There Will Be Blood - 93

Rating: 9/10 (27 June 2020)

"There Will be Blood" is dripping with Innovative ideas, an amazing character study and visually excellence. A devastating and unsentimental portrayal of a man with initial hatred towards humanity, whose endless greed eventually destroys him from within. An extremely heartbreaking story of a mans social life ruined by his own stupidity and evil. Despite not really knowing what motivates him and why he is who he is, Paul Thomas Anderson's, with some clever tricks, creates a tremendous depth in the protagonist and his destructive actions. Thus frames an epic and grand, not flawless but impressive, modern masterpiece of a movie.
Daniel Planview is a very interesting and nuanced character, primarily thanks to Daniel Days Lewis's legendary role interpretation which may be the foremost of the whole story. Each meaning and gesture is totally unique and skillfully crafted. Paul Dano also makes a brilliant performance as the town priest, by balancing insanity and faith in an unbelievable way.
