One of the greatest Cinematic Masterpieces of all time

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2008)

There are a certain group of films, films so elite in the quality of their design, production, and originality, that they are remembered in culture as true classic works of art, the masterpieces that will never be forgotten. The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Apocalypse Now, Blade Runner, Fargo, and now, i believe, There Will Be Blood. It is a flawless movie that is expertly crafted and masterfully carried out. The way that the movie is set up in terms of it's music, cinematography, themes, and characters is the definition of memorable. There Will Be Blood sets up a very dark theme with these things, making you think that something terrible will happen. The one, the only problem with this movie is that not enough terrible things happen. There is not enough blood, and so the dark atmosphere set up by the film is not totally justified. But when you are caught up in the mesmerizing characters and performances and lines, you just won't care. A lot of people think this movie is boring, but i'm a 15 year old, who does love all sorts of summer popcorn movies, and There Will Be Blood didn't bore me at all. Just watching the film will give you a little tinge of joy, especially when Daniel Plainveiw is doing his thing. This movie, trust me, is the rightful winner of the 2007 Best Pictur award. It is also right now #58 on the IMDb Top 250. It should be in the teens. See There Will Be Blood, and you will see how great movies can be.
