There Will Be Blood

“I AM THE THIRD REVELATION” This film is outstanding. The opening 20 minutes are practically silent yet it is so beautiful. Daniel Day-Lewis’ performance is surreal and so is Paul Dano’s. Both performances were very animated and their characters are perfectly written. When Eli is giving the sermon where he is ridding the devil from the old lady, I was genuinely shocked. I have seen Paul Dano give amazing performances but just this scene alone was his best acting portrayal I have seen. DDL’s performance is insane as well. The scene where he is baptized is the most well known scene from this movie for a reason. Dano and Day-Lewis are beautiful in this scene. I also love the scene where Daniel is speaking to his son towards the end of the film. A beautifully written and performed scene. I thought for his time he got, old H.W. gave an amazing performance. But my favorite scene has to be the last. Everything about that scene is perfect and the performances, again, are outstanding. That final shot too is so beautiful. All in all an outstanding film and is one of my favorite i’ve ever seen.
