5.0 out of 5 stars Stealing Lincoln's Body, March 24, 2009

This review is from: Stealing Lincoln's Body (DVD)

Very informative documentary. Most people have no idea what our 16th president's body went through until it's final resting place some 30 years AFTER his assasination. Did you know that the original "Lincoln's Tomb" had to be rebuilt due to faulty construction, or that the president's body was buried in the basement of the tomb (not in the vault above) for over a decade for fear of another attempt at stealing it! This film goes into great detail about how the body was preserved, the journey across Amercia and the plot to steal it.Digital reconstruction of the body in the casket and of Lincoln himself. A must for history buffs, Lincoln historians and those just curious. Well worth it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Most Unique, October 15, 2009

This is the most unique Lincoln program I have ever seen. Using modern "Motion Capture" animation technology, (think Tom Hanks in Polar Express) Lincoln literally comes to life like never before. (excepting the various Lincoln shows at Disneyland and Walt Disney World) They used real images of Lincoln in a computer and had an actor in a "motion capture suit." The result is the most interesting, unique and maybe even startling video I have even seen.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Must Have" for Any Lincoln Buff!!, May 5, 2009

I loved this gem of history past but what is really facinating is the technology used that made Mr. Lincoln "come to life". We see him walking down the White house staircase, walk down the street tipping his hat to people as they walk by and, along with his wife Mary, sitting in the box at Ford's Theatre at the moment of his assassination by a pistol shot to the back of his head at the hand of actor John Wilkes Booth. It is just like seeing actual clips of Lincoln bringing him to life (and death) again. This is a "Must Have" for the collection of any admirer of our sixteenth president who died just five days after saving the union of the United States after four years of a bloody Civil War. *****
