Rating: 8.4/10Genre: Drama
Overall value for money and time: 8.0/10
Great film with a running time of approximately 2.5 hours! Though dialogue dominated, it has an engaging build up and an oscar winning performance by Daniel Day Lewis, the lead actor. This movie may not be everyone's cup of tea but I guarantee you this, you will certainly not regret watching it. There are a few memorable scenes which are highly seat gripping and heart wrenching - the blowup of the oil refinery site as well as the last scene. This is indeed another beautiful film which shows the darker side of human nature. I don't believe there's a "good" person in this film, which is one of the few films breaking the convention of the usual Hollywood movies, just a "bad" and a "worse". This movie is about the evolution of the oil industry from the finding father's point of view and the events which takes place over the course of time. (Fictional) There are many themes explored in this movie, such as family, greed, religion and status. Personally, for dialogue dominated films, I believe the success lies in the build up as well as the ending, both of which this movie is superior in.
