Synopsis of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Abraham Lincoln – Vampire Hunter (2012)
1. Presumed and inferred event.
Synopsis
Abraham Lincoln who is the 16th President of the United States of America, happens to stumble upon the plans of the vampire clan who wanted to overthrow and take over the country in order for the clan to grow. The story evolves around Abraham who wishes to stop the plan to be taken to action.
2. Explicity and presented event.
This movie starts with the main character, Abraham Lincoln, writing his diary about his life and journey. It then slowly moves into the flashbacks of his life, all the way back to when he was a kid in the year of 1818. Having the movie started in such a way helps the audiences to have an in depth sensation on the story, and it also stimulates the minds of the audiences in believing the story. The rest of the story can be found in the later part, in the section of the storyline.
3. Added non diegetic materials.
This movie uses a total of 22 soundtracks that were composed by Henry Jackman, and the first song in the ending or the closing credit played was by Linkin Park, entitled Powerless, as according to Wikipedia (2012). However, based on the IMDB (2012), there were another 6 songs that were not included into the list of soundtrack, of which were also mentioned that the songs listed in their database are sometimes, not to be found on the CD soundtracks.
“The Student Waltz” was one of the songs that were in the movie, whereby Abraham Lincoln was dancing with Mary Todd. In that particular scene, both Abraham and Mary were sharing their thoughts together, and finding themselves more alike than they ever knew, and the song played at the background helps to create a romantic atmosphere around the both of them.
The other song that caught the attention is also the first closing credit song, Powerless by Linkin Park. In that scene, it shows a white brownish backdrop with drops of blood, forming lines in which at the end is seen to be drawing out the map of the

    In the book Chasing Lincolns Killer I realized that Booth got lucky a few times after the assassination. There was many times he could have been caught for example, the cavalry didn’t investigate muds call to the police because they had too many people saying they knew where Booth was and Edman Spangler and John Peanut did not abandon the horse so Booth was able to escape easily. Also, the cavalry did not check the Pine Thicket in Maryland where john Wilkes Booth and David Herold were hiding.…

    The author begins by saying, "This is a book about a day, a place and a murder." He starts it all describing the morning of Friday, April 14, 1865. He describes Lincoln as an old frail man who doesn't have much energy for anything. An example he wrote about was when Lincoln came out of his bedroom, faced with desperate men grabbing his arm begging for his help. Lincoln replied, "I'm sorry" and kept on his way. It…

    Abraham Lincoln was pushed into the light of the world in Harden County, Kentucky on the 12th day of February 1809. 1 Born into a farming family, little Abe was no stranger to heavy labor and hardships. Thomas Lincoln, Abraham’s father, moved the family farm once locally before going to Indiana in 1816.2 Thomas’s move of the family may be attributed to their disapproval of slavery (the Baptist church they attended broke away from the parent church on the issue of slavery), however, the fundamental reason was to purchase land with a secure title.3 The state of Indiana was granted secure titles for land plotted in accordance with the Northwest Ordinance. His mother, Nancy Hanks, died when he was nine years old from “milk sickness”, which was a rare occurrence even at the beginning of the 19th century.4 Abraham’s father encouraged him as a young child and man to work hard, which continued throughout his life. In the movie, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer, Abe defends the new nation against vampires using an axe made of silver…naturally. The idea of Lincoln using that as his weapon of choice was likely based on the common knowledge of his proficiency with the chopping tool. His work ethic, tremendous physical strength, and popularity made him a fun choice for such a ridiculous movie plot.…

    Lincoln is a movie based off of Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin, which portrays the latter end of Abraham Lincoln’s illustrious career. The film is based around Congressional debate and Lincoln’s attempts to pass the 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery in the United States. The movie is centered in Washington D.C. and the areas surrounding it between the Emancipation Proclamation in January, 1863, and the death of Lincoln in April, 1865. The film raises the issues of slavery, ending the Civil War, political strife, familial strife and general morality. Lincoln, being a Hollywood film, was meant to entertain the viewers. However, the movie sticks so close to reality that the movie is not as entertaining, rather more informative. The major themes of the film all…

    The Gettysburg Address was the most famous speech given by President Lincoln. It was given after the Civil War almost as a way to restore the nation and honor the fallen soldiers. In the speech Abraham starts off by saying “ Four score and seven years ago” which is significant because that was when the Declaration of Independence was signed and when the colonies gained their freedom from Great Britain. He then goes on to say that the founding fathers built the nation on liberty and equality for all men, but years later they are fighting to see if it's…
