THERE WILL BE BLOOD (2007)
.
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson .
Saw this for the first time yesterday.......Jesus Christ. .
There Will Be Blood is the story of Daniel Plainview, an Oil Man, and his rise to power. He drills oil, is great at speaking, is far from religious, hates people, loves to succeed, loves to watch others fail, and is incredibly manipulative. .
This is gonna be an odd comparison so bare with me: this felt similar, for me, to Boyhood. Not necessarily the film itself, but the feeling I had watching this was exact to the feeling I had watching Boyhood. I thought with both, this movie is a masterpiece, that I'll probably never watch again. It's nearly 3hrs long and its very noticeable while watching. But when you look at it as a whole, Its absolutely incredible. Daniel Day Lewis is a god of an actor. He, as Daniel Plainview, I think is, or at least one of, the best performances of all time. Paul Dano is extremely creepy in this. Dillon Freasier, who played Daniel Plainview's son, was SO good and his story in this was so heartbreaking. From the head hit his life starts going downhill and when the train scene happens and abandonment happens is when I started to hate Daniel Plainview. Which if your supposed to by the end, and I think you are, the movie made you slowly disagree, then dislike, then truly hate Daniel Plainview by the end and it did a great job at it. Although I did love him in that final bowling alley shot and that confrontation with Eli was perfection. "I am a false prophet and God is a superstition!" I also loved the score so much, and It just gives the feel of the insidious slow turn to crazy. The cinematography was great and especially the scene of the burning oil site was complete eye porn. I knew from the first 15 minutes of no dialogue as Daniel Plainview climbs out that oil well after falling and breaking his leg, that this movie was gonna be great. Overall, Daniel Day Lewis. .
There Will Be Blood gets an: A+
