Back home at six in the morn..a long day it was, with the better part of the night spent on a movie and hanging out with a bunch of friends and coffee @ Mc D. While my Java trip is still under edit, I am thinking of having a section in my blog to talk about movies I watched and the books I read. Would be cool to have an opinion about things and share it with the world for, thats all a blog is for. I am getting no sleep at this odd hr, so here we go, the first one.
1.”There will be blood”
Frankly from the title, I was expecting a lot of blood and gore and even prepared myself mentally for the worse to come, but then, I was pleasantly overjoyed as the movie unfolded. Set in the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the film is about oil discovery and the rise of an oil baron. Having said that, its not just about the black gold, but deeply woven into the plot are strong emotions, so dramatically brought to the fore by the extremely talented cast. The unconditional love of a father towards his son, the passion to succeed (at any cost) and religious fervor (The film makes quite a mockery out of evangelists) have been intricately set into the plot and junctures were they come into conflict with each other……Wow! kudos, a job well done. I did find the music a little repetitive though (monotonous with little variety), but baring this,which I am certain you will fail to notice as you immerse into the movie, the film is a must watch!!

“The unconditional love of a father towards his son”
Could you expound on that? Assuming you’re referring to Plainview and H.W., I came away feeling that he was using his (adopted) son to further his own gains.
Yes, he was his adopted son, and Plainview did say he was using him to further is business. But that was said more in a fit of rage than anything else. Also, the business man that he is, comes into conflict with his duties as a father, but those are sporadic incidents. Deep down, I did feel Plainview was nurturing a strong sense of fatherly love towards H.W. It is this mixed set of attributes, that I feel, makes Plainview’s character interesting!.Thanks for your comments. Whats your opinion ?
