There Will Be Blood
my second PTA film, though i think of it as my first since liquorice pizza was tht + i wasn’t too familiar back then 😣
this is a very very good film, and oi as a primer to his stuff man - brilliant character study with the features of the elements of the church much like a touch point,
the feelings of reeling hatred, disgust and irrational greed just simmering and growing, it’s a particularly nasty form of evil -Sir Daniel cooooooked- the human condition as seen in a secular sense in full display here
this reads like a modern classic novel in the best sense, and i’m glad to have kinda gotten some of the broad themes on first go. a film you have to watch again and again there’s just so many well-executed and closed plot points
i really liked the tracking shots here too, and urm the bowing scene lmfaoaoaoaoo wow
