There WILL Be Blood-FAN

I went and saw There Will Be Blood and loved it. The genre is of a new kind of western. Going in I heard people say it was way too long and the plot line didn't move.

WRONG- Daniel Day-Lewis portrayal of Daniel Plainview was stellar and the chemistry between him and his young son H.W Plainview (played by Dillon Freasier) is truly genuine. The film is somewhat of a biblical type tale being told through the eyes of a "sinner". It was amazing to watch Daniel Day-Lewis transform from a man with nothing in the beginning of the movie, then little by little builds steam through wealth and his job as a man who establishes oil rigs. Day-Lewis gains so much wealth and power by the end of the film, he loses his mind and turns mad. The film is also complimented by the Preacher (Paul Dano) and a cast of delightful characters. This movie is a great example of a "new western" and has all the elements that can make you laugh, cry and feel a bevy of emotions. The violence is subtle happening within a blink of an eye in most cases. After all, there will be blood...

For this movie I give 4 STARS of 5 and a FAN rating..

Here's the synopsis provided by yahoo.com "movies":





An epic tale of family, faith, power and oil set on the incendiary frontier of California's turn-of-the-century petroleum boom. The story chronicles the life and times of one Daniel Plainview, who transforms himself from a down-and-out silver miner raising a son on his own into a self-made oil tycoon. When Plainview gets a mysterious tip-off that there's a little town out West where an ocean of oil is oozing out of the ground, he heads with his son, H.W., to take their chances in dust-worn Little Boston. In this hardscrabble town, where the main excitement centers around the holy roller church of charismatic preacher Eli Sunday, Plainview and H.W. make their lucky strike. But even as the well raises all of their fortunes, nothing will remain the same as conflicts escalate and every human value--love, hope, community, belief, ambition and even the bond between father and son--is imperiled by corruption, deception and the flow of oil.
