There Will Be Blood

I am pleased to announce a movie I enjoyed. I don't want to spoil any of it, so I'll just blurb and recommend it.




There Will be Blood is about Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day Lewis) as a prospector in the late 1800s and the movie chronologically shows events that depict his misanthropic greed, and quest for money. The disturbing look at a man's psyche as he uses others to get ahead, is done so well here.

The pacing, the scenery and the acting in the movie is superb. Paul Thomas Anderson delivers once again! I highly recommend the movie both for its historical relevance (and modern comparisons can be made too) and the fact it's just good on all counts.

I couldn't figure out why the guy was so bitter all his life.

Think he was just nuts. He really hated people.
