there will be blood

a character driven film directed by paul thomas anderson and based on the 1927 novel "oil!" by upton sinclair. daniel day-lewis plays the lead "daniel plainview" and gives his usual "oscar-caliber" performance is known for giving as he only seems to act in 2 films every decade. plainview on the surface seems like a simple man trying to get rich off the oil business but when his motives are questioned by a young evangelical preacher (played by paul dano of little miss sunshine) in a small california farming town we soon see another side of him. much more than just a fierce competitor and entrepreneur he doesn't want to just be the best, he wants to see no one else succeed...ever...at all costs. the film documents his decent into madness spanning nearly 30 years from 1898-1927. it is an allegory on consumerism versus faith. it has some of the best character development since taxi driver.

unfortunately i have a feeling this movie will only be remembered by some people for a specific line of dialog "i drink your milkshake! i drink it up!"
guy: i wanna see that movie where the guy says "i drink your milkshake!!!"

me: it called "there will be blood" and if that's the only thing that interests you in seeing this film...don't bother. it's nearly 3 hours long and a character driven period piece. you are much better just watching that clip over and over on "you-tube" and saying it to your friends until you bore of it. because you will most like be bored by this film. i also recommend you go watch napoleon dynamite again...it will have many more quotables for you!

There Will Be Bloodshed

The song from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and theme song of Jetstream Sam, the biggest and most handsome Brazilian man to ever live. Only the most Gigachad and Based people can listen to it.
Verse 1
Memories broken
The truth goes unspoken
I’ve even forgotten my name
I don’t know the season
Or what is the reason
I’m standing here holding my blade
A desolate place
Without any trace
It’s only the cold wind I feel
It’s me that I spite
As I stand up and fight
The only thing I know for real

Chorus
There will be bloodshed
The man in the mirror nods his head
The only one
Left
Will ride upon the dragon’s back
Because the mountains don’t give back what they take
Oh, no, there will be blood-
-shed
It’s the only thing I’ve ever known

Verse 2
Losing my identity
Wondering, have I gone insane?
To find the truth in front of me
I must climb this mountain range
Looking downward from this deadly height
And never realizing why I fight
