My late sister once told me that it was the mark of a great actor or actress of they played their character so well that you really hated them!!
If you are a loyal fan of Daniel Day-Lewis (Sir Daniel Michael Blake Day-Lewis) then you have probably seen this movie. It’s not a recent film. It was released 10+ years ago. The movie is “There Will Be Blood”.
I don’t care for all of the movies where Daniel Day-Lewis is the star, even if he is a “Sir”. But I do know that he always gives 200% whenever he gives a performance.
This film won 2 Oscars. One award was for Best Achievement in Cinematography: Robert Elswit. The other was given to Daniel Day-Lewis for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role.
He was good! He played his part well. He was so good that I HATED HIM!!
I HATED THIS MOVIE!!!
If I met any of those people in real life I would run away from them!
I only liked 2 characters: the adopted son (of Daniel Day-Lewis) and the girl he fell in love with.
As for the character played by Daniel Day-Lewis and that preacher he was always butting heads with?
I HATED BOTH OF THEM! I HATED THEIR GUTS!!
So was there blood? If you have not seen the movie, I don’t want to spoil it for but … yeah! Blood was definitely shed.
Sean Fennessey, a writer for The Ringer, a publication that covers sports, pop culture, and tech, provided a succinct description of this film in his movie review:
- “The movie itself is a submergence into the depths of American desperation—for money, salvation, family, something to call your own. It’s a hole that you can fall down and never crawl out of.”
Never crawl out? Never??
What a relief to know that it was just a movie and not a historical account of real events.
So relax. If you are pursuing the American dream … dream on!

If you hated the character so much, then he is truly a good actor. Unfortunately, I haven’t watched this movie or any of his movies. Thank you for sharing.
If I were going to recommend a movie starring Daniel Day-Lewis, it would be “Lincoln” (2012). It’s about Abraham Lincoln.
I did not care for the movie personally.
I don’t know what I was expecting from a movie with a title like that. But what I saw was not what I was expecting although, after I watched it, the title made perfect sense.
I am no more fan of Daniel and that has a special reason
You either like Daniel Day-Lewis or you don’t. Some people don’t like the roles he chooses to play.
I think this is a really hard topic to cover. I liked the movie, but I know a lot of people that hated it.
It was definitely tough content to digest. At least for me it was.
I struggled with the content, I am not sure I like or dislike the movie.
