There Will Be Blood

I gotta go find a theater to see this in, I just know this goes hard af on a big screen. Also Tarantino is suuuuch a hater 😭 Paul Dano plays the patronizing religious weasel very convincingly. Can you imagine how boring this film would be if Eli was just another Daniel Plainview incarnate. Their dynamic is perhaps the most interesting part of the film for me; these two characters have so much contempt for one another because they’re essentially two sides of the same coin. One is just more self righteous in their desire to dominate.  Convinced Tarantino is just Daniel Plainview nerd version in real life.
