Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (26 March 2015)

Daniel Day-Lewis managed to leave me gaping after checking the most magnificent cinematic performances that I could expected to see. Was stunning, a unique film, a so great acting that gave Daniel Plainview life, a strong personality, lovely, admirable.
There is a long time that I get so admired in a movie by such beautiful performances, completely real, able to take us into the story, we can penetrate into the soul of the projection and we feel alongside both Daniels, feeling the moments of drama,and comedies lived by him, that is presented to us in this wonderful film.
Let me highlight here three scenes that i won't never forget, and say that I had never seen anything like it in any other movie, in time line, the first scene is when Eli ask for Plainview for his promised $ 5,000 and Daniel gives a lesson in Eli in that moment of so much frustration and problems. After that, comes the unforgettable Daniel's baptism scene, and the final scene of the meeting of Plainview with Eli, the performances was magnificent, both actors (Lewis and P. Dano) gave their characters real feelings that prove how fantastic actors they are, and how they must be admired as such.
The film is a masterpiece, an adaptation of the books that marked the cinema and that should be checked by all movie lovers. In the film as well, we can understand the history of oil exploration in the United States in the beginning of twentieth century, we can understand how the prospectors of that time had interests that often exceeded the limits of reason, the film makes this clear with the scene where Plainview tells his fake brother of the hatred in his soul, and the competitive spirit that he has, a fantastic scene. Who hasn't seen yet, are wasting time!
