Academy Award-winning drama starring Daniel Day-Lewis. Daniel Plainview (Day-Lewis) is a down-and-out silver miner who transforms himself into a rich oil tycoon. When he learns of a small oil-rich town in California, he moves there with his adopted son, H.W. (Dillon Freasier). Using his son to project the image of a caring family man, Plainview gains the co-operation of almost all the locals in the town, with promises to build schools and cultivate the land to make their community flourish. However, over time, Plainview's gradual accumulation of wealth and power causes his true self to surface, and he begins to slowly alienate himself from everyone in his life, including his son.
Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play Director Paul Thomas Anderson&39;s There Will Be Blood is a masterly unflinching examination of a consummately evil man Daniel Plainview (via a transcendent performance by the great Daniel Day-Lewis) is as he likes to remind those around him an oil man he finds it he drills for it and he makes money from it Following a tip from a visitor named Paul Sunday whose family sits atop a veritable ocean of oil Plainview travels to the town of New Boston California with his young son Sunday&39;s preacher brother Eli (both roles are played by the excellent Paul Dano) grudgingly accepts Plainview&39;s ambitions under the condition that he help fund the town church As Plainview&39;s plans come to fruition a series of events begin to fracture the insular world he has constructed for himself pitting Plainview against Sunday and forcing him to become even more vindictive and ruthless Anderson proved with Boogie Nights and Magnolia that he was adept at handling expansive storylines and layered plots; however he stakes out a claim here as a new master of the cinematic epic The film is visually stunning and alternates between lush widescreen shots of the desert and meticulously composed darkly lit close-up of his actors presenting complex images of the American landscape and the souls that dot it As a narrative There Will Be Blood is told with a sense of economy yet never at the expense of the film&39;s inherently grand scope It&39;s difficult to determine precisely what Anderson wants his viewers to take from the experience the film is in the end appropriately complex and ambiguous There Will Be Blood forces us to confront Plainville who seems to be a larger-than-life personification of evil; that we don&39;t entirely understand him at the film&39;s conclusion is not a shortcoming but rather a tribute to the depths of this most vile creature and this most brilliant film Note There Will Be Blood will be packaged in environmentally-friendly cardboard made from recycled paper
