There Will Be Blood

There Will Be Blood  Rated R
There Will Be Blood is about Daniel Plainview, (Daniel Day Lewis) a man who pretty
much cheats his way through life. He's an oilman who always wanted a family, and his coworker has a son named HW (Dillon Freasier). After his coworker dies in an oil accident, Daniel raises HW as if he were his own son, and they cheat their way to buying land off of a poor family who has tons of oil on their land. The son of the family, Eli Sunday (Paul Dano), is a priest at a local church. After an oil accident, HW goes deaf and Daniel proves to be a not-so-great father. In the midst of all of this, a suspicious man named Henry comes to town, saying that he is Daniel's brother. The farther into the film you go, the more complicated and interesting it gets.

Daniel Day Lewis is one of the world's greatest actors, but, in my opinion, the real star here is Paul Dano, who really shines through in this. It was very interesting, and the more plot that came, the more fun it was. It is extremely fun and it just might be the greatest film of the 00s, but No Country for Old Men might just barely be better. The ending is brilliant, and the more you watch, the more you realize that Daniel Plainview might just be the most terrible human being ever, even if he is fictional. To see: That is the answer.
