there will be blood

There Will Be Bloodis simply amazing. I was surprised to see such humor in this picture but I should have expected it after Anderson's past work suchBoogie Nights. I don't really consider myself a huge Paul Thomas Anderson fan or at least I didn't.

The things that make this movie great are the many basic rules that get broken. To start, there isn't any dialog for the first portion of the movie but it never feels slow and that is thanks in part to an incredible soundtrack. At times the movie feels more like a horror/suspense movie then a traditional drama which was obviously intentional and really well done.

TWBB is a movie about some really focused men that are passionate about their business and very little else. The acting in this movie is just as good if not better than the cinematography. I loved this movie. Go. Watch.
