There will be a brilliant movie!

Hard to describe how good this movie is, Daniel Day Lewis plays the role of Danial Plainview, a hard nosed oil man who takes his son on a journey of oil prospecting and exploitation. Daniel Plainview basically views people as commodities to exploit, even his own son! His main adversary is evangelist Eli Sunday, who's family sells Daniel the oil rights on their property in return for money towards a church. Everything goes very bad after the oil well explodes and Daniels Son HW is deafened, this is where the true side of Daniel comes out, his true dark soul. Paul Dano plays Eli brilliantly, and Daniel Day Lewis is fantastic in the lead role, the rest of the cast are brilliant, the script and story is clever, pacey and compelling. The direction and cinematography are great, I can see why the movie won 2 Oscars and 5 Baftas. Interesting fact, Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead won a Bafta for the music score.
