Here is My Movie Review of There Will Be Blood

Now when it comes to this movie a lot of people say this is what the best movies of all time and one of the best movies of 2007 and I can definitely agree with that because this one is My second favorite film of 2007 my favorite film of 2007 is still no country for old men that one is still the best film of that year. But this film is Surprisingly really realistic and turned off its tone and themes surrounding the characters. 

Now the storyline is incredible because we focus on this guy named Daniel Planview Who is this evil oil tycoon who wants to search for oil and little Boston and to do that he finds this kid named H.W. And together they meet these two twin brothers named Paul and Eli Sunny and they strike a deal saying we can get you as much money as you can if you help us find more oil and everything starts to go well Until Daniel Plainview’s son goes deaf due to The building that is holding the oil explodes and he starts to resent his father because it turned out that he was just using him to steal more oil and get more money so it's up to Daniel Plainview to try to find more oil and try to get Eli Sonny to give him hundreds of dollars So he can draw the one final place that has oil then he'll be rich. That is basically what the story is for this film. I have to say the storyline is not only perfect but it's also a super realistic because it really there are people who are oil tycoons who enjoy destroying land to find oil so they can make a profit and make ton the money and it's pre-disturbing and messed up and the film executes that evil and very Sinister agenda that oil tycoons actually have in real life. 

Now as much as I like the story the best thing about this movie is hands down the performance and this is probably up there with No Country For Old Men as one of the best acted films of 2007. Also you can tell that all the actors are having a lot of fun as these characters. 

But of course we have to talk about the big star of the film Daniel Day-Lewis who plays our main villain of the film Daniel Plainview. This has got to be one of the scariest and one of the most mesmerizing performances that Day-Lewis has ever given you going to tell he's just relishing in the fact that he's playing This vile and disgusting asshole of a character that even though he is just acting you can kind of believe that Daniel Day Lewis would be this horrible and disgusting person because of how scary he lures you in with his performance That's how realistic his performance is in the film. Now the character of Daniel Plainview and without doubt the most vile and one of the most disgusting characters in the entire film because this guy's just a straight up asshole he doesn't care about anybody he manipulates  H.W. Plainview is to help him destroy little Boston so they can steal oil and make a lot more money and become rich and he doesn't care who lives or dies as long as he gets a lot of money and destroys the land by taking all the oil from it. Not to mention he uses H.W. to make himself look like a family man because it turned out that H.W Plainview is not Daniel Plainview’s son he was actually somebody else's kid but the mother died of childbirth so Daniel playing the new kidnapped the child and raised them to be his own son to appear more normal to hide the fact that he is evil. Also there are moments where Daniel Plainview would raise his voice and when he does it is downright scary because you never know what he's going to do one minute he can act very calm and the next minute he would scream at the top of his lungs and threaten to kill someone if they didn't listen to him. The scenes with Daniel Plainview are probably some of the most dark and some of them must messed up moments of the entire film such as the scene where he Tells Paul that h.w is his actual son and he's trying to make a deal with him so they can find more places to steal oil from so they can become rich. Also The scene where Daniel Plainview brutally beats Eli Sonny with a bowling pin and cracks his head open is really messed up because he got mad because Eli refused to help him find the last spot that has oil to become rich. It does lead to some really dark and really some messed up moments in the film.  Also much like Anton Chauger  from no country for all men Daniel Plainview also wins at the end of the film he succeeds in destroying Little Boston. The chemistry between him and Paul Dano, Dillon Freasier, and  Ciaran Hinds is perfect. 

Now let's talk about Paul Dano. Now look, he is a tremendous actor. He has given some awesome and really amazing  performances in films like The Batman, Swiss Army Man, Okja. Even his small role in Prisoners was really good in that film. Now in this film Paul Daniel also gives a magnificent performance because he's playing a dual role. He plays two twin brothers named Paul and Eli Sunny and he does a tremendous job as both of these characters. Now these two characters are very different now Paul does not play a big role in the film but he is still a piece of shit he agrees to help Daniel Plainview and his son H.W Plainview find oil on the land and steal it so they can become rich. The scenes With Paul are really interesting and really entertaining like when he meets Daniel and his son H.W. and they strike a deal and they agree to help each other find the oil or him Trying to find oil from for Daniel and his son it does lean to some really dark and really creepy moments throughout the film. Now his twin brother eli Sunny is completely different to be honest this is the only character that you can actually feel somewhat bad for because I said someone because he's still a piece of shit he's still bad Because he agrees to help Daniel Plainview and his son find oil and get rich But you feel bad for him because Daniel Plainview treating him like shit yelling at him threatening him if he doesn't help him and his son find the oil and also  beats the shit out of him if he does do what he has told. The scenes with Eli Sunny are probably some of the most disturbing and some of the most brutal moments in the film whether it's him trying to tell Daniel Plainview that he can't get the last piece of land for oil or him begging Daniel Plainview to stop hitting him with the bowling pin and even the scene of him Trying to get the devil out of Daniel Plainview because he believes that he is possessed by the devil and believe that he can make Daniel Plainview good and it does lead to some really scary and horrifying moments throughout the film. The chemistry between him and Daniel Day-Lewis is tremendous. 

