Master Piece

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2018)

"There are times when I look at people and I see nothing worth liking."
" I want to make enough money that I can move far away from everyone."
This two lines struck me, they sum up the character and the persona of Daniel. if I could I would give this movie 6 stars on 5, a true masterpiece perfect in every way from the filming, framing of shots, the story, the acting, and characters..... duo to Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Thomas's genius. the movie started with 14.30 minutes dialogue-free introduction yet it's in my opinion, one of the best opening shots of cinema history. Daniel Day-Lewis is so perfect as Daniel Plainview SO PERFECT (what a surprise lol) that I hung up on every word and every silence of his, we saw him get the success and the solitude he craved for then saw him pay the price by losing his humanity and PT Anderson did such an outstanding job directing this movie that I couldn't lift my eyes from the screen during two and a half hours and it stuck with me with its poignant dark themes perfectly and subitly dilevered such as American ambition, family, religion, and Materialism. I can proudly say that this film is one of my best of all times.
