[Schilkeman]

I’m amazed that so many seem to sleep on Lincoln. Is it an American thing? Outside of Schindler’s List, and the debatable remake of WSS (no Jerome Robbins really hurts, and the editing lacks Wise’s rhythm), Kushner has written Spielberg’s best scripts. The last Spielberg movie I didn’t really care for was Ready Player One, and before that, A.I. BFG is a charming movie, stunningly produced, with the best Williams score in twenty years.

This new film has Emily Blunt (Do you see her? nice!), an original idea by Spielberg, and an improbable (possibly) final score by John Williams. Oh, and I think it looks pretty good. Kaminski annoys the right people. There’s a lot of certified geniuses working on this film (and David Koepp lol). I’ll watch their “mediocre” any day.
