There Will Be Blood is a 2007 American epic period drama film co-produced, written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, loosely based on the 1927 novel Oil! by Upton Sinclair. It stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Paul Dano, Kevin J. O'Connor, Ciarán Hinds, and Dillon Freasier. The film follows silver miner-turned-oilman Daniel Plainview (Day-Lewis) as he embarks on a ruthless quest for wealth during the Californian oil boom…

*There Will Be Blood*, the 2007 period drama written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, has been lauded as a masterpiece by many, yet upon closer inspection, it seems to be more of an Oscar-bait film than a true classic. This is not to say that Anderson's work lacks talent, but rather that his reputation has clouded the judgment of critics, leading to the film's undeserved acclaim. *There Will Be Blood* is very l…More

IMDb Synopsis: *In the midst of a tireless journey in search of money and power, Daniel Plainview (an ambitious American oil hunter) comes into conflict with Eli Sunday (an alienated pastor convinced of his absolute truths) when his ambitions are threatened.* Even before they are made, some movies already exude a relatively epic atmosphere due to the c…More

Paul Thomas Anderson's best movie? ¿La mejor pelicula de Paul Thomas Anderson? # I remember that the first time I saw this movie, I was shocked for how good it was. I thought it was a great cinematographic work and an acting class, especially from Daniel Day-Lewis. I had seen him act in several movies and I loved him in all of them, especially in _Gangs of New York_. Maybe that's why I wasn't so surprised that he di…More
Name of actor: Paul Dano Name of film: There will be Blood Director: Paul Thomas Anderson Year: 2007 Poster Paul Dano's manic sermon Why this actor: The 21st century’s epic is a work of art from Anderson and features one of the most iconic performances in modern cinema from Daniel Day Lewis - but there is also an incredible role from Paul Dano and it is to his credit, that he lets Day Lewis shine, through his own ac…More
The truly powerful characters remain a part of our psyche and collective consciousness. I could go on and on through a list of characters that were enigmatic, embodied the best and worst of us all, and really impacted me individually but to narrow that down to one single character proved to be almost impossible. After agonizing over the possibilities it came down to a very close competition between Anton Chigurh and…More
For some reason there is a certain amount of films that are very good, that have the support of the specialized critics and the public, but that I just have not seen. I do not have an answer for that, however, that does not mean that I want to keep it that way, no, at a certain moment I finally decide to see them, and when I do what emerges from there is nothing more than my personal satisfaction, as in this occasio…More

I write a weekly film column for *The Contributor* in Nashville, TN. Our local art house cinema is hosting a Paul Thomas Anderson/Daniel Day-Lewis retrospective during January. While those outside of Nashville won't be able to attend these screenings, most of these films are on DVD and streaming services, and I wanted to share these thoughts about their films in hopes of creating some conversation with y'all Steemer…More

There Will Be Blood (2007) is directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and it's a loose adaptation of Upton Sinclair's 1927 novel Oil! It's important to note that Anderson didn't set out to put Oil! on film. In his A.V. Club interview with Josh Modell, he likens the book to a "really good collaborator" rather than a source. To be precise, Anderson used the first 150 pages of Sinclair’s 528-pages-long novel as the basis for…More
Given the recent news of Daniel Day-Lewis' retirement from acting, it's only justice to his career to add one of his best performances to this series of films that I highly recommend people must see before the inevitable outcome of death: Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood. There Will Be Blood shows the greed that fuels us humans, how those with a little more money than most will attempt to extort everything th…More
