There's going to be two new catch phrases entering pop culture, from this movie -





"I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE! I DRINK IT UP!!!


And


"DDDRRRRAAAAAIIINNNNAAAGGGEEEEEEE!!!!!!! DRAINAGE!!"



Anyone else seen the film, you know what I'm talking about.

This movie is next on my list. I'm surprised more people haven't seen it.

Good movie. I see some academy awards in its future.

It's out in the UK finally, but I'll be seeing it next week.

THERE WILL BE MILKSHAKES!!!!!!!

Drainage! Drainage, Eli, you boy. Drained dry. I'm so sorry. Here, if you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw. There it is, that's a straw, you see? Watch it. And my straw reaches across the room and starts to drink your milkshake, I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!

You don't say...

Still need to see it, looks fabulous.

I haven't seen this movie yet., what is all about?

It's about the beginning of the California oil boom in the early 20th Century, alongside the religious boom that happens when one particular town becomes prosperous. Daniel Day-Lewis plays a prospector and oil man named Daniel Plainview, and the film covers three decades of his life, starting from 1898. The 'Blood' of the title is metaphorical, for great riches from oil or religion (The Blood of the lamb), and as Daniel expands his operation and empire, he becomes increasingly in confrontation with the local church & it's zealot of a preacher, Eli Sunday(Paul Dano.) Their battles of wills spans many years and takes many twists.

That's a basic synopsis. It's fiercely acted by all, and builds to an explosive conclusion.

I would watch a movie about drinking soda through a straw if it had daniel day lewis in it.

Good movie... It's slow, but DDL's peformance carries it.

Yes, it's slow moving, but not boring at all.

I loved it. Amazing movie, DDL did a fantastic job.

I am loving these new Western themed movies, I tell ya.

Looking forward to seeing this.

Daniel Day Lewis has one of the best, if not THE best, abilities to change from his regular self into a character.

One of the best movies of the decade; I saw it last Tuesday. Paul Thomas Anderson is a wunderkind. Made me rewatch Magnolia and Boogie Nights just because of the sheer virtuosity of his direction; plus the score was amazing. Sadly Greenwood can't get the Oscar.

Agreed on both counts.

I was so disappointed when he didn't win the best actor Oscar for Gangs of New York.

He was insaaaaane, in Gangs of New York.

He's just as delightful in There Will Be Blood. I don't think anyone can be disappointed in his performance, it was amazing.

Bill the Butcher is an awesome character, I really don't think anyone but DDL could have made that character what he was in Gangs. Brilliant actor.

Edit: Put in the wrong vid.

Nice. Daniel Day just took best actor. Good. I wanted him to get it. Viggo was my secong pick.

Wth was up with a Clooney and Depp nod. They didn't look right there. They're only known for their good looks and bad attitude not their acting. Deep's decent and better than Clooney but they're no Oscar caliber performeers. What was the academy thinking?

Congrats Daniel Day. Your second best actor Oscar award. His best role to me was the butcher from Gangs of New York. He reminded me of your drunken step uncle who who'd beat you just for blinking the wrong way. Loved his passion his calmness and psychotic temper in the movie.

Did a search but could find this thread. If someone finds it, i must've not searched long enough.

But anyway. I thought the movie itself was a bit tedious but still watchable. The thing that mostly held my attention was Daniel Day Lewis's performance. Man o man can he act. His intensity is phenomenal. He's mad passionate in it. He's so believable that i think he's actually like that in real life.

Sometimes it seems as if he was delivering his lines in impromptu form. Like he'd sometimes almost verbally interrupt a guy talking, and continued to let him talk, just as a normal people would in real life.

And he's definitely not afraid to get dirty and get slapped up unlike the always smug George Clooney. (whom in fact, and rightfully, lost the best actor Oscar to Daniel day a couple of months back). Daniel Day's a handsome man yet he seems to not care about that, well at least not as much as a normal movie star would.

He also looked the part like crazy. To me he has the look of a vaudeville performer from the late 1800's to early 1900's. You know, like one those guy that would sing a quartet outside a barbershop while you got a haircut or a show shine. He also looks like a circus ticket collector from the early 1900's. Moustache and everything, lol. Like the guy that goes: Hurry, hurry. Step right, get you tickets to the greatest show on earth, ya see?

haha. His is the best performance i've seen this year.

Loved how it ended, too.

Oh and my rating is:

7/10

There Will Be Blood

"not afraid to get dirty and get slapped up unlike the always smug George Clooney", what exactly does that mean?

Best film of the year, really.

I was thoroughly entertained by this movie. The acting was captivating and the writing was very fine. . Maybe it was the dark realism intertwined with sarcasm, but i thought the tone of the film was obscure and quite fresh. I'm with Exanda on this one. If not, into the wild, There will be blood was easily the best film of the year.

yeah, i get the smug remark, but am a bit lost in understanding, afraid to get slapped up.

Movie is astounding.

A great, powerful character study.

When DDL acts in a movie, he never leaves character. On the set of Gangs of New York, after there was a cut, he would still going around talking and acting like Bill the Butcher.

People seem to be forgetting that it's a PTA film anyway, even without Day-Lewis it would have been great.

Agreed and Lewis did a great job with the character. I couldn't ask for anything more from the movie.

I just watched this last night and enjoyed it very much. The acting was top notch, and the ending was by far one of the best endings ever.

That entire scene was ingenious. That cocky Eli coming in to persuade Daniel to drill on the Bandy farm, only to have Daniel break him down by making him say he was a false prophet, and then to break the news that he already owns that oil, and then clubbing him to death with a bowling pin . . . . priceless. On top of that, the line you quoted . . . . friggin' solid gold!

Just watched this movie. Enjoyed it thoroughly, like everyone's stated, DDL kicked ass.

I think I may have to see this again because from memory,I found it overlong and simply boring

I must put it on my list again though,too try to work out what all the fuss is about

I know, I loved that last scene. Truly amazing. I really enjoyed DDL's acting in this.

There Will Be Blood is one of my favorite movies of all time. I think it's one of Paul Thomas Anderson's finest. Just wanted to know what you guys think of it. Comment, thanks.

It is definetly a masterpiece. Daniel Day Lewis rocks face in this film. Hard.

I agree, man. He's too damn good. Thank you for commenting.

Great acting performance but a truly boring movie I will never watch again.

Merged with the existing thread.

Whuu..? you weirdos, this movie is great. Definitely wouldn't call it boring.

I totally agree, it's a classic. It ain't boring at all.

Considering you only seem to have the intellectual capacity to comprehend at maximum a Tom and Jerry cartoon, I'm unsurprised

I must massively disagree here, Supra

This movie was one of the best I've ever seen. A modern day Citizen Kane (although admittedly not as good) in that it is a character study of how a man abandons all morality to achieve his goals, but whereas Charles was a sympathetic man turned bad, Daniel seems to have always had malevolence in him.

The musical score of this film was amazing, one of the best in cinematic history. It is very reminiscent of the score of Kubrick's The Shining. The scene in which the oil derrick burns, with it's relentless drumming score and beautiful cinematography, is undoubtedly one of the best scenes I've viewed in any film ever.

Of course, Daniel Day Lewis was superlative, Paul Dano did great, and the kid/adult who played H.W. was good as well.

And of course, DRAINNNNNNAAGGGGEEEEE!!!

9/10

Everything about this film in one scene:

Amazing cinematography, masterful score, and Daniel being a massive dickweed (for not tending to his deafened son). My personal favorite scene of the film.

Really like the music in that clip. It's wonky in a good way.

If it wasn't for a technicality, it would have undoubtedly won an Oscar for Best Score
