Lincoln, a must see¡¡¡

"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."


"This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it."


"Euclid's first common notion is this: "Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other.That's a rule of mathematical reasoning and its true because it works - has done and always will do. In his book Euclid says this is self evident. You see there it is even in that 2000 year old book of mechanical law it is the self evident truth that things which are equal to the same things are equal to each other."


"A compass, I learnt when I was surveying, it'll... it'll point you True North from where you're standing, but it's got no advice about the swamps and deserts and chasms that you'll encounter along the way. If in pursuit of your destination, you plunge ahead, heedless of obstacles, and achieve nothing more than to sink in a swamp... What's the use of knowing True North?"


"If you can look into the seeds of time and say which grain will grow and which will not, speak then to me."


"How can I hold that all men are created equal when here before me stands stinking the moral carcass of the gentleman from Ohio? Proof that some men are inferior. Endowed by their maker with dim wits, impermeable to reason, with cold pallid slime in their veins instead of hot red blood. You are more reptile than man George, so low and flat that the foot of man is incapable of crushing you."



A movie about one of the most remarkable men upon history who fought against one of the worst ills which attacked the major principle of the United States, slavery. A really incesive film that shows the life of that man, Abraham Lincoln, besides the contemporary high politics in which the main American prejudices (that contradict the principles on which the nation was founded) are exhibited and, of course, fought.
