Allegoric masterpiece

Rating: 8/10 (5 March 2008)

Wow. Let's try to break it down.
The movie deals with the ancient good-vs-evil concept. But what sets it apart is that this evil is not pure evil, and that this good is not pure good either. Fine lines are not drawn in this movie.
Daniel Day-Lewis delivers an impeccable performance, which becomes downright captivating during the haunting final sequence. And Paul Thomas Anderson has a firm grasp on this tough material.
However, that cannot be said for us poor audience. Keep in mind that the movie is an allegory. Read between the lines. I'm still trying to figure it out.
And that my friends is art...
