Great acting, an interesting story and setting, but the meaning is not entirely clear, except money do not always bring happiness

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 2018)

The acting in this movie is great, especially from main character Daniel (actor Daniel Day-Lewis). He was really good at portraying the character and emotions, I hadn't seen anything like that for a while.
The scenes in this movie are quite special, they are longer and more improvised. There are a lot of scenes where nothing really happens, but they just show the world and characters for an extended time, longer than in other movies.
The story about oil is good and teaches a lot about that industry and early 20th century, so it was interesting.
No one really understands this movie entirely, from what I've seen on the web, but it is clear that it depicts a man in pursue of money and unfortunately it still doesn't bring him happiness. He wanted more and more and was doing more and more mistakes. He started drinking a lot and going crazy and wanted to eliminate any opponents.
Main point is that money won't always bring happiness and in this movie it is shown quite logically and very clearly. Also success takes time. He started from the bottom and after years and years he became a millionaire.
So don't rush!
