[movie] There will be Blood[views:8722][posts:66]______________________________ [Aug 17,2010 1:07pm - Yeti ""] i watched this once about 6 months ago, it was one i too avoided for whatever reason. it was excellent, but it was very different than what i expected. i need to re-watch it. |

| ___________________________________ [Aug 17,2010 1:16pm - Slag NLI ""] It was really a milestone moment for me, as I actually sat down and watched an entire movie. Daniel Day Lewis is literally perfect in this role. |

| ___________________________________________________ [Aug 18,2010 9:28am - RiiidddasofDooooommmkhed ""] I read the book, i guess the movie only follows the first 5 chapters and skips everything the book has as it's main point the point of the book: capitalism is evil, socialism is the future and the only way for the working man to avoid slavery/christians are dumb from what I have heard of the movie: OILLLLLLLL!!!!!! either way I will be seeing this as I love daniel day lewis |
| _________________________________ [Aug 18,2010 9:33am - oscarct ""] I have owned this movie for years, and still havent watched it haha |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 18,2010 9:37am - arktouros ""] there is a fuckton of political undertone in the movie but somehow it avoids ever coming to the surface. you can take what you want out of it. that's one of the reasons it's so amazing. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 18,2010 9:41am - arilliusbm ""] So many modern movies have political undertones. |
| ________________________________ [Aug 18,2010 9:41am - burnsy ""] I thought that the film portrayed greed within a capitalist system pretty clearly. Especially the scene where's he's talking to Henry on the porch with the "I have a competition in me" spiel. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 18,2010 9:48am - arktouros ""] yeah, it's funny that's the only time he reveals anything about himself. |

I will have to get to watching this, but in the book the son is the main character and the father is actually really kind a likable and willing to treat his workers fairly but he is stuck having to do things like the rest of the oil tycoons or be bought out or lose his millions. I was actually think they could make a pretty damn good HBO series out of the book, not to mention they already have the success of the movie. |

I've only read one book by Sinclair, The Jungle, and it was excellent. |
