Alas, I am not in Austin but in New York City - but if I was there at SXSW, these are 10 films I would be seeing. They’re all TakePart friendly (advocate social change and action) in their own particular way - even if it isn’t obvious right up front.
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.
