There Will Be Blood (2007)
description written by member Zara:
A sprawling epic about family, greed, corruption, and the pursuit of the American dream. Set in the booming West coast oil fields at the turn of the 20th century, "There Will Be Blood" follows the rise of rugged prospector Daniel Plainview (Day-Lewis) who becomes an independent oilman after hitting it rich with the strike of a lifetime. Written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, the film is inspired by Upton Sinclair's novel "Oil!"

There Will Be Blood is an unusual movie of extraordinary power, an epic metaphor of the American dream. It's engine is a volcanic performance by Daniel Day-Lewis as Daniel Plainview, oil man, at the center. He's in almost every frame and from the moment he appears he drives the film forward with his will, his rage and...

"There Will Be Blood", the new film from Paul Thomas Anderson ("Boogie Nights", "Magnolia" and "Punch Drunk Love") stars Daniel Day Lewis as oil prospector Daniel Plainview.
