Just saw "Lincoln".

The movie was excellent, but I think they didn't depict how truly insane Mrs Lincoln was. Her son, who lived until the 1920's, finally had to commit her. And, I never thought of Abe as the jovial story teller they depicted. I remember a biography from years ago that talked of his severe bouts of depression. He called them his "black fog." Sometimes he would isolate himself in his room for days at a time until it passed.
