This is a ridiculously overrated film
You get more plot and character development in a Chuck Norris film.
Plainview (Day Lewis) starts the film as a poor tight miserable c*nt and ends it a as a rich tight miserable c*nt.
Along the way he crosses the path and swindles a fanatical religious fundie – but he’s never developed so we can’t decide how genuine the pastor is or not.
He gets stroppy about being perceived to abandon his adopted son but labels him a bastard later. He has no libido and no women feature in the film. His only interest is cash but even that is not developed.
I didn’t care what happened as the plot jumped around like something an ADS teenager would write.
The film ends with him beating the pastor to death then he turns around to the camera and says ‘I’m finished’ and the film ends. I was expecting a loony tunes logo to pop up with ‘that’s all folks’.
And it’s long. Save time. Watch bugs bunny instead.
