Good, but slow

Posted : 1 year, 3 months ago at Aug 22 20:32
A nice movie, although very slow, it's a very "dry" movie :D

Atheists and misanthropes will find this movie very funny :D.

It sure deserves the oscars.

There is indeed blood, a miracle on film.

''There are times when I look at people and I see nothing worth liking.'' A story about family, greed, religion, and oil, centered around a turn-of-the-century prospector in the early days of the business in the dawn of the 1900s onwards. Daniel Day-Lewis: Daniel Plainview Now finally onto my review itself. The whole film begins with a form of genius that i have not seen for an age, that bears similarities to Stanley Kubrick's work and 2001:A Space odyssey. I know of no-one else with this unique link from this film which I've hit the nail on the head. It begins with no dialogue and hauntingly awesome music that impacted my senses. The effect throughout the film of the music composition and score had the same mesmerizing hold on me. A scene that stays with me is that t...Read more

There Will Be Boredom

I had heard from numerous sources that this was an "amazing" film and an equal amount of sources that truthfully didn't care much for it. I'll come out and say it now; I'm of the latter faction. I'm not sure it's a fair assessment to say that if one were to denounce this movie that they clearly have no real appreciation for masterpieces and would much rather watch blockbuster hits. It's probably a great film, perhaps one of the great ones even but that doesn't mean I have to like it or enjoy it. I saw the Mona Lisa once and aside from the fact that it was tiny and hidden behind a glass casing, not to mention surrounded by hordes of people, I understood the fact that for some apparent reason I'm not aware of many other people have named it a great piece of art. I can say well "It's dec...Read more

This is a fantastic film. Wonderful imagery, characterisation and film score. Daniel Day-Lewis did an amazing job. The film score is especially stellar, and really captures the action of the film. Everybody who likes quality dramas should see this.

Rating : 10/10

excellent

The story of an oilman, Daniel Plainview.

Splendid performances by Daniel-Day Lewis and Paul Dano, who is very convincing as a preacher.
Beautiful cinematography by Robert Elswit.
My hats off to the producers, who took a risk in producing this film, and to the scriptwriters who did outstanding work in adapting the book Oil by Upton Sinclair - even if they didn't respect the book 100%, the final product is a great movie.

I certainly didn't expect this film to be this excellent. Recommended viewing to all.

One of 2007's best films!

"Drainage! Drainage, Eli, you boy. Drained dry. I'm so sorry. Here, if you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw. There it is, that's a straw, you see? You watching? And my straw reaches acroooooooss the room, and starts to drink your milkshake... I... drink... your... milkshake!" Words cannot do justice to accurately describe this movie; Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood is an unmissable event and without doubt one of the best movies to hit cinemas during 2007. This is another of those masterpieces that separates those who love the blockbusters and those who love good filmmaking. In order to appreciate the movie, you must be in the latter category. Daniel Day-Lewis completely stole the show here; his portrayal is unlike anything I have seen in su...Read more

Great acting

This movie is worth watching just to see Daniel Day-Lewis perform his magic. He is an amazing actor and shows his fantastic skills again. The movie is a little on the long side and moves slowly at times, but it is very well made. This one is for adults only. I don't think the kids will get into this one.

Remember The Hollywood Studio Epics?

Posted : 1 year, 9 months ago at Feb 23 12:34
A movie that hits you like a fever, There Will Be Blood is not the type of story that gets told very often. A multi-layered portrait of all that comes with a desire for power, the film will leave audiences feeling exhausted and with a bitter taste in their mouths. Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, the film is presented in an assured and confident manner. Anderson is the most naturally gifted filmmaker of his generation, a fact that is evident here. Packed with breathtaking shots and scenes of boiling intensity, the movie makes no apologies about its tendency towards the grandeur inherent in telling an epic story that spans decades. Perhaps the first thing that will strike viewers will be the unavoidable use of images that comes naturally when setting a story in the old west. However, An...Read more
