One of PT's best, a lesson in great filmmaking

Rating: 9/10 (20 September 2016)

Well what can I say? There Will Be Blood is one of the best films I have ever watched. The film is primarily about ideas on capitalism and core ideas on human nature; greed, jealousy, ambition, family relationships. Everything works together to create this masterpiece; the music; a brilliant score, one of the greats of contemporary film music. The cinematography; each shot composed with poignancy; it makes your eyes water. Finally, the acting, Daniel Day Lewis as a greedy oil-man; what more to say? This film is epic but in a restrained sense, on first viewing you may not feel there is any obvious climax in the film but then you look again...?
Watch it if you haven't already.
