Movie Reviews of There Will Be Blood (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: Business vs. Church: A Slippery Bout
Summary: 5 Stars
Daniel Day-Lewis is Daniel Plainview, a simple oil man. He started off very rough, alone dealing with the discomfort and pain of digging holes in order to obtain the lubricating riches of Texas tea. As his business began to grew, he received a tip that would have him drilling for oil in a desolate village where he has to associate, nay, negotiate with devoted Christians like a claimed prophet named Eli Sunday (Paul Dino) in order to accomplish his mission. He treated this business like a family business, as seen with his son H.W. Plainview, but he never felt so isolated. Like business, his own greed has grown, becoming mean and distrusting others, even his own kin; turns out he's not really a simple man. Spanning over 20 years in the early 1900s, it's a progress of Daniel being a wealthy oil businessman but so has his cold self-being, and what can be said of the aftermath is this..." There Will Be Blood."
There are a lot of positive things to say about his role (Oscar-worthy; marvelous; captivating), but it's easy to say Day-Lewis is the right man for this character. Day-Lewis is known for being a picky actor, but he usually makes the right choice on film roles, and he certainly made a great one here, for his role entices on brutal charisma. Daniel Plainview was selfish, deceitful & malevolent and Day-Lewis brought these characteristics to the film with such depth that it's not easy to hate the character. He also has this intimidating aura that even when he doesn't lift a finger, his presence can be threatening.
"There Will Be Blood" is simply great, no way around it. Director P.T. Anderson crafted a visceral delight unlike his early multi-character films, emphasizing on only one person to carry the weight for about 2 1/2 hours. It's a long film, but the main character constantly brings something new to the table, whether it's negotiating for his business or being baptized for buying land; it doesn't feel like the film drags. Other than Day-Lewis, the rest of the cast are pretty good. Not sure about Paul Dino as the preacher, but I think he pulled it off, as is the kid who played H.W. Plainview who grew up with his share of unfortunates. The film looks as beautiful as it is ugly; I like the locations and the sight of the workers in those large oil drilling devices incorporates the danger and grittiness this film shows.
Much praise has to be said about the movie's eerie score. When I saw the movie's trailer, it was the score that made me want to see this film, and Jonny Greenwood made great use of stringed instruments to make the movie sound periodic and menacing. From the beginning of the film, the music heightens itself to a point of shock; I knew from then I was in for a messy film, and the music accurately fits the film's tone. I think the score is more terrifying than the movie itself.
What surprised me the most about this movie is its rating, because despite being R-rated for violence and being an otherwise brutal film, there is hardly any graphic violence. Most of the violent parts appear accidental, and one scene regarding a use of a handgun isn't as bad as you see in a PG-13 action film. In fact, the only graphic scene worthy of this movie's rating is the last scene of the film, and personally, it made a symbolic point of this movie's themes. In a field of enterprise and religion, there's never room for both of them and the sins of trade can never be lost to faith. And that whoever came up with the movie title has a sense of humor.
