Great acting & Poor storyline

Rating: 6/10 (14 September 2013)

I just finished watching this movie and i feel disappointed. For me the 1st part was very interesting. It was a great portrayal of the turn of the century. I loved the music & the powerful acting. However its just that. Nothing more. Film is art & the whole point of making a film is to convey a message. This films is making no point really. You have the main character Daniel who's having psychotic episodes from to time without explanation or background for this kind of behavior.. maybe it was alcohol.. maybe he's just crazy.. who knows..
I would give a 10 to the first part of the film (until the accident) and a 5 to the rest. Its one of those films thats made only to produce powerful acting and to that extend its a success. I call them Oscarish films. So watch the 1st part, get an idea of the beginnings of the oil business & the great acting & save yourself from a wasted hour or so (the remaining film)
