Excellent All Around!

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2012)

Dark, Depressing and Thought-Provoking, This Masterpiece is based on an extremely Shrewd, Powerful, Terrifying performance of a complicated character perfected by an extraordinary Daniel Day-Lewis who has given one of the best performance of the decade, along with excellent direction by an extremely talented Paul Thomas Anderson,who has also done a great job in the screenplay of the story, There Will Be Blood is a real Dark Masterpiece on an extremely complicated character perfected by Day-Lewis and through sheer hard and excellent work by Director Paul Thomas Anderson.
The Story of the movie is quite Unique, about an Oil Prospector named Daniel Plainview, and how he gets obsessed with Money,Power and Greed after getting to know he can get hold of all the important oil mines in the country,while alienating friends and making his relationship with all the ''friends or family' he has in his way to being rich and in his continued obsession of money and power. Quite An Unique and terrifying character showing us about how the oil dealers really were and what greed of money and power can do to a Human Being.
Well I Really Don't Know what I have to say of Day-Lewis's performance here. He is just quite extraordinary in his role of Daniel Plainview, which is an extremely complicated and difficult character to portray, but he has done an excellent job in perfecting the role of this character, and his acting is just top class throughout the movie, at times it really overshadows the other things in the movie, and this really has to be one of the best performances of the decade and one of the most powerful I Have Seen In My Life. Paul Dano is also extremely good in his character of Paul Sunday who is a priest, and his character is just the opposite of Plainview's character, and their chemistry is just sparkling. Dano has done his character justice by giving a really great performance. The Other actors in the movie(specially the child of Plainview) have also done a really good job in making this movie an extremely well acted and portrayed film.
Absolutely Sublime Work from Paul Thomas Anderson in this movie, and this was also his debut work, and he has done an amazing job in showing the life and rise of Daniel Plainview perfectly, so well that at times I was thinking i was in the characters time and not in the 21st century! He really has done the movie justice by perfecting the direction, helping the inexperienced actors specially Dano give excellent performances, helping the staff in their work, and he really is a excellent director and needs to be appreciated. Top Marks to him for making such an excellent film.
The Story Written by Upton Sinclair is quite excellent and unique,and he has done a great job in describing how Greed,Money and Power can do things to a Human Being(here being Daniel Plainview) and how he can do such terrible and dirty things to achieve what he really wants. Paul Thomas Anderson has done an extremely good job in the screen writing of the movie, and he really is multi-talented! The Cinematography in the movie is just sublime! The Cinematographer has done an amazing job in showing the times of Plainview and I was practically blown away by some of the breathtaking scenes in the movie! Top Marks to him! The Music throughout the movie is excellent and keeps the atmosphere in the movie in check, and top marks to John Greenwood in giving an excellent background score to the movie,specially the music in the ending credits.
Well I Really cant understand why This was only appreciated for its acting and cinematography, this is really a near perfect film and Paul Thomas Anderson needed to get more accolades for this, but anyways in my books this will remain an extremely powerful film and superb bio-pic based on a extremely complicated and shrewd character, and I recommend it to every good movie lover.
