Let me preface, I loved Paul Dano and Daniel Day Lewis. I did not love the film. I really thought it was a colassal bore. I did not get the EPIC nature of the film at all.

I loved the nuance at the very end in DDL's cry I'm Finished (in more ways than one). Paul Dano was, I think, creepier than Javiar Bardem in NCFM (which I loved as a film and will buy on DVD)

What am I missing here?
Everyone has such a different take on this film, which is maybe the most interesting thing about the movie, the first hour excepted (because I loved it so much).

I actually didn't care for Dano, and most people seemed to. Times I liked him, times I thought his performance was terrible.

And though I also think DDL overdid the last 15 or 20 minutes, I also very much like his delivery of that final line. That was, as you said, nuanced.
