A film for anyone who knows a good film when they see one.

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2012)

There Will Be Blood is a movie for anyone who enjoys amazing cinematography, and can relate to a man who dislikes everyone's company. I mean this is in the best possible way of course. Paul Thomas Anderson created a masterpiece of a film set in California in the early 1800s. The cinematography is some of the best I have ever seen. The wonderful California background and breathtaking scenes (like an oil rig being in flames right at sunset) make this film project images you will never forget. Daniel Day-Lewis plays his part perfectly. He is an oil man who worked hard his whole life trying to become rich. One day he is mining alone in the middle of nowhere and his ladder breaks leaving him crippled and alone. This didn't stop him from grabbing some silver he was lucky enough to find and crawling probably miles for help. He will do whatever it takes to make enough money so he can get away from people. That's his goal in life, to become alone. This dark man isn't the normal hero you find in a movie and it makes it very different and hard to recommend to most people. For those who can appreciate a good film, this is a must see. If you are a practicing Christian and sensitive about anti-religion films, then you might be better off passing this one by. As for me, I am an atheist who loves different and wonderfully made films and this is the best one I have ever seen.
