There Will Be Blood
De_El:
So I saw it again Friday. Apparently it was abundantly clear to everyone but me that Eli was full of shit, but when I watched There Will Be Blood I thought Eli was pretty sincere in his psychosis. And I mean, thinking of certain scenes, I can reason to the conclusion that he was a manipulative, self-serving bastard, but when I was actually watching the film I kind of believed him. Not that he actually was the "third revelation" but that he believed he was.
Narr:
I thought the soundtrack was pretty jarring, to be honest. A lot of it didn't really fit for me.
Something my friend who went with me pointed out about Daniel Day Lewis is the genuine work they put him to in the film. I didn't realize it but a lot of the scenes where he's exerting a lot of physical energy (chasing his son after he sets the house on fire, the distance he runs while holding his boy after the oil well springs to fire, the shots of him mining at the very beginning) were mostly done in single takes, as in the shot never actually leaves him to cut to another angle. That really added a lot of believability to him because it just added to the genuine grizzled nature of Daniel in the movie.
bryanthelion:
fuck, I already forgot the last scene.
Yes, it was amazing. I haven't seen atonement yet, but so far I think this is going to win best picture. I would rather have Juno though, but I know it wont win.
MusicScribbles:
I definitely feel like this is going to win best picture. I would rather No Country For Old Men won, but this probably will.
SevenPinkerton:
I was sort of disappointed with No Country for Old Men. I enjoyed this movie far more.
