Namir Faidi Review: There Will Be Blood left a mark in cinematic history that will be a standard for years to come. When one can view a movie for in excess of ten minutes with positively no dialog and be utterly captivated by every second of it, there is something truly exceptional about that, says the critic Namir Faidi. One of this film’s directors, Paul Thomas Anderson’s favorite movies is The Treasure of Sierra Madre and anyone who has experienced it knows why, and can assuredly notice the affect this film had on Mr. Anderson. They also might know why this director does not pump out films regularly, movie project are picked precisely and in time. In my opinion this is one of the most fascinating stories of greed and wealth caught on film, this film is a bona fide gem for film lovers and should be cherished as such. One of the best things about the film is its scarcity of attractiveness to the majority public and standardized movie going consumers. Reverting to the Western style of movie makingWestern approach to movie making this movie is filled with astonishing backdrop shots long overwhelming views of The United States and presents a lusty sensation of determination and possibility. It’s no wonder this is an Oscar winner for best Cinematography, one of the most fitting awards is in recent memory. broadly based on Upton Sinclair’s classic Oil! this flick is about the oil boom in the late 1800’sthe oil craze in the later 1800’s) and a man who chose to capitalize on it. A big factor in the motion picture aside from the remarkable scenery and shot selection is the score, those two governing things set the tone for the complete film. The film would not be as effective as it is without a frightening musical score by Johnny Greenwood, guitarist from the band Radiohead, it too should have garnered an Oscar but sadly and strangely the music was all created prior to the film was produced. Something that can’t be emphasized in writing and would be a job unto itself in person would be to start to dissect the unequaled performance, to be matched with that of Jack Nicholson or Marlon Brando in their prime, of Daniel Day Lewis, who also was rewarded an Oscar for the film. There Will Be Blood is sure to become a landmark movie. If you do not have admittance to a darkened theater with a film projector, which the greatest way to watch this motion picture, be sure you at least watch it on Blu-Ray with a Hi-Def television and have a high-quality sound system, you would otherwise be doing yourself an injustice.
