This movie was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Daniel Day-Lewis is magnificant in his role as Daniel Plainview, a greedy, cruel, violent oilman (who I tried to like but found it next to impossible)! The movie, inspired by Upton Sinclair's novel, "Oil!" (1927) was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and Robert Elswit as the cinematographer. Both did outstanding jobs with this film but for me, it was how mesmerizing Daniel Day-Lewis was in this role. I'm not going to go into any details, since I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't already seen this movie. If you haven't, I highly recommend it! There's an Oscar in here for sure!
