Movie Reviews of There Will Be Blood
Movie Review: There` s a competition in me!
Summary: 5 Stars
"There will be blood" is a penetrating analysis about two equally transcendental lines; it's about how an audacious and smart oilman, who explores and makes drillings in search of the devoted black gold, may become when the dreams of ambition and greed transform themselves in ethic values; and how these fatal consequences isolate him from his friends and family; on the other hand we have in contraposition, the religious fervor of a faker who pretends to be the embodiment of a spiritual call.
It's not a mere coincidence the chosen historical period reminds us to the well reminded episode that inspired "Inherit the wind" in which the religious intolerance was represented in a vast portion of the nation.
Daniel Day Lewis once more demonstrates us why he is one the ten best actors in this planet with his spellbinding performance.
A crude and revealing testimonial of forceful transcendence
Movie Review: Great Character Study
Summary: 5 Stars
If you enjoy good cinema, ignore the people complaining that it's long and boring. That's just the opinion of the Transformers crowd who need explosions and everything spelled out for them. Guess what? The West was a vast wilderness without much civilization in some parts and that's just the reality, not slow and boring.
This movie is what I refer to as a slow boil. It takes it's time getting where it's going, but it introduces us to a world that many of us know nothing about. I sure didn't know what the oil speculation business was like a hundred years. The mannerisms, accents, word play, attitudes are all from a unique time that hasn't gotten much of the cinema treatment.
Also, PT Anderson is a wonderful, methodical director who paired himself with a wonderful, methodical actor both who give everything they've got in this pic.
Highly recommended.
Movie Review: this is so stoney....
Summary: 5 Stars
ok, seriously. i'd been waiting awhile to get the chance to watch this one... seemed like it would be a big commitment. ...and it was. this is craziness. the soundtrack/score barrows against itself brilliantly with a vibe that reminded me of "the shinning". with imagery, production, and probably the best actor around on the case, this is a slam dunk. absolute brilliance. the metaphors are thick and show the ironic fight between diluted religeon and money/greed/obsession. i imagine most reviewers that stated this is film is boring are too checked out to understand the intensities and craziness to their human condition and are probably the types to mail it in (their lives). daniel day lewis got the big award for this performance and rightfully so. the rest of the cast holds up their end flawlessly as well. see this...it will blow your hair back.Movie Review: Perhaps Best of All Time
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me start by saying that my wife absolutely hated this movie. I, on the other hand, was, and continue to be, completely engaged by this awe-inspiring Daniel Day Lewis performance. His singular ability to so effectively portray the relentless greed that propelled our country into the 20th century is, IMHO, one of the best acting performances ever. I particularly enjoy the scene where he speaks to a small town about buying its land, only to walk away in frustration ("too much confusion"). His voice is captivating, and his complete metamorphosis into this man is so richly believable. And as brilliant as his acting, we cannot undervalue the director. The camera work was divine. It took serious guts to film the first 15-20 minutes w/o a single word, but that opening scene perfectly set the stage for what was to follow. I can't say enough.Movie Review: May not be the most mainstream film, but a brilliant one
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't think having one negative review on amazon was right so i feel that I should put in my thoughts on this. This film is a brilliant, if unusual character study. The first thing anyone should notice about this film(besides Daniel Day's oscar winning performance) is the soundtrack by Johnny Greenwood. It is easily the best score of the year, and immediately distinguishes this film. The first twenty minutes are without any dialogue, and it is to the score's credit that it engages the audience so much. Then there is Daniel Day Lewis. He enthralls for every second of the film's admittedly long runtime. He is terrifying, funny, and fascinating to watch. Overall this film may not be mainstream, but it is never boring. It was easily one of the top ten films of 2007 and well worth a rental or even a blind buy.
