He is the director of such movies as Magnolia and Boogie Nights (two great movies). This movie also stars Daniel Day Lewis ( My Left Foot, Last of the Mochicans, Gangs of New York) and is based upon the novel &#8216;Oil!&#8217; by Upton Sinclair.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, suffice it to say I found this movie to be a fascinating characterization study of greed and faith. Daniel Day Lewis&#8217;s character, Daniel plainview, is a early 20th century self proclaimed &#8216;oilman&#8217;. He is driven by greed and wealth, and the way he uses his personality to get what he wants draws you into the movie and doesn&#8217;t let go. His character tackles the God-fearing people of the small town whose land he needs to own so that he can drill for the oil he wants.<\/p>\n<p>This movie is really about the characters. The cinematography is awesome, but little action (no car chases, aliens, or monsters, except for Plainview). It&#8217;s rated R for violence, which i thought was pretty minimal until the very end. ( and still it&#8217;s not that bad, but i am desensitized to that kind of stuff)<\/p>\n<p>So if you like Paul Thomas Anderson&#8217;s work or Daniel Day Lewis, definitely see this movie. If not, or you aren&#8217;t familiar with their previous works, you might not enjoy this movie (i.e. Don&#8217;t blame me if you don&#8217;t like it)<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Two punk kids walked out of the movie, thinking it was a boring western by the comments they made when they left. But everyone as i was leaving said it was one of the best movies they had seen in quite awhile. I concur with the latter&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is Paul Thomas Anderson&#8217;s new movie.
