At this year’s Oscars, There Will Be Blood was up for many of the major awards and won several, including Best Actor. It went to Daniel Day-Lewis for a mesmerizing performance as Dick Cheney. The movie may have been set in the 1890s instead of present day, but it was a perfect setting to have a self-absorbed, vicious, soulless, and oil-greedy protagonist.
In There Will Be Blood, Daniel Plainview (Dick Cheney) is an oil prospector, who takes advantage of a community (Iraq), which has oil reserves under it. He promises the town schools and economic success just like the promises of our government. He, then, goes on a rampage in his greed-driven madness.
Just like Saw and other horror films of recent, the film is dark and gory. Even the title There Will Be Blood tells of violence and horror just like war. This is box-office gold for movies as of late, beings as my generation loves to watch the suffering of individuals.
