On the set of “Lincoln,” Daniel Day-Lewis demanded that everyone, including director Steven Spielberg, refer to him as "Mr. President" and not let English cast members speak to him (in their own accents) while trying to get Abe's voice right, for fear that it might throw him off. The maddening method acting worked out well as Lincoln is propulsively played by Day-Lewis in another performance that will be remembered for years to come. His Lincoln is a man of many flaws, but with enough heart, soul, and drive to push the all-important 21st amendment forward. It has almost come to be a predictable thing to say that Daniel Day-Lewis performance but it is always highly welcome. Day-Lewis gives a great performance, but, no doubt yo heavy research, the method actor’s gestures and physical traits make it feel as though you are actually watching honest Abe on-screen; Thrintensity that rages in his eyes is that of a man that is not playing Lincoln but IS Abraham Lincoln.
