感恩节看《林肯》
林肯是我最敬佩的人,第一次读到林肯的《葛底斯堡演说》是读大学的时候,内心里十分震撼。感恩节要做的第一件事就是去电影院看新上演的电影《林肯》。
林肯个人及其家族的不幸真让人感到难过,这个为全人类作出巨大贡献的伟人及其家人却遭遇如此之多的不幸,真让人遗憾!
下面的一段评论令人深思:
“Abraham Lincoln has come to personify the notion that even the humblest born could grow up and become president. But scandal and a sense of entitlement marked the last Lincolns. In place of public service, ambition, and education -- the foundations of Abraham Lincoln's genius -- his descendants became a symbol for dishonor and decadence in the upper class, to the utter destruction of the House of Lincoln.”
