Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood was released in 2007. Paul was the director and screenwriter of the movie. This movie is brought to life by the actors Daniel Day-Lewis (Daniel) Paul Dano (Eli), and Dillon Freasier ( H.W). Through out the movie you will come into contact with these three characters in a variety of ways. There Will Be Blood is a a drama movie based on Daniel Plainview, who plays the role of a miner.

During the movie the lighting makes it very dark and dingy. The DP is very clear on what the main point of the movie is. Through out the movie there isn't really very much music or any sound but when there is it is leading to something bad that is going to happen or something that is very dramatic. Daniel Plainview is the main character in There Will Be Blood. He isn't the most friendly person in the world. He is very rude and violent. He likes to do what is best for him. Daniel likes to put his money before anyone. Stand in between him and his money and you may end up dead. He just so happens to be a static and indirect character, meaning, he doesn't really change who he is throughout the movie and he expresses how he feels through his actions and his speech. There will be blood in my opinion was a very good movie. My favorite scene would have to be when the well caught fire. This scene really made you realize the main point of the whole movie. During this scene they pan the camera to the well multiple times to make it more than obvious what was more important. I personally feel that the movie was a very well done drama. I would for sure go the movie when it is in theaters. I would recommend this movie to anyone that likes drama and or action. This was an over all very well done

    Creating a suspenseful movie without it becoming boring, or creating a funny movie that’s not full of cheap jokes are both feats in their own right but the Coen brothers were able to combine the two into there one with their knockout debut Blood Simple. Blood Simples editing creates a suspenseful neo noir film that is full of dramatic irony. The audience knows going on behind the scenes but the characters don 't and they keep making the worst choices. The first edit I will look at in the film is when Marty breaks into Rays house and grabs hold of Abby.

    From a Marxist perspective, it is clear that Paul Thomas Anderson uses There Will Be Blood which shows the destructive nature of capitalism towards the end of the 19th century. Paul Thomas Anderson's critique of the capitalist ideology is shown throughout the entire film. Paul Thomas uses multiple cinematic techniques to bring out the anger and frustration that Plainview was expressing towards Eli. The lower camera angle as Plainview was beating Eli expresses what the money has done to him, and the destructive path capitalism has created. Rather than being happy, he has turned into something completely different and now becomes angry.
