An epic performance

Rating: 10/10 (25 February 2008)

What I have seen in this almost 3 hour movie is that cinema at its best as an art. The script, the music, the shots and the performances have left me in awe.
It was evident that Daniel Day Lewis earned the Oscar even just by the ending scene of the movie. However, the music and the movie itself couldn't win an Oscar which I think is not fair.
The music has been similar to the old classics in the sense that it did not create a feeling for the moment to unfold, it created a feeling for the whole movie in itself to unfold. There was a general totalitarian feeling in this and it was very attractive.
It is too early to say that this one is to become a classic, but it surely holds most of the aspects of the classics we have yet seen until today.
It was great to watch Daniel Day Lewis perform brilliantly and he simply underlined the fact that he is currently the best drama actor around.
