I was amazed at how well it was done and it was incredible historically accurate according to my research. The whole love interest thing with Aiken could have been left out, but other then that it was very well done.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996173704045178865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3831255577594231117.post-90431287763373339232011-05-09T17:05:47.956-04:002011-05-09T17:05:47.956-04:00I don't think that it's a little known par...I don't think that it's a little known part of history at all. The only thing that Andrew Johnson had onions about in his entire political career was executing her.<br /><br />We're also talking about 'penitentiaries' - and Lincoln wasn't a Christian. Fitting. It was a brutal time, period. <br /><br />So she'd be a free woman today and play golf with OJ. I'll catch it on cable.Mini Choco-Pretzelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06285289137841770948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3831255577594231117.post-69205840187115398592011-05-07T18:01:23.739-04:002011-05-07T18:01:23.739-04:00The movie is powerful and I would recommend it bec...The movie is powerful and I would recommend it because it reveals a little known episode in history, and is capable of making viewers curious enough to seek more information, which is always a good thing. I disagree about the accuracy of it, but they kept the spirit of the situation intact. I do think she was more guilty than most people think, but I do not think she deserved to die. Lincoln would have, I think, been horrified by that. He was by no means a vengeful man and unfailingly courteous to women. Savannah is one of my favorite cities, and I do think it was the perfect choice for the film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3831255577594231117.post-28283470722947098552011-05-07T17:57:31.435-04:002011-05-07T17:57:31.435-04:00I think she was more guilty than most Lincoln buff...I think she was more guilty than most Lincoln buffs believe, but I don't think she deserved to die. I think her hanging would have horrified Lincoln himself, who was not at all a vengeful man and unfailingly courteous to women. I disagree about the accuracy of a lot of the details, but they kept the spirit of the thing intact, and for that reason I would recommend it. I would also recommend it because it's a chapter in our history that not everyone knows, and it is powerful enough to make people curious enough to look for more information.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
