Culturebox: George Bush Killed Abe Lincoln

movies George Bush Killed Abe Lincoln Despite some overly drawn parallels, The Conspirator is a gripping historical account. By Dana Stevens Posted Thursday, April 14, 2011, at 10:03 PM ET Robert Redford's The Conspirator (Lionsgate), a courtroom drama about the aftermath of the Lincoln assassination, has no business being as entertaining as it is. Less a movie than an extended re-enactment from a History Channel documentary, the movie is stagey, preachy, and long on exposition. It's easy to imagine the bulleted list of questions to be handed out afterwards for high-school civics students to ponder: What is a writ of habeas corpus? But once you accustom yourself to this film's unhurried rhythm and old-fashioned Hollywood stolidity, The Conspirator is not without its pleasures--chief among them Robin Wright's quietly fierce performance as Mary Surratt, the mother of one of John Wilkes Booth's conspirators, who was charged with complicity in their plot to kill the president. The film begins on a Civil War battleground where, amid horrific carnage, a wounded Union soldier, Capt. Frederick Aiken (James McAvoy) struggles to keep his even more seriously injured comrade Nicholas (Justin Long) from slipping toward death. As it turns out, both men survive the war, and a few years later Aiken is a novice attorney in the employ of Reverdy Johnson (Tom Wilkinson), with Nicholas as his roue drinking partner. As they carouse at a men's club one April night in 1865, word comes that the president has been shot. (Though we only glimpse Lincoln briefly and from a distance, the shooting at Ford's Theatre is recreated as it appeared in contemporary accounts, right down to Booth's leap onto the stage, the resulting broken leg, and his cry of "Sic semper tyrannis--the South is avenged!")

Dealing with feelings of loneliness April 15, 2011 I am like a desert owl of the wilderness,             like an owl of the waste places; I lie awake;             I am like a lonely sparrow on the housetop. Psalm 102:6-7 I heard about a man whose mother woke him up one Sunday morning and said, “Now, you’ve got to get to church.” So he said, “I’m not going to church today.” She said, “Well, that’s unusual. You always go to church. Why don’t you want to go today?” He said, “People always ignore me there. They talk behind my back, they don’t speak to me, and they walk right past me like they’re avoiding me. I’m sick of it! So I’m not going to church.” So his mother said, “Well, number one, you have to go because the Lord expects you to go. And number two, you’re the pastor!” Isn’t it true that even in a place like church, there can be so much loneliness? Even though you’re surrounded by people, it can be as if you’re the only one around. There’s so much loneliness in the world today. That’s why we have all these support groups and the singles scene and all the things that people are trying to do to fill the gaps in their lives. But even with all those things people are trying to use to numb the pain of loneliness, the feeling of isolation still remains in so many hearts. Perhaps you’re feeling alone today. Oh, you may be with family and friends, but on the inside there’s that aching, nagging alienation that’s tearing you up. So if you’re feeling alone, remember that God is ever-present and never leaves your side. You can always count on him because he truly cares for you. WHILE YOU MAY BE FEELING LONELY, GOD IS ALWAYS THERE AND WILL BE WITH YOU THROUGH EVERY SEASON OF PAIN.
