Amazed

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2008)

I went to go see this film on a whim. It was playing right down the street, I was bored, I had $10, I decided to go see it. I had heard of "There Will Be Blood", but nothing more than a short trailer on TV. The first 15 minutes of the film made me realize this was something special. There is an unexplainable air around this film, it slowly brings you in little by little. The shots, the acting, the feel of the film is simply unique. Honestly I do not know what else to write, I am still in Anderson's trance. All I can say is "go see it, just go, now!" I have been on the fence whether or not to continue pursuing a degree in film, asking myself if I have what it takes, if I have the right voice. This film reminded me that amazing and original movies still exist. "There Will Be Blood" is definitely one of them.
