Tríptico de qualidade: espaço, actor e música.

There Will Be Blood tem um excelente controlo da sua história, devido à noção de espaço que transmite, a Grande América (que suscita o desejo de explorá-la intensamente, ainda nestes dias não pioneiros), mas essencialmente à excelente BSO de Jonny Greenwood (também dos Radiohead) que sabe compassar cada plano em que a música é inserida.

Se o Cinema é orgânico (muito provavelmente o adjectivo contemporâneo mais utilizado em cultura), Daniel Day-Lewis é o filme! É apaixonante o seu desempenho, o seu encarnar de personagem (ou ele sempre foi assim?), todos os seus tempos... fabuloso!

Plainview: I'd like you to tell me that you are a false prophet... I'd like you to tell me that you are, and have been, a false prophet... and that God is a superstition.

Eli Sunday: When can we begin to drill?
Plainview: Right away.
Eli Sunday: How long will it take to bring in the well?
Plainview: Should be very quick.
Eli Sunday: I would like a one hundred thousand dollar signing bonus plus the five that is owed with interest.
Plainview: That's only fair.
Eli Sunday: I am a false prophet and God is a superstition. If that's what you believe, then I will say it.
Plainview: Say it like you mean it.
Eli Sunday: Daniel...
Plainview: Say it like it's your sermon.
Eli Sunday: This is foolish.
[long pause]
Eli Sunday: I am a false prophet! God is a superstition! I am a false prophet! God is a superstition! I am a false prophet! God is a superstition!
[pause]
Eli Sunday: Is that fine?
Plainview: Those areas have been drilled.
Eli Sunday: What?

Plainview: Drainage! Drainage, Eli! Drained dry, you boy! If you have a milkshake and I have a milkshake and I have a straw and my straw reaches across the room and starts to drink your milkshake. I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!
