May I illustrate to you how amazing There will be Blood is? Just like the classic The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly there is absolutely no dialogue for the first 15 minutes of the film, yet the shot composition and activity are entertaining enough to the point where dialogue would be futile. The first words uttered in the film is a monologue by Daniel Day Lewis pitching his oil company to people that own the land he wants to drill on. His first words give you an insight on to all his cares in the world: money, and oil. As I am sure you don't want to hear me rant about this movie even further, if you have not seen it I definitely recommend it, especially if you are a P.T. Anderson fan (Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love, Boogie Nights). I could yammer incessantly about how much I absolutely love his films but I will save you the grief.
For me, watch at least one Paul Thomas Anderson film this week.
For Now,
Alexis
