I thought they would have shown the assassination of Lincoln . This was important.
shareI thought it would end when he walks down the hall and yet showing the theater next, you think it's Ford's the first time you see the film.
shareWhy? It would not have added anything. The focus of the movie was the emancipation proclamation and the end of the war.
Everyone knows how he died.
A bit disingenuous, though, to show *a* theatre, not *the* theatre, when the President got show. Slight misdirection, could have been handled better. You don't have to show the assassination, and it would've been more powerful to have a scene with his son Robert hearing the news and rushing to his deathbed.
But whatever. I'm not Spielberg.
Not in the context of this film is it important.
You're expecting too much from a film that is in every way imaginable the worst, most overrrated, least entertaining mound of dead maggets ever to spoil the screen.
shareI might have just shown him at the theater, where he was apparently having a wonderful time, laughing at the jokes, and cuddling with Mary. End it there. No need to show what we all know was coming.
P.S. Why are they still trying the pitch avatars?

I'm glad the director decided not to show the assassination. We all know about that. This film was more about the passing of the 13th amendment to the Constitution.
