There Will Be Blood
As expected, Daniel Day-Lewis executes with arguably the greatest performance ever, with PTA delivering an encapsulating and exciting film about ambition, greed and capitalism. I will always love an obsessive lead who will stop at nothing to get what they want and with DDL showing us a true embodiment of selfishness, hate, and greed; it was bound to be masterful. Everybody in this film brought an insane performance to the table, with Paul Dano absolutely taking over at certain moments. The portrayal of religion and how it’s used for success is such a reflection of real-life instances, especially with how they use people’s faith for monetary gain. Everything about this movie from the acting, pacing, cinematography, and script was near perfection. Wow.
Also… that sound design with the oil eruptions were fantastic.
