Lincoln Shares Billing with the House, Explained：top billing
Spielberg believes in the country. Lines tell of people who go against "better judgment" and "do the right thing." One line says "some sort of a patriot," then "I am a patriot." Kushner says Lincoln shares "top billing" with the House. A motion only reaches a vote. Once up, a flag is for the people to "keep it up."
あらすじ
Spielberg says he believes in this country. Other lines want stories about people who do the right thing against advice and better judgment. One speaker says some sort of a patriot, then says he is one. Kushner says Lincoln shares top billing with the House. A motion only brings the 13th Amendment to a vote. Elsewhere, a flag is left for the people to keep up.

What's really going on
Spielberg says he believes in this country, and he always has. A following line wants stories about people who go "against all advice and against most everyone else's better judgment" and still "do the right thing." Another line says "some sort of a patriot, but I am a patriot." One House line rejects the abolition amendment. A later line says nothing of "human meaning or worth" is possible until slavery is cured and the war ends. A motion only brings the 13th Amendment "to a vote," then "So moved, so ordered." Nothing here shows the vote passing. What is "pushed to the fore," one voice says, is "a triumph of democracy." Kushner says Lincoln "shares top billing with the House of Representatives." Apart from that, "The part assigned to me is to raise the flag," and once up, "it'll be for the people to keep it up."
Theme

このシーンについての質問
Why say some sort of a patriot, then claim to be one?
The line says some sort of a patriot, but I am a patriot. Some sort of only means a kind of. The but claims the label. The next line adds that he is somewhat of an idealist, too.
Does the 13th Amendment pass here?
No. Someone moves to bring the bill "to a vote," another voice seconds it, and the reply is "So moved, so ordered." That only puts the bill up for a vote. Nothing in these lines shows it passing.
Why does the House share top billing with Lincoln?
Kushner says it took guts to make a film "in which Lincoln shares top billing with the House of Representatives." What gets "pushed to the fore" is not Lincoln's triumph but "a triumph of democracy."
Who has to keep the flag up?
"The part assigned to me is to raise the flag." Once it is up, "it'll be for the people to keep it up." One person raises it. The people are left to maintain it.
