There Will Be Blood
Come and listen to a story about a man named Plainview
A poor silver miner, pretending to have a family,
Then one day he was shootin at some quail,
And up through the ground came a bubblin crude.
Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.
Well the first thing you know ol Dan's a millionaire,
Paul said "Dan move away from there"
Said "Californy is the place you ought to be"
So he loaded up the Model T and moved to goat country.
Set in California in the early 1900s, a slick oil baron (Daniel Day-Lewis) driven by greed convinces religious goat ranchers to sell their land for promises of a better life. An evangelical preacher (Paul Dano) becomes his nemesis. These 2 actors give powerful and charismatic performances. See what the early days of oil drilling were like. The film is visually rich and well-made, but Alien is sure what to make of the ending (film’s fatal flaw for Alien). If you see it, you may agree with many other film critics and love it. This movie is inspired by Upton Sinclair’s novel “Oil!” and the film “Treasure of Sierra Madre”. Rated "R" for violence.
Alien gives it 2 “Church of the Third Revelation” stars out of 4.
