I'm almost 100 percent sure that this movie, which was after all entitled Lincoln, in fact turned the story of a heroic white man into a partial history of African-American freedom. At the very least a dramatic retelling. What a ridiculous criticism.but the deeper objection to “Lincoln” has to do with the way it turns the history of African-American freedom into the story of a heroic white man.
