Daniel Day-Lewis MADE Daniel Plainview REAL!

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2008)

After the release of this movie, went to watch it, was mesmerized. It's just one of those types of drama that you keep recalling certain pieces of the characters or hearing the music score. I love the fact that historically as far as the old wooden oil derricks, and how, for example, Standard Oil and others got started are fairly accurate. Parts of the film were filmed in Marfa, TX, so cool, knew it looked familiar. Actors were just wonderful, so different from what was expected, they demonstrated great human qualities; some goodness with a lot of faults as well. Daniel Day-Lewis was just phenomenal, have loved him since Last of the Mohicans, definitely deserving of all accolades.
