I drink it up!

Loosely speaking, there are two types of movies: there are movies that at no time compel me to stop the viewing, or fast forward scenes, and there are movies that have that effect. 'There Will Be Blood' was very comfortably situated in the former camp.

Three things:
  • Daniel Day-Lewis was superb. Very interesting character in Daniel Plainview.
  • The setting. Circa 1900 and oil drilling never was so thrilling.
  • Jonny Greenwood's score was an interesting gamble. I liked it.
I stop short of calling it a classic or masterpiece.
