A Perfect Example of an Ensemble Performance

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2014)

From the beginning of this film you are taken to this quiet isolated field of nothingness then the musical score kicks in. Then you get the sense that it might be a horror movie but it isn't. It's about this man who wants to rise from poverty and does all this monstrous things. The first part of this film has no dialogue, there's just the musical score and scenes of his early life that is perfectly well blended and well paced. This movie is like a guide for young actors and actresses on how to utilize the environment and mix things up with their style of acting. The acting is really clever here. Daniel Day-Lewis gives his best performance. In the end you'd see why he turned into such a monster. The story is not your typical success story, it's more realistic and murky. How things might not pan out the way you want it to be. In conclusion this movie is perfect for anyone who appreciates cinema and it's surely a must for any film goers out there.
