![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What are every one else's thoughts on this film and Anderson as a director in general ? This film had a very Kubrick feel to it without necessarily stealing from Kubrick. This is, regretfully, the only Paul Thomas Anderson film I have seen but if his other work stands up to this level there is no doubt he is probably one of the best working directors out there right now. It was often subtle but helped build the tension of the film. I thought the score worked very well for the film. The last scene is what made the film for me, the whole film was a lead up for us to find the true nature of the characters of Daniel and Eli both in the end in the wrong in some way. I felt Daniel Day Lewis did an astounding job at making his character a maniacal bastard. Every shot looked almost as if it could be a panting or a work of art on its own. I thought most of the shots in this film were beautifully composed. This was much the same way I felt upon the first viewing of 2001 A Space Odyssey, but much like 2001 I found the second viewing much more enjoyable. The first time I watched the film I could not help but think how long it felt and how bored I was. I just finished watching There Will Be Blood for probably the second time in my life, and I must say that after the second viewing I finally realized how great of a film it truly is. ![]()
