Absolutely fantastic. Certainly one of my favorite movies.

Very compelling (the political horse-trading scenes especially; I think the decision to focus it so squarely on the thirteenth amendment instead of turning it into some dumb Lincoln biopic was a very good one) until Spielberg had to go and ruin everything with his goddamn stupid ending.

Oh yeah, the movie should have ended with the celebrations of the Amendment's passage. There really was no need to continue up to the assassination we all know about anyway.

Hopefully in 2160 a world-acclaimed movie will be made about President Obama's glorious struggle to bring health insurance to the people. The material's definitely there.

That one is probably going to be made sometime in the 2020s though.

Nah, it would bear a too partisan connotation if made so early. But give it 3 or 4 decades, and Obamacare will be widely acclaimed as one of America's greatest successes.