Dillon Freasier plays Daniel Plainview’s son young H.W. Plainview In the film and here's the interesting thing this is the only movie he had ever acted in and for this being his only movie his performance is still terrific you can tell that he is having a lot of fun as the character.  Now the character of Young H.W. Plainview Is interesting because even though he's nowhere near as evil as his dad he is still a bad because he follows his dad ordered he want to be rich just like him and together they tried to bribe people to help them steal the oil from Little Boston and get a lot of money so they could become rich and powerful. The scenes with young H.W. Plainview is incredible whether it's him meeting Paul for the first time in him and his dad telling him to help them find oil to make more money or or him meaning Mary Sunday for the first time it does lead to some really nail biting and really suspenseful moments in the film. The chemistry between him and Daniel Day-Lewis is extraordinary. 

Now Ciaran Hinds doesn't play a huge role in this film but for what he does have. He does a terrific job as  Fletcher Hamilton. Now the character of Fletcher Hamilton is essentially Daniel Plainview’s helper who helps him search for oil so they can steal it and get more money and become rich. The scenes with Fletcher Hamilton are really entertaining whether it's him telling Daniel Planeview the locations of where to find oil or him telling H.W. PlaneView  that he does have a family and it does lead to some really powerful and suspenseful moments in the film. The chemistry between him and Daniel Day-Lewis is incredible. 

However the best thing about this movie is the directing by Paul Thomas Anderson because why I love about his directing that he does a terrific job of I'm showing the dark time of 1898 where evil oil Tycoons to destroy land and drill for oil for money and what's really scary is that there are real oil Tycoons out there still that do that evil thing where they go to someone's land and drill it from oil so they can get rich And I think he did a glorious job of showing how vile and disgusting those types of people are because they don't care about life they don't care about getting rich and destroying the environment. I also like how he shows the evil and the downright Despicable nature of Danielle plainview because this This guy is a monster he's just a Fall on asshole who doesn't care about anything except getting rich and unlike villains Dreyfus from Dawn of Plant of the Apes, killmonger from Black Panther. Daniel Plainview And the guy that you're supposed to despise and not feel sorry for and I think he did a glorious job of making you hate him Because again He is accurate to real life oil tycoons that still exist today. I also like The cinematography that he used because it looks really dark and just matches the 1800s aesthetic of the oil erupting from the ground and people's lands being destroyed. So I think he did a glorious job with the cinematography. So overall I think he did a terrific job directing this film. 

So in conclusion I still really love this movie because of the storyline of having it revolve around this evil oil tycoon named Daniel Plainview Who manipulates H.W Plainview By pretending to be his father  to pretend to be a family man. so they can destroy little Boston and steal the oil and become really rich manipulating other people into helping them find more oil and destroying the land. To be honest it's probably the most realistic story in a film because in real life there are evil oil tycoons that drill for oil so they can steal it and become rich and destroy the land. I also love how the film tackle the subject of evil and corrupt oil tycoons are how they don't care about anyone but themselves and how much money they can make by stealing a bunch of oil in one land So they can become rich and I love how the film takes it really seriously because It is a very hard subject to talk about because there are people who have gone through Having their land destroyed by oil tycoons I love how this film takes it really seriously. The performances are amazing especially from Daniel Day Lewis as Daniel Plainview who probably gives were the scariest performances of the entire film because one minute he'll be really calm but the next make  would raise his voice. Also I still think this performance is up there with Javier Bardem’s performance in no country for all men at one of my favorite villain performances of 2007.Also Paul Dano gives a really awesome and terrific performance as the twin brothers  Paul and Eli Sunny. Also I love this and photography and the music actually makes this look like a horror movie, Also I like haunting and creepy music throughout the film. I still think this movie is up there with no country for all men with Javier Bardem as one of my favorite films of 2007. I highly recommend you watch this film especially if you like dark and nail biting films like Killers of The Flower Moon with Robert De Niro. Then I'm sure you're going to like this one. I give this movie a 10/10.
