A tale of madness and greed.

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2013)

There Will Be Blood may be one of the best movies made in the 2000's. Paul Thomas Anderson's directing is a masterpiece, and Daniel Day-Lewis' portrayal of Daniel Plainview should be considered the 8th Wonder of the World. If you ask me, this movie should have taken the award of Best Picture at the 80th Anniversary of the Oscars. This movie is just unbelievably breathtaking from beginning to end. I myself just finished watching it for the 5th time a few days ago, and to me that movie will never ever get old. For someone who has not seen this movie, I highly recommend it as long as you are not bored easily and care more about the characters and dialog rather than a magnificent storyline and persisting action.Paul Thomas Anderson is one of the great directors of our time. He has to be mentioned in the line up with Tarantino, the Coens, Darren Arronofsky, and in my opinion, even Scorcese. With P.T.A holding 3 of the 5 spots in my "Top Five Favorite Movies" list with: Magnolia, There Will Be Blood, and The Master, it's easy to tell that he is my favorite director and that is why i am praising this movie so highly. Just the way that he uses his camera angles and ability to direct his actors are both astounding. Paul Dano should have at least been nominated as Best Supporting Actor, with his role as Eli Sunday, if not have won it. I give full credit to this movie turning me into the movie lover that I am today.
