Masterpiece.

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2013)

For me, This movie is as near to a masterpiece as anything ever will be.
Let me start off my saying that for me, this is Daniel Day Lewis' performance of his career. He is utterly magnificent. He manages to be so despicable, so horrifying, yet we still see small flickers of love coming from his character.
The story follows Daniel Plainview (played by Daniel Day Lewis) on his journey as a young worker to the successfully terrifying wealthy oil businessman.
The movie is a cinematic masterpiece. It is beautifully shot, scripted, acted, edited, the soundtrack by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood is utterly mesmerizing and hypnotic at times.
The movie starts off relatively slow and tense but have patience with it and you will be rewarded with one of the best movies ever made in my opinion.
10/10 Must watch.
