern states expressed their willingness to return to the negotiating table and end the Civil War, Lincoln found himself facing a dilemma: to obtain a compromised peace or to stick to his inner morality? To end slavery or to end the war? "If slavery is not wrong, then nothing is right." Adapted from the historical book "Team of Rivals: The Political Wisdom of Lincoln", written by Pulitzer Prize winner Tony Kushner, directed by Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg, and starring two-time actor Daniel Day-Lewis, the biographical blockbuster "Lincoln" leads the audience to the greatest achievement of Lincoln's life: the abolition of slavery. Lincoln in the movie is a politician full of flexibility and wisdom, and a commander-in-chief of the three armies who strategizes; he is a loving father who lost his beloved son, and a husband with guilt. When his country was at its most confused moment, Lincoln, with superhuman foresight, looked beyond the war and devoted all his efforts to the great game of changing the direction of a country's progress. He wanted to convince the American people: when people of different skin colors look up, they will see the same starry sky.
