In There Will Be Blood, Daniel Day-Lewis plays an oil tycoon in-the-making. He plays a man thirsty for oil power, does it all with his bare hands and will stop at nothing to get what he wants -- surprising, huh? He nasty, of course.
I thought the movie should have been shot in two parts, the first with his rise, the second with his, uh, fall. As it is, the movie feels rushed towards the end (they tried to pass it off as artsy, but that didn't fly with moi). Having said that, I still think the movie is excellent -- Daniel gave us the best performance by a male lead. Ever.
No gay content.
We enjoyed the film, despite the annoying music that swarmed in like a bee and disappeared just as quickly. Daniel Day Lewis was remarkable. And for me, the movie takes place near where I live, giving me a good deal of history about the oil industry in my part of California.
