re: Just saw Lincoln

I can't believe they actually showed that many people casting their votes. They could have edited that scene better.

I caught the same flub in it twice. The first one was when Abe told anothe guy to "call" somebody. It happened a second time but no sure when cause I forgot. Checked it out and the telephone wasn't invented until 1870 so how are they making these "calls"?

lol. The definition of "call" isn't limited to using a phone to speak to someone. It just means "go get them" or "go speak with." For example phrases like "gentleman caller" or "he called for a meeting."


On topic, I thought the movie was very good, but I knew it was a movie about the 13th amendment passage. And considering it was a movie about the passing of legislation it was fantastic!
