★★★ · What's wrong with Lincoln wishing for peace?! · USABG58 · 2011-08-12

Hoaky? Yep. Far-fetched? Yep. Bad? NO. The scene depicts the ideal of good people dealing with good people, regardless of the reality of the past. Nothing wrong with that ideal. And I further say nothing wrong with a movie portraying that. In fact, we need more ideals portrayed in movies. I saw the rest of the movie and for its age, it's not a bad movies.

maybe you can watch this movie, but when abe lincoln gets out of the stage in new mexico to talk peace with the natives- i just can't bear it. it happens at the first,but still. so i admit i didn't see this movie, but there's something wrong- so wrong- about this i don't even care.
