Namir Faidi Review: It is difficult to discover a movie that can compare to the masterpieces of the past, that is until the creation of There Will Be Blood. When you can observe a film for over ten minutes with totally no spoken word and be entirely enraptured by every second of it, there is something truly unique about that, says the critic Namir Faidi. One of the directors, Paul Thomas Anderson’s treasured movies is The Treasure of Sierra Madre and any person who has experienced it knows why, and can assuredly notice the influence this film had on Mr. Anderson. They also may know why this director does not pump out films at every turn, film projects are chosen precisely and in time. In my opinion this is one of the most stunning stories of greed and opulence taken on celluloid, this film is a true jewel for film fans and should be cherished as such. One of the best things about the film is its lack of attractiveness to the bulk community and uniform movie going audiences. Reverting to the Western style of film making Western approach to film making this movie is filled with beautiful canvas shots long overwhelming views of America and inspires a lusty feeling of determination and opportunity. It’s no surprise this is an Oscar winner for best Cinematography, one of the most qualified awards is in recent memory. broadly based on Upton Sinclair’s novel Oil! this film is about the oil boom in the late 1800′sthe oil craze in the later 1800′s) and a man who chose to capitalize on it. A massive element in the movie aside from the astonishing cinematography work and shot selection is the score, those two superior things set the approach for the entire film. The movie would not be as good as it is without a frightening score by Johnny Greenwood, guitarist from the band Radiohead, it too should have garnered an Oscar but unfortunately and oddly the music was all composed prior to the movie was produced. One thing that cannot be made clear in writing and would be a task unto itself in person would be to start to dissect the unsurpassable performance, to be matched with that of Jack Nicholson or Marlon Brando in their most successful day, of Daniel Day Lewis, who also won an Oscar for the film. There Will Be Blood is certain to become a landmark flick. If you don’t have access to a darkened theater with a film projector, which the finest way to view this film, make sure you at least watch it on Blu-Ray with a High Definition TV and have a high-quality stereo, you would otherwise be doing yourself an injustice.
