As many plaudits as Day-Lewis receives, he astounds time after time. And the supporting cast was outstanding.
Heard Spielberg sat on the film for almost 10 years, because he wanted Daniel to play Lincoln and no one else. Apparently Daniel at the time thought Lincoln was too iconic to be played by himself.

What shocks me is Sally Field, the only one I felt that was miscast in the film, but surprisingly worked.

from what i saw, spielberg wasn't happy with the first script. that liam neeson was his first pick (they'd done schindler's list together) but that neeson later said he thought he'd gotten too old to play him. i can't see liam in that role. i thought ddl was perfect for the role, and he did a fabulous job. some on set thought it was eerie, that abe had almost come to life.

when i saw sally field, i said wha? but she worked. brilliant casting job. except for alexander stephens-he was too good looking to play that guy!

I liked the movie too. I saw it last week. Glad everyone enjoyed it.

It's cool going to the movies and when you really like the movie it makes for a great experience.
