A true madness story.

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2009)

I am going to ask myself one question. Where was I in the year of 2007. I only saw a few Oscar nominated films of that year I saw American gangster, Sweeney Todd, and that is all that I can think of. See, I think that is sad. Well, on this recent Black Friday, I went out and bought There will be blood for only three dollars. I know it's cheap. I had wanted to see it for a while but I never could. So I bought it, expecting something great. I wasn't disappointed. It's a true madness story at it's best.
Daniel Day Lewis stars in his Oscar winning role as Daniel Plainview, an oil prospector who is asked by Paul Sunday(Paul Dano) to help him out with oil in his town. So, Daniel and his son do it, and their lives are ruined.
Paul Dano stars as both Paul Sunday, a quiet man, and Eli Sunday. Dano doesn't really do much with Paul. But Eli is another story. Eli is a psycho minister who's religious sermons will be bound to creep you out. He's an A-hole too. Luckily, Mr. Sunday gets what he deserves.
The performances in this film are fantastic. Especially from Dano and Lewis. Of course, because they are the only really famous people in the film. The film is dramatic, serious, and at times, kind of scary. Dano creeps me out. Along with the music that they play throughout the film. That kind of scared me too. This film sure is long, but damn it's worth it. I feel stupid for not seeing No country for old men. I do. I feel stupid for seeing this film so late. Daniel Day Lewis deserved the Oscar. He was great. As is this film. There will we blood, to me, sounded like a Saw film. No it ain't a Saw film. Far from it. It's a story of true madness. It shows the true madness in people. And There will be blood is a film that you can never forget. It's just great.
