AlexBraunberger A film unlike any I have seen before, if uses live action in combination with actual photographs from the era comma as a backdrop. I think that the makers of this we're going for that sense of realism that is associated with historical photos. And few periods in American history have been more photographed than the Civil War. The premise of the film is the friendship between President Abraham Lincoln and his best bodyguard. The one most loyal and vigilant in his duty of protecting the life of the president of the United States. It avoids any awkward moments that could be easily misconstrued by politically-correct revisionists. As far as I know the makers of this film did their homework.

Hannah Sheehan I enjoyed this movie and the new perspective it gave me on the life of Abraham Lincoln. The movie shows many important events during his time as president, but while most movies would only show these events from a military or political perspective, they are shown here from a personal perspective as well. We get to see how Lincoln's friends and family helped him through his presidency, and how they frequently tried to lighten the mood with music. I thought that this in particular made the movie interesting. Another thing that makes this movie unique is that it is in black and white. I liked this aspect because it worked well with the actual photographs from this time period that were already in black and white. Overall, I thought that the film was very good, and I learned a lot more than I had originally thought I was going to.

elizamancecc The movie showed Lincoln's life and his struggles from a very different point of view. You see it from the point of view of Lincoln's good friend Ward Hill Lamon. The movie shows the risks taken by Lincoln during his everyday life because of the threats of assassination. Although Lincoln continued to take these risks, his bodyguard and close friend Lamon kept doing everything in his power to protect Lincoln from all possible threats. The film was done in a very unique way with actual pictures from this time period being used as the background. I enjoyed learning about Lincoln and his life from the perspective of Lamon, which is different from the way you would traditionally learn about Lincoln.

nicholascoluccicc The movie Saving Lincoln portrays an extremely good description of Abraham Lincoln life and the hardships he endured. The movie is narrated by one of his close friend and personal bodyguard, Ward Hill Lamon. As you watch the movie from the perspective of Lamon you get to see both the struggles that Lincoln had and the extreme difficulty and tiring task of keeping the most loved but also most hated person in the United States alive during the time of the Civil War. The movie also stays very historically accurate and the use of real Civil War pictures really brings the whole meaning of the movie together. The movie takes you on a journey of the ¨epic friendship¨ between Lincoln and Ward Hill Lamon.
