In this episode we discuss the modern American classic ‘There Will Be Blood’; there is so much to dissect in this film that it’s difficult to stay strictly on topic… we cover capitalism vs. religion and how the characters represent each of those things, both generally and in the context of the early 20th century.
We talk about the father-son relationship and what it means, and we even talk about happiness. And of course, we talk about the tour de force from Daniel Day-Lewis as the utterly magnetic Daniel Plainview. In all honesty, we probably do little more than scratch the surface of this masterpiece, but we give it our best shot. As always, thanks for joining us, we hope you enjoy the episode!
