Well, there was blood so the movie delivered.

Rating: 10/10 (6 September 2015)

Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis) is a man of competition, greed, family, and of course oil. Daniel starts off as an ordinary prospector and ends up a millionaire. This movie shows his greedy evolution as he buys land uses it and becomes more and more greedy, while at the same time becoming more and more wealthy. The end of this movie was particularly powerful. I won't spoil it but wow. This really had me thinking for a long time. All the other actors of course do great and make the movie what it is, but by far the biggest thing about the movie is Daniel. It's his movie, and he's in almost every scene. It shows his evolution as well as the evolution of those around him. Not to mention Day-Lewis gives a monumental performance in this movie. The movie also contains lot's of long moments without dialog and work to put the atmosphere of the movie together. The movie is epic. It's an amazing narrative into the rise of a 1910s oil man.
