Shutter Island
California
late nineteenth in full oil rush. The black gold enriches those who find it, transformed the region and gives prosperity to its inhabitants, in what was once barren land and barren. Roam around the country thirsty men of fortune, trying to take over those lands containing the desired resource. Daniel
Plainview is one of them. An old retired miner, working his way into the burgeoning world of oil business. He is accompanied by a child, presenting as his son. Together they roam desolate regions of the U.S.
land looking to exploit. But convincing people to sell them at low cost valuable lands not always be easy.
There will Be blood is a film based on the book Oil
of
Upton Sinclair on oil rush in U.S.
, transformation and consolidation of society American and values.
And this picture is forged through the story of three characters (an oilman, his son and a preacher), whose lives are severely changed by the oil itself enriches them. These two readings
well make a great movie, not only by his faithful
representation of the nineteenth century America
, but also by its protagonists. Daniel
Plainview, the oil in search of fortune, is the theme throughout the film, a dour and cryptic character, consumed by his own desire, played excellently by Daniel
Day
-
Lewis .
As a counterpoint, Eli
Sunday, a young preacher who boasts big dramatic skills in his sermons. Daniels
shared with a vested interest to succeed, only that the fortune you are looking for treasure, instead of oil, are more loyal to their own church.
religious fanaticism Eli collide abruptly with the deep skepticism of
Daniel , thus forming the basis of a relationship
deeply concerned between the two, which will bring dire consequences.
With an atmosphere as dim as the plot itself, the film photography is more than remarkable
, yellow boxes
desert landscapes where you can admire the crisp wells that can jump in any time in flames. The gloom of the landscape falls to perfection a story where corruption is slowly attacking their character.
Definitely, a recommended work, both technically and artistically, that could help turn
com many of the current ills of our society.
