A beautifully unique and original movie

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2010)

these words say it all :)
Almost to often, it happens to me that I tend to forget the names of the characters in the movies I watch. In this case, it was completely different...thanks to the stunning performance from Daniel Day Lewis who I really think deserved the Oscar more than ever. Because of him I've got the name Daniel Plainview stuck into my head and not to mention that the idea of drinking someone else's milkshake might be a good idea... Apart from Daniel Day Lewis's acting brilliance, the movie on it's own was really good and most important...very original and unique.
The directing and cinematography was beautiful and the story good.
Having said all that...I came to the conclusion after buying this film and watching it, that if you take a director such as Paul Thomas Anderson and an actor like Daniel Day Lewis and make them do a story about oil-business, greed and selfishness...you get a masterpiece such as There Will Be Blood!
I haven't given any movie a perfect 10 because in my opinion, no movie is perfect, but this one definitely snatches the 9.
