There Will Be Blood

Daniel Day Lewis gave one of the best acting performances I have seen. Sometimes men hootin and hollerin is indeed good acting. However it’s one of those movies that gets its value from deep messages and not straight up “entertainment”. What I enjoyed about this movie is that it ironically gets a lot of themes from some of my favorite pieces of media, Breaking Bad and Red Dead Redemption. Daniel has so many parallels to Walter White, and the turn of the century story centered on capitalism, greed, and honor in a society with shifting values is so similar to Red Dead Redemption.
