MCT:May 13, 2008
Daniel Day-Lewis pulls off the performance of a lifetime as Daniel Plainview, a man whose greed and envy takes him from humble beginnings as a down-and-out prospector to fame and fortune as a self made "oil man". But what motivates him is not as simple as a quest for the wealth. Plainview is a man consumed by greed, envy and malice towards his fellow human beings. We watch as he murders, cheats and abandons his adopted son all in an attempt to drain the earth dry, to "drink it up" as he puts it. Day-Lewis's acting here is simply titanic, as he breaths so much vitality and emotional depth into his character. Indeed, he makes There Will Be Blood the most convincing character study since Raging Bull.
Plainview has his foil in Paul Dano's character Eli Sunday, a fanatical preacher who maintains a parasitic hold over his flock in Little Boston. The entire story is driven along by the conflict between these two strong-willed characters and all the best scenes occur when they clash. This film almost boasts some fantastic shots, especially the ones showing the rigs belching oil and fire onto the barren hills and fields surrounding them. As other reviewers have mentioned, the soundtrack is the only drawback. In general it works but there are times when it needlessly clutters up the scene.
The obvious comparison to There Will Be Blood is Scarface. Both Tony Montana and Plainview rise from nothing while raging at the world around them. But while Scarface is a blood drenched exhibition, There Will Be Blood is more subtle and insular in how it portrays its main character's moral downfall, a downfall which progresses until his heart is as black as his oil. Nevertheless, he to lived the American Dream, with a vengeance. -

Very well made movie, great characters and dialog. This movie made me want to hate myself and everyone around me. In a good way.

MCT said he would have had made a better title. After seeing the whole movie, I firmly disagree. The title works both ways: The blood of the Lamb of God and the blood shed by Lewis in the film. It is ironic, too, because obviously Lewis' character does not believe, only is "saved" to benefit his own agenda. An excellent film and the kind of character study for anyone who wants to get into acting.

Rotten tomatoes so far has given there Will Be Blood an 100% fresh rating, some saying it's P.T Anderson's best work which means a lot considering he directed Magnolia.

I don't know Cody Franklin, but he sounds like a pretty smart guy and I agree with him 100%. On the other hand, he seems like a dusche.
