Pointless movie

Rating: 4/10 (8 August 2010)

This is the first movie at which I laughed at the ending. I thought it was hilarious how the preacher got killed for hardly any reason and then Daniel Day-Lewis looked like he was thinking "what the hell am I doing?"
This is actually what happens during the whole movie. It's just random events happening and Daniel Day-Lewis dealing with them in very strange ways. For example when Daniel's son goes deaf he just decides to leave him and later in the movie they get back together as if nothing happened.
I think that this movie is just a product of hype. There is nothing about this movie that can be called a masterpiece. The story is boring and pointless, the characters aren't interesting, the music is dreadful and the acting isn't that good, especially from Paul Dano who I think should have won a Razzie for his terrible performance. As for Daniel Day-Lewis I think that he is an average actor who only tries to copy other actors instead of acting in his own way.
