Hello, Uncle Richard! I'm here on my blog today to talk to you about going to see the movie Lincoln on Saturday. My dad and I went to Showtime Cinema in Franklin and my dad bought us two tickets for the movie Lincoln on Saturday. Then we walked to the concession stand and we bought us two large tubs of popcorn and two large sodas. Then my dad and I were all ready to see Lincoln! Lincoln was about the 16th president of the United States named Abraham Lincoln, played by Daniel Day-Lewis. It took place in the year 1865, where President Lincoln was inaugurated for his second term in office. He had a wife named Mary Todd Lincoln, who was played by Sally Field. While in the movie, Uncle Richard, President Lincoln was telling his cabinet about the Emancipation Proclamation he read in 1863, the Civil War and many Civil War generals that were dead and wounded. The North finally won the Civil War in 1865, and President Lincoln announced that he and his cabinet were going to find many dead Civil War generals lying outside on the battlefield grounds, and they did found them bleeding and wounding and being assassinated on the ground. Abraham Lincoln said to his cabinet, "Well, the Civil War is finally over now, so we can go back to Washington, D.C. to continue on our work." It was April of 1865, and at Ford's Theater in Washington, D.C., Our American Cousin was playing, and during the play John Wilkes Booth yelled to everyone in the audience, "President Abraham Lincoln is shot! He's assassinated! Sic Semper Tyrannis!" And everyone was crying and screaming about President Lincoln being assassinated by John Wilkes Booth. At the end of the movie, Uncle Richard, President Lincoln was dead and was lying his dead body in bed, and in his thoughts he heard himself saying a wonderful speech to the people of the United States. Lincoln was a great movie, Uncle Richard! My dad and I really enjoyed it and we also liked it! I sure hope Lincoln would win an Academy Award for Best Picture this year. Well, Uncle Richard, it sure was nice talking to you on my blog, and I'm signing off now because I will be seeing you soon sometime in April because you have a Spring Concert to conduct at Beaver Dam High School. Good-bye, Uncle Richard, and remember that your favorite nephew Derek is always a very good blogger! See ya!
