“There Will Be Blood”, There Will Be Discussion

Gina Telaroli March 5, 2008 | 10:39 am EST

It may not have won Best Picture (should have!) but There Will Be Blood packed a cinematic punch with social messages galore. Paul Thomas Anderson’s epic tale of a California oil man and his experience in a religious small town doesn’t take sides and watching Danial Day-Lewis and Paul Dano discuss the issues that we are all indirectly dealing with everyday is pretty powerful. But with a story about oil and evangelism, There Will Be Blood has no doubt been fostering lots of discussion.

And action almost always begins with discussion.

To hear directly from Paul Thomas Anderson, grab a friend and listen to his interview on NPR. Then head for coffee (maybe a milkshake?) or some such thing and talk about the world we live in!

Also, watch below for one of my favorite scenes from the film.
