Friday Night at the Movies

Concluding our Fall “Politics in the Movies” theme, We will view Lincoln, a 2012 historical drama starring Daniel Day-Lewis in the title role, supported by an all-star cast including Sally Field, Tommy Lee Jones, Hal Holbrook, James Spader, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt among others. Covering the last months of Abraham Lincoln’s presidency, this movie delves into the difficult issues and politics of the time, including the struggle to enact the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery and to end the Civil War. Day-Lewis won the Oscar for Best Actor for his riveting performance, while the film garnered a total of 12 Oscar nominations.  Kay Mundy and Owen Bates will lead our post-film discussion.
