second viewing today. enjoyed it just as much as the first.
on one hand, i understood it more (the twins made more sense)
on the other, it's seemed more self indulgent than before.
 
the scene after the well explodes, injuring HW, and Daniel and his right hand man are staring at the fire and then it cuts to the close-up of Daniel for a couple of minutes and during that time I really felt like he was channelling Welles' Citizen Kane.

Best movie of the year. i thought the editing in No Country was hasty and didn't think it was near the master piece this was, although it was a top quality movie.
 
there are not much movies i can give a full five stars too, but this was one of them. not what i expected at all. everything about it was top notch. the music was badass, at first i was like what the fuck why is it all eerie but it fits perfectly.
 
the slow pace and often minimal dialogue in various stages of the movie really added to the mood, I loved it. There really was minimal violence in the movie but it was all the more powerful and intense when it occurred, instead of being desensitised to such stuff in most movies.

Very cool look at oil/rural communities back then and the intensity of Eli and Daniel Day's character was awesome
 
LMFAO gold

I have a Bong it reeeeaaaaches accccrrrrosss the room. I. CLEAR.YOUR. BONG. I CLEAR IT OUT!
 
question: what makes him snap at that busines meeting threatening to cut the dude's throat?

the film seems to take a turn at that point. what is the reason for it?

it's been a few months, i don't remember.

i don't know how to use the spoiler tags

NSFW:
if i remember correctly he had just "replaced" his son with the guy he had thought to be his brother. obviously he felt remorse for this. the man referenced him sending his son away (on one hand to be taught how to cope with his injury, but mainly to remove the weakened link) and being the people person that he is, he politely told him to mind his own business, by threatening to cut his throat
 
wow. just watched.

this did not seem like a PTA film.

DDL on top form as usual. just amazing. perhaps some more sober reflections tomorrow ;) but this was one of the best films i've seen this year, definitely. :)

5/5

Well that's hardly a surprise 8).

*wanders off muttering and tuttering about tools of the Milatary-Industrial complex and general pigdoggery* ;)

I watched this a while back but was a trifle tipsy at the time. It's a testament to how good a film it was that I managed to not only follow it and remember it, but also that it held my drunken attention from beginning to end :).

Reading some of the posts here make me want to watch it again in more sober state.
 
There will be blood

I searched this forum but no mention of the movie. Paul Thomas Andersons(thats the good Anderson from Magnolia, boogie nights etc. Not the alein v predator Anderson!) 2007 master piece based on Upton sinclairs 'Oil!' in my mind is one of the most brilliant art works put to film in the last decade I my mind. If only it was released a different year as The Coens 'no country for old men' it would have cleaned up oscar night.
Anyway I watched again today and was just as blown away as first watch. The cinematography/ landscape was almost Kubricks 'barry Lyndon' like , impeccable direction, writing and not to mention the acting of a life time by Daniel Day Lewis. I decided to ask others options after reading and hearing negative reviews from people online. To me a master-piece of this decade along with "the Departed' and 'No country for old men'.
Agreed? Discuss
 
Personally it's perhaps my least favourite PT Anderson flick. It's not a bad movie, obviously, but it seemed to be the closest thing he's made to an Oscar contender. Although very well written and filmed, etc, it didn't interest me that much. I thought it was overdone, including (or perhaps particularly) Daniel Day Lewis' performance. Not my favourite role for him either. When he said "I abandoned my son!" I distinctly remember laughing. I thought his accent was a bit off... I liked the preacher, Eli I think his name was.

Most people agree with you about the film, though. In it's bluelight poll it got almost entirely 5 star ratings. I'd give it a 3 1/2.

There's already a thread about it here:
