There Will Be Daniel Day-Lewis |
|
“I’ve abandoned my child! I’ve abandoned my child! I’ve abandoned my boy!” Two days after watching Paul Thomas Anderson’s “There Will Be Blood”, I still find myself replaying Daniel Day-Lewis bellowing out the aforementioned lines over and over in my head. Day-Lewis is absolutely riveting as a self-made oil tycoon in Anderson’s gritty tale of greed, hatred and madness.
I couldn’t help but draw comparisons to Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Shining” while watching this piece. From the terrifyingly unsettling score by Radiohead’s Johnny Greenwood, to the prominent theme of extreme isolation, PTA may have officially established himself as the modern day Kubrick.
Day-Lewis is captivating in his portrayal of ruthless, greed obsessed oil tycoon Daniel Plainview...

There Will Be Respect |
|
Personally I think that this film doesn't get enough respect. It came out in 08' the same time that the Coen Brothers film 'No Country For Old Men' did. 'There Will Be Blood' won a few Oscars including 'Bes Cina' and 'best Actor in a Leading Role.' I think it should have won best picture for the year. It was a higher quality film the 'No COuntry For Old Men.' 'There Will Be Blood' can be bought at Wal Mart for $3 now. LIke I said, it's Oscar winning and that cheap? Eh... The plot of the story is oil mining. They try their best to make money off oil and find out just what kinda job oil mining really is. This is a great film to watch if you have some down time and wanna kick back, realax, and eat some popcorn. Give 'There Will Be Blood' a chance. |

Exraordinary |
|
The most extraordinary film in years, P T Anderson's directing and writing is extraordinary, Daniel (god) Day Lewis's and Paul Dano's performances are extraordinary (as are all the others), Robert Elswit's Cinematography is extraordinary.... the list goes on. People say he's one dimensional, people say its too long, they're wrong. |
