Sit back, drink your milkshake, and enjoy a performance for the ages

Rating: 8/10 (16 September 2010)

Daniel Day Lewis is perfect in this film as Daniel Plainview, a greedy oilman whose only interest in life is to be successful. His performance throughout the movie was great, especially in the baptism scene and in the final scene where he delivers the milkshake dialogue. Paul Thomas Andersons direction in this movie was also excellent as he created one of the best movies of 2007 with excellent cinematography, score, dialogue, editing, and acting (Paul Dano was also very good in his role as Eli). Well deserved Oscar win for Daniel Day Lewis as his performance will leave a lasting impression on the audience (especially win he gets emotional and angry). It was one of my favorite performances for an actor in this century.
