There Will Be Gushing

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2016)

I feel hyperbolic calling this film perfect but I'm inevitably going to do it anyway.
There will be blood is a snapshot into the equal parts, toxic and the prosperous start of capitalism in the industrialized west, and lays out all the hideous notes it bears. This foray into greed is wonderfully personified by Daniel day lewis' aptly named "Daniel Plainview", who leaves no scenery unchewed.
Whilst I've seen plenty of deconstructions of the systems we live in and capitalism in a number of movies; in varying degrees of subtly, TWBB remarkably manages to take a nuanced look at this old theme. The film pits capitalism and organized (cultish) religion against one another illustrating the uncanny similarities between one another.
It's difficult to summarize this film in a few short words, better suited to a long form writing and in-depth discussion. However, I can say the film's themes of family, corruption, and greed is sound and all the acting is tremendous, although day lewis certainly outperforms Paul Dano, but that's to be expected, It's Daniel Day Lewis.
Amazing character study of the psychology of the oil tycoons of the early 20th century. I cannot say enough good things about it.
