Whoa. I am not denying that Daniel Day Lewis is an amazing actor. But 72 hours after seeing this movie I am still trying to digest it. And trying to decide if it was horrible or excellent. I dont do violence and gore ( and infidelity or rape but that wasnt in this movie) and this movie had its fair share. I would like to see DDL play a warm loving person just to see if he could pull it off. I pretty much thought he was still playing Bill the Butcher from Gangs of NY in this role. Cinematography and overall acting were awesome. Seeing someone brains bashed out, not so much.

OK, you've had a couple more days to digest. What's your opinion? I'm really interested because we've got a date night coming up here soon and that was on my list of "I'd Like To See"s.Originally posted by Cumberland -

Re: there will be blood
Wasn't DDL in "My Left Foot" back in the day? Wasn't that more warm and fuzzy? He ended up in the romantic lead category somehow.

Re: there will be blood
First-- Wasn't DDL in the Last of the Mohicans??? I am pretty sure-- not warm and cozy, but he was a good guy.
DH rented this movie. It is LOOOOOOOOONG. I didn't know how long it would be. It is pretty slow at the start, actually with no dialog for about 15 minutes, but I can't decide where they could have/should have taken stuff out.
I will say that though I didn't like the movie, I thought DDL was really really great, and deserved his Oscar. I could see where the movie was going whenever a new character/situation was introduced, so that was annoying-- The story line didn't surprise me. There were virtually no females in the movie, except for some really minor roles. This is the kind of movie that they could have students dissect in a college class and write essays on the themes- envy, jealousy, etc., etc. DH kept trying to diagnose DDL's character's mental illness throughout it... :huh:Peggy

Re: there will be blood
This must have been yet another movie for the anesthesiologist, DH loved it but I'm still (many weeks later) trying to figure out what my feelings about it are. I agree that cinematography was excellent, as was DDL, but the rest was weird. And I don't really get the ending. It would make for a great college class dissection though.

Re: there will be blood
Great acting.
A well crafted movie technically.
The plot?
The ending?
I SOOOOO didn't get this movie.
I thought the grafic scenes were MINIMAL compared to "No Country for Old Men."
It left me going :huh: !Flynn
