Disappointing

Rating: 1/10 (26 May 2008)

OK, so I've found out people either hate it or love it. Frankly, it's not as great as many people said. I was really bored, falling asleep, for the whole 3 hours. No offense, but it disappointed me very much. The eerie background music keeps on going all the time, building up tension. But i mean, there're highlights of the movie. Why put those kind of music during the whole film? It's really slow, too. people may fall asleep of those long slow-moving moments. By the way, there isn't much dialogs, that's fine to me, though. And it's pretty hard to get the plot. Oil? Blood? Like, it does make sense sometimes, but it's just... weird. When it ends i was like, what?! i don't get it! However, Daniel Day-Lewis did a great job as we can see. He deserves the Oscar. I think he expressed the longing of power, greediness, and regrets of the protagonist very well. I don't quite understand why it won 2 Oscars and got nominated for MANY others as well. I'm sorry for my bad taste in film and my ignorance. But I have to say I didn't enjoy at all. It felt like a waste of time and money. I wish I rent something else today...
