...is what, for me, makes There Will Be Blood so great. Whilst the finale is certainly unexpected, not entirely convincing and defies most of the rules of modern cinema, I loved it. As the grotesque Plainview bellowed "I'm finished!", everyone in the audience simultaneously held their breath in a shocked silence. There Will Be Blood is one of the most ambitious, beautiful and unpredictable films of the new millennium. It's also incredibly divisive. ...
...is generally the case) or you will find it hammy. The shrieking, atonal score will haunt or annoy you. As for the ending, well, it either will blow your mind and go down as one of the best climaxes in the history of cinema, or leave you shaking your head in disbelief that the director could do something so ridiculous after the excellent preceding two hours of the film. Either way, you have to admire Anderson's audacity. ... Read review

...different and each ends with P.S. I love you. It is quite a romantic film, which could make you cry, but is light hearted all at the same time.

By the time his letter stop Holly is stronger and is ready to move on as she has accepted what has happened and that he has died. Throughout the film you find out how Holly and Gerry met, about their relationship ...
...You feel like you can relate to them. Hilary Swank is the main character in this film. She is Holly and I think she plays the part very well. She shows Holly's emoticons well. Gerry is played by Gerard Butler who also puts on a good performance as the loveable Gerry. The only problem is his Irish accent wasn't good at all. Being Irish myself I struggled to work out why he was speaking so funny (I thought he had a lisp). Also I never would have figured ... Read review

...that I wanted to see the film, and the trailers looked good. Hubby was a bit undecided but agreed that he would accompany me to the cinema. I think that secretly he wanted to see the film but just did not want to admit the fact! So off we toddled to the cinema, paid our money and sat down. I was excited to see what these two legends would come up with as they are both legends in their own right and for them to team up now; well lets just say that ...
...who he annoys. Chambers, on the other hand, is a mechanic, working class and a bit of a history expert. They find out that they do have something in common - they are both dying.

...twisted undergrowth of an Australian Lantana bush. She is wearing one shoe. The music is creepy and very atmospheric and the camera lingers upon this image for quite some time. This image of the bush is also metaphorical for the deeply disturbed and intertwined relationships within this story. This is probably the best part of the film. - Lantana is an interwoven murder mystery with quite a few cast members thrown into the pot. I would say that ... Read review
