There Will be Blood post

So i definately went to see there will be blood today and first off it was an absolutely incredible movie from start to end. The basis of the story is a man of humble beginnings trying to find his way through mining oil, he begins alone digging in a cave when he finds a rock, he sets up some dynamite and falls back down the hole after the explosion, but for someone having just broken his leg he didnt seem too broken up about it as he had found what he was looking for. From there it goes to him a couple of years later where he is digging again this time not in a cave and he is not alone, he does not appear to have reached oil and at one point in the scene one of his companions is killed by a piece of mining equipment. the next scene he is drilling with more advanced machinery when a pipe falls into the ground and oil begins to ooze out. From here he goes into a scene where he refuses to consider buying land because there is too much chaos when someone else approaches him and informs him where land is for money. He goes to check out the land he was informed about and finds it to be very good to him, and ends up purchasing the area for drilling. from here the story is about his power struggle with one of the townspeople whom owns a church, and his struggle with family issues and competing oil companies. Through all of this he continues to put oil and profit as his top priority and in doing so as a person he continues to degenerate throughout the course of the movie. This movie has one of the greatest music scores i have ever heard to a movie. The cinematography is also beautifully done doing a great job making you feel like you are there and experiencing all of the dirt and oil that is flooding the screen. the actors did a phenomenal job portraying the characters in the movie. Overall this is one of the best movies ive seen in a really long time, its lengthy at 158 minutes but the movie is at no point boring and the length should not scare you away.
