There Will Be Blood

Aivaras_Z

"I am a false prophet, God is a superstition." Epic performance by Day-Lewis. Loneliness of a god, the cutting of emotional relations and degradation that it brings, are themes that do not become too unbearable or annoying throughout the movie.

As an epic, there will be blood is dripping with innovative ideas but as a character study, it's imperfect. We learn so much about who Daniel Plainview is, from his initial hatred of humanity to his final descent into loner hell, but virtually nothing about why. His motivations are left blank. We never get to see the humanity in Daniel Plainview or lack of humanity in him. But when the film works, it really works.

The performance by Daniel Day Lewis has, deservedly, already become legendary

Scottie Ferguson

Both a brilliant character study about the rise and fall of an irrevocably evil man and a beautifully grand film of vast ambition. A masterpiece and one of the best films of the 21st Century.

Justin Kane

An ending that is as risky and original as any ending I've ever seen. The theme and the pace of the film somehow remind me of McCabe and Mrs. Miller which also had an amazing ending. Daniel Day Lewis gives one of the spookiest performances ever. I truly cannot wait for Anderson's next picture, whatever that may be.

I love this film! The acting is superb! The music from Johnny Greenwood is probably the best score ive heard in a while! P.T. is at THE top of his game!

music for this film is splendidl. it wont let it become one of those puritan sagas,oozing with `ancient wisdom`,boasting the classical motif of the `human authenticity` that evaporated at the dawn of the 20th century.like the voice of an uncompromising narrator,the music,subtle and vigilant,keeps the drama tight and won`t let it slip into a false historical perspective, providing excuses for characters` behaviour.

It's like reading Phillip Roth's American Pastoral on wide-screen (my TV box) added the hazy-drip contemplative-Hollywood-cut-cinematography and the ultra-gorgeous sound-track and post-modern music score.The story is a basic Americana's tale of greed-redemption but shooting and editing brilliantly. It's as good and human as any masterworks of John Ford (don't throw rocks at me, i'm still tripping on it, lol).
