I swear I wanted to watch this movie even before Daniel Day-Lewis got the Oscar... and despite of the weird title (the Hungarian version is even worse, e.g. "Bleeding oil"). Therefore I refused to read any information related to it (I did not even know what era it is set) because the presence of my actor-idol was enough. Briefly put: it is worth watching, mainly because of his acting as the movie itself is sometimes a bit too slow. This should be enough so go and watch it (or for stay-home mums: you can rent it as well, you won't loose anything by not watching it on big screen.)The main interest of the movie (for me) comes from the fact that you are never sure if you should like or hate Daniel - both feelings are justified. I cannot help but sympathise with him but I am sure tarelle will hate him to the bones. That's one of the big issues between us, by the way: my ability of finding excuses for almost everybody. So, contest: how good are you for finding excuses for stupid/mean/boring/etc. people? I am too good a catholic, it seems, I can (almost) always at least feel sorry for that sort of people - sometimes even forgive them. Can you?

No.
But I am sure I wil love the movie. Your tastes for actors are my ultimate reference.
Forgive...it is so nice to say that yes, I forgive and find excuse. .I don't really have enemies whom I hate to the bones.
I have things, acts what I cannot forget and I get angry when I recall those, in spite of the years went since.
But I try not to judge the whole person based on that, and I strongly belive that everybody has a good side. Well hidden, sometimes :)
