Will go down in history

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2008)

Going into this movie, I did not know what to expect. I assumed it would be another boring historical film with no real artistic value. I could not have been more wrong. From beginning to end, this movie amazed me with is stunning direction, acting, screenplay, and ambiance. It has been a very long time since I saw a movie that stuck with me for such a long time. Both Daniel Day Lewis, and Paul Dano's performances were absolutely unbeatable, and without them, the movie may have suffered. Much like Citizen Kane, I feel that this film will go down in history as one of the best, despite its lack of a "Best Picture" award from the academy. I am proud to say that I live in a time when films like this can be released, and in 50 years, so will everyone else.
