"There Will be Blood:" yet

another depressing, abrupt-ending "art" film from America.
Daniel Day-Lewis is powerful, yes, but the writing is so poor he has few memorable scenes, lines. The basic story-telling is terrible. The music is okay but at times is repetitive and extreme. The palette is yellow-brown and rapidly becomes boring.
Lewis is on screen for the entire film and that's part of the problem. No other character is anywhere near as powerful, as well-drawn. There is NOTHING for him to play against.
And, please, don't bother with that silly argument that it's true to the book.
Donatello and Michaelangelo both sculpted highly thought of "Davids" but they're as dissimilar as possible. Artists make art, they don't slavishly copy.
