There Will Be Blood

[philkilla]

Just watched last night. Thought it was awesome.

Anyone else seen this? It has it's slow moments, but I was entertained. My chain-blunt smoking roomies had problems keeping up though.


Daniel-Day Lewis is an intense actor, and he truly is a fucking madman in this movie.

Alan told me you guys were watching it, and I hadn't even heard of it. I'll have to check it out.

I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!

I DRINK IT UP!!

My favorite part of that movie is that last scene

Spoiler

Where he makes Eli say "I am a false prophet and god is a superstition" like he's giving a sermon and then tells him theres no oil left, followed of course by the MILKSHAKE! bit.

I was suprised at how well the movie was done. Hilarious movie.

I'VE ABANDONED MY BOY!!!!

 

[PlagueX1]

The plot was depressing and watching all of that movie wanted to make me kill myself. Needless to say, I hated it.

"I'm finished" ... I love the look on the butlers face. But hey, he said he would bury him

I could watch lewis' character forever. So intense, so awesome. I've watched this movie 3 times now. And if you can take a break from the paying attention to the acting, the cinematography is gorgeous.

Incredible film, very powerful, you don't just watch There Will Be Blood, you experience it.

Daniel Day Lewis is as always just so far beyond anyone else out there in terms of acting, quite easily one of the most powerful actors alive. He was terrific in Gangs of New York as well, which mightn't have been that great a film, his presence made it worth well watching.

 

[The Dark Wolf]

Times fifty kajillion. Wholeheartedly agree.

I thought this movie was so, so, so, so badass.

Daniel Day Lewis is beyond talented. He is so fucking good. That last scene is so crazy, so powerful. I've never seen a better performance, anywhere.

Even the creepy preacher was fan-fucking-tastic.

So true.

I'm a film freak and this film left me
Wow. I've been waiting for a while to be "hit" like that by a movie (i'm f*cking picky when it comes to my movies choices).
What a film. A freakin' masterpiece.
PT Anderson: Epic win. I love all of his films.
Daniel Day Lewis: he deserves his Best Actor Oscar x100. A grandiose performance. Probably one (or another one of his) of the best 50 ever imo.

I really enjoyed this film. It was really really well done and Daniel Day Lewis did an amazing job in his role. Just breath-taking. Excellent film.

And, yeah, the milkshake part at the end had me laughing.

I don't know if any of you have read the book, but this is one of the only movies that absolutely blew the book out of the water. I re-read it just to be sure.

I haven't read Oil, but kinda want to now. How close is the book to the movie, at least in terms of the story?

I loved TWBB, Daniel Day Lewis was absolutely phenomenal in it. He deserved that oscar like nobody's business. One thing I've been noticing about this movie is a lot of people I talk to didn't like it. I find it's usually b/c it went way over their heads b/c they thought it was gonna be an action packed bloody mess or some sort of quazi documentary about the early days of the oil industry.

I feel sorry for everyone who was nominated with him... Viggo Mortensen, Johnny Depp, Tommy Lee Jones and George Clooney, all terrific actors, and I thought Viggo's role in Eastern Promises was just pure brilliance, but stack 'em up against DDL and they're sore in the morning.

They should just invent a new Daniel Day Lewis category, so that they can award him every year, and other actors can stand a chance of winning an oscar.

 

[COBHC]

I have to agree Viggo in eastern promises was great. Minus the nude karatee kicks in the sauna lol.

No way, the sauna scene was killer! Or are you afraid the sight of Viggo's gear will turn you gay?
