There Will Be Blood (P.T. Anderson, 2007)
Rating: 9.8
A brilliant character study, much in the same vein as Orson Welle's Citizen Kane and Touch of Evil. As tiresome and repetitive as it may sound, Daniel Day Lewis delivers one of the finest and most memorable performances I can recall. The score is just about as remarkable as DDL and both are more than deserving of Oscars in my opinion. Besides just being a character study, which I found fascinating enough, DDL's character is a rather obvious allegory for the ugliness of capitalism and America itself, although perhaps limited, but very relevant, when considering the accusations of oil hunting in the Middle East.
