A&C staff duke it out over ‘There Will Be Blood’
“There Will Be Blood” is an epic film that brings together larger than life characters.
Daniel Day-Lewis brings to the screen a persona that cannot be matched.
Director Paul Thomas Anderson shifts gears for this new film that is much different from his previous works.
This film has been six years in the making.
Anderson is a meticulous auteur who makes the most of the talent that he surrounds himself with.
Loosely based on the novel “Oil!” by Upton Sinclair, the film follows the story of a self proclaimed “oil man” and his interactions with a “Religious prophet” while both look to gain profit from the oil under their feet.
Accompanied by an excellent haunting musical score from Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead, this film works on all levels and would be a shame to miss.
This film has just been nominated for eight Academy Awards and this is the first time that Anderson has a shot to earn the recognition that he deserves in America.
Film lovers have known about Anderson for years.
With international acclaim, Anderson has been a name to watch for years.
Film fans will love the latest work from Anderson.
Fans of formulaic simple Hollywood garbage will best look to YouTube and lesser quality downloads to be entertained.
Film, much more than entertainment, is a collaboration artform that combines visual, emotional and musical elements that accomplish much more than a good time.
Viewing 35mm film in a theater is the only way to fully experience the artform.
“There Will be Blood” will be in theaters for the next month or so.
See this in the theater and enjoy.
For anyone who enjoyed this film, be sure to check out “Sydney,” “Boogie Nights,” “Magnolia” and “Punch Drunk Love,” also by Anderson, “Days Of Heaven” and “Badlands.”
