"The Blood Will Come"

9/10 ddl is horrible. Best performance in my history. (And most likely the best performance in film history so far). Through his characters, Lewis "samples" the most depressing and helpless (often the biggest winners) characteristics of human nature: brutality, control, aggression, utilitarianism, cunning, and ruthless ruthlessness. In contrast, Paul Dano seems to have more than enough strength, and the performance traces are too heavy and not smooth. The last scene, ddl, really brought the "stage explosiveness" to the extreme. I have imagined more than once whether it would be more profound and shocking if this scene was moved to the dramatic stage. The sudden ending at the end is exactly the same as the classical soundtrack and The Favourite. The difference is that this film highlights the sense of disillusionment suddenly withdrawn from the strong drama, which is in line with the dark and nightmarish tone. PTA's directing skills may take two brushes to slowly experience. I personally think that the foreshadowing of the first half is too slow and superfluous, but Analogy 2001 also feels that the intention of PTA is to create a Gothic disturbing mood rather than the narrative itself. In all respects, "There Will Be Blood" is an excellent film, but it is a little overrated to be rated as "Best Film of the 21st Century", and it is not difficult to see the critics' "Citizen Kane" and "Kubrey" in it. gram" complex.
