感恩節看《林肯》

林肯是我最敬佩的人，第一次讀到林肯的《葛底斯堡演說》是讀大學的時候，內心裏十分震撼。感恩節要做的第一件事就是去電影院看新上演的電影《林肯》。

葛底斯堡演說

林肯個人及其家族的不幸真讓人感到難過，這個為全人類作出巨大貢獻的偉人及其家人卻遭遇如此之多的不幸，真讓人遺憾！

下麵的一段評論令人深思：

“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.”
