So I just screened There Will Be Blood, and that film is simply amazing. There is a level of significance and sophistication that is so clear and powerful that its almost hard to watch. I found myself literally gasping at seemingly unimportant moments that were just immaculately created. The oil-lined grave would be one of them. God that was a creepy image.
The score was particularly incredible and the AMPAS' disqualification of it is an absolute tragedy. Johnny Greenwood's score expresses chaotic melancholy and sense of crumbling reality that is present in the protagonist's world view. Incredible work.
And to say that Daniel Day Lewis deserves an Oscar is an understatement. This performance is so good he should get an automatic Oscar next year too. It doesn't seem like one award really does this work justice. DDL gives one of the best performances I have ever seen, and he is truly mesmerizing.
A Masterpiece.
