There Will Be Blood DVD Summary Writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson steps outside his contemporary world of dysfunctional Angelenos to explore a very different dysfunctional man -- an oil pioneer whose trailblazing spirit is equaled only by his murderous ambition.

There Will Be Blood is Anderson's loose adaptation of the novel Oil! by Upton Sinclair, and it focuses its attentions on Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis), a failed silver miner who happens upon black gold during a disastrous excavation that ends in a broken leg.

Pulling himself up from the bowels of the earth, both literally and metaphorically, Plainview embarks on a systematic and steadfast approach to mastering the oil business.

Using plain-spoken and straightforward language, and accompanied by his young son, H.

W.

(Dillon Freasier), Plainview launches a campaign to convince small-town property owners they should let him drill their land.

Without him, they won't have the equipment to access the profit beneath their feet.

He builds an empire this way -- and gradually becomes obsessed with the intrinsic value of power, growing increasingly irascible and paranoid in the process.

Plainview meets his match in Eli Sunday (Paul Dano), a teenage preacher in the small California town of Little Boston, whose brother tipped Plainview off to the town's plentiful supply of untapped oil.

To fully reap the benefits of the land, Plainview must suffer the opposing whims of this "prophet," whose legitimacy is questionable at best.

And it's unclear either man is prepared to pay the humiliating price the other wants to exact.

There Will Be Blood features an anachronistic percussive soundtrack by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, and it was shot in the same town where the James Dean epic Giant was filmed.

There Will Be Blood DVD Outside Critic Reviews "A haunting enigma that refuses to conform to any recognizable pattern, period or otherwise. I suppose you could see it as a descendant of Citizen Kane. But such comparisons aren't really fair to either film." - Dallas Morning News

" There Will Be Blood is anti-state of the art. It's the work of an analog filmmaker railing against an increasingly digitized world. In that sense, the movie is idiosyncratic, too: vintage visionary stuff. It's physical and tactile. " - Boston Globe

"There Will Be Blood hits with hurricane force. Lovers of formula and sugarcoating will hate it. Screw them. In terms of excitement, imagination and rule-busting experimentation, it's a gusher" - Rolling Stone
