I'm not really really defending Lincoln, per se. I'm defending the practice of taking liberties with facts. I didn't read Spielberg talking about how historical his movie is. If he sis that, then he should be shamed. Otherwise, I don't really think it adds anything to a movie to be "historically accurate". Am I supposed to look down on The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, because dynamite wasn't invented during the Civil War. Makes for a better move, so be it.

I'm with you. Am I supposed to look down on the Three Amigos for... well, most everything in the Three Amigos? Hell no. Best movie ever.
