Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, There Will Be Blood is a cinematic masterpiece. With one of the best performances by a leading actor and some of the best cinematography I've ever seen in a movie. Set during the early 20'th century, the movie is about a former gold miner turned self made oil tycoon named Daniel Plainview. Early in his career while on a job site there is a terrible accident that kills a single father who brought his newborn son with him, so Daniel adopts the boy and makes him his own. Years later he gets a tip about a massive oil reserve in a southern California. While acquiring the land for drilling was fairly easy, getting rich off the oil is a little more challenging than bargained for. Daniel Day Lewis's performance as Daniel Plainvew is nothing short of a triumph, a performance that essentially won him every leading actor award that year. And rightfully so. Paul Thomas Anderson has made several great movies, but There Will Be Blood is his crowning achievement And a movie that will be hard to top.
