Some critics say this movie is a character study of oil hungry US and some say it’s a character study of a Man.
In my view it’s a journey through different layers of main character played by Daniel Day-Lewis(Gangs of New York.)
Daniel won best actor oscar for this piece of art. As a actor he has given his best in this movie.
A must watch if like the silence of a hard working,greedy Oil man searching for wealth.
In first 13 mins there is no dialogue ,but that’s what the depth of expression.
The film is anchored by the powerful presence of Daniel Day-Lewis as Daniel Plainview, a silver miner turned oilman. Day-Lewis’ performance is a thing of beauty. Equal parts larger-than-life and nuanced, his Daniel Plainview perfectly embodies the spirit of a salesman while putting across the multiple layers required for the portrayal of a man with an all-too-human desire for power. Critics of Daniel Day-Lewis performance will say that his portrayal is far too theatrical, a criticism also given to his portrayal of Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York. The reality is that Day-Lewis does not carry this to everyone of his performances. However, he knows when a character is supposed to be showman. Plainview is a salesman and without his swagger he would be nowhere as a businessman. What is truly outstanding is that, unlike lesser actors, Day-Lewis is able to bring out the more human aspects of Plainview that make him a fascinating character to watch.
A classical just don’t miss it if you love art.
