影評:
歷史上名留青史的人物,很多時候我們只會聽過他們的名字,但未必知道有關他們的事蹟,傳記式電影便是一個不錯的平台讓觀眾認識一部分的史實。如果細心留意的話,在這類電影上映期間,通常都會有新聞批評電影歪曲事實,因此這些電影一般都會加上主觀情感,好讓在市場上得到利益。這電影以美國總統Abraham Lincoln主角,內容的虛構成分亦相對地少,所以很多美國人都喜歡這部大師級的作品。整個故事主要講述Abraham Lincoln(Daniel Day-Lewis飾)廢除黑奴制度的過程。Lincoln想在戰事結束前把協議通過,以免錯失機會,但在議事廳大部分議員都主張結束戰爭,因此他便更加焦急。在票數上,即使所有共和黨議員贊成,議案仍需要數名民主黨議員支持才能通過。他首先接觸的是共和黨的創辦人Francis Preston Blair,Blair以立即的結束戰爭和平協議作為支持廢除黑奴議案的支持,Lincoln恐怕已經太遲,所以冒著失去部分共和議員支持的風險,推卻Blair的條件。他之後接觸的是游離的民主黨議員,因為他們在選舉中落敗,所以他以來屆的公務職位引誘這些人士。Thaddeus Stevens(Tommy Lee Jones飾)以自己的見解說服其他議員支持議案,Lincoln也警告議員不要討論和平協議,因為廢除黑奴議案已經開始討論,經過他的堅持及與議員爭論後,議案以兩票之差成功通過。他也親自到南部斡旋,勸服他們廢除黑奴。及後戰爭結束,他繼續處理廢除黑奴後的衍生問題,然後被刺殺,電影最後以他連任總統時交職演說的場面作結。

Daniel Day-Lewis是歷屆Academy Awards奪得最多次最佳男主角的演員,先後憑My Left Foot, There Will Be Blood和Lincoln獲得殊榮,是一個不可多得的實力派演員。他在電影中的演出除了在外型化妝上很相似外,他好像把這位偉大的總統活靈活現地重現觀眾的眼前,尤其是他和議員爭論議案被討論的先後次序的那場戲,真的無人能及。他暫時未有電影的計劃,可能他想休息一下並搜尋優秀的劇本,再一次發揮其精湛的演技。Sally Field是兩屆Academy Awards影后,也參演過ER和Brothers & Sisters,是由六十年代至今仍活躍的女演員。她飾演總統夫人Mary Todd Lincoln,可能我曾經看過她的演出,所以我認為她的演出很穩定很稱職,是一個選角很合適的演員。她的下一部推介是The Amazing Spider-Man 2,她的角色和上集一樣是等閒的配角,但這品牌足以令她維持曝光度。Tommy Lee Jones是美國著名的前輩,曾奪得Academy Awards最佳男配角獎,當中以Men in Black系列較著名。他在電影的演出是符合角色的要求,但我並不覺得很出色,好像表現有點限制,所以他失去獎項我一點也不覺得驚訝。他的下一部推介是罪惡喜劇The Family,他的角色不算很大,但宣傳片中的他也算搶鏡。

老實說,我覺得這電影的藝術價值很高,但給予觀眾的娛樂性則較低。雖然從電影中知道歷史是不錯的學習體驗,但我認為導演可以在對白上或角色上創造一些趣味,這樣也符合電影工業的現實元素。如果香港的電影人仿效製作一部傳記式電影,大家會對誰有興趣?我想香港電影在可見的將來會有這樣的作品,而我的選擇是李嘉誠。
