Re: Lincoln Movie, John Williams, & Chicago Symphony
I wonder if any of the musicians had milkshakes?But Day-Lewis stayed all four days, not taking part directly in what was happening but listening and drinking everything in.
Seriously, DDL is one of my favorite actors of all time. He does not grind out a lot of movies, but what he does is positively mesmerizing.
My wife and I have never seen a movie together in the theater, even when we were dating, largely for fiscal reasons. However, she has expressed interest in seeing this one and I concur. I was not even aware of the CSO connection, that makes it even more enticing. The last movie I saw with a CSO soundtrack was Fantasia 2000. I have the feeling this will be a little bit different...

Daniel Day Lewis is one of those people that when I see a movie with him (or hear his name), I have to stop and think, "wait, who is that?" Then I Google him, and sort of remember him. Also interesting that they picked a British/Irish actor to play Lincoln.

Re: Lincoln Movie, John Williams, & Chicago Symphony
Was reading an article in Time at the Doctors yesterday. Speilberg was hesitant until he caught DDL's profile against a window and was amazed how closely he resembled the profile cut outs he had seen as akid. By all accounts, DDL was PERFECT in the role. I am breaking my hard-and-fast rule of NEVER going to the theaters, and will see the movie tomorrow after dinner. As a nascent Civil War buff, I am intriqued, as a musician, I am compelled.bort wrote:Also interesting that they picked a British/Irish actor to play Lincoln.

He definitely has the look down! I'll try to go see it this weekend.
An aside -- this also reminds me of the HBO series The Wire... several of the actors are British, but playing cops/drug dealers in Baltimore. Being from Baltimore, I always thought their Baltimore accents were okay, but not great...until I heard them speak in their real voices and learned they are British. It completely surprised me!
