There Will Be Bad Music This was a fantasy film, as with most Daniel Day-Lewis films. However, at times I nearly had to turn off the sound because I found the music score was the worst I had ever heard. That would include ALL Ed Wood films and the music of The New World. Not sure what the music director was trying to accomplish, it did NOT work.
Don't waste your time, seriously This movie really never goes anywhere with the plot. I want my 3 hours back.
Summary: A man who really doesn't like anyone pisses off everyone. The End.
Wow. This movie was truly amazing. The gritty acting, the writing, the camera work--everything was spot on perfect! The movie depicts the rise of a California oil barron, starting from discovering his oil well. The acting by Lewis was just amazing! I strongly recommend this movie to you. It can be a bit slow--it is a drama and has the pace of something like Castaway, although there is much more dialog in There Will Be Blood.
Blew me away! This movie had me hooked from the very beginning. Daniel Day Lewis did (as he always does) a spectacular job and deserved his Oscar in every way for his work in this film.
His character is an ambitious oil seeker and has a heart that is just as black as the oil itself. I was in awe of how Daniel Day Lewis brought his character to life and I found myself in his world, unable to get out yet thankful I truly wasn't in it.
"There Will Be Blood" was almost a book on film, that's how moving and gripping I found it. So graphic and yet so simply done. A great movie that in my opinion was robbed of the Oscar.
