I'll never understand why critics rave about this boring-ass film

$5 on blu-ray at target. should've beaten No Country for Old Men for best picture. Javier Bardem was great but the rest of the movie pales in comparison

No, 70s

Honestly it comes off more as a film that's trying too hard

Back to IMDB friend. No Country For Old Men is a masterpiece. There Will Be Blood is a video game enabling hot pocket receptical.

Yes the movie about comic book assassins and "fuckin' epic" shootouts is the deep one. The one that use Arvo Part and biblical metaphor is the videogame.

>>79442174

No Country is a 9/10 movie but TWBB is 10/10. It's comparing a piece of art to a very very good movie. Both have great actors at the top of their game, but TWBB is more visually appealing and has a better narrative.

Weak fucking bait.

>>79442522
how is it bland?

>>79442535

take javier bardem out. now where is this movie? basically a 3/10

>>79442522
Malick and PTA are truly reddit trash.

Zack Snyder and superhero movies are superior to those two hacks.

>>79442234
You fell for PTA's artifice of legitimacy. TWBB is a video game in disguise as a kino. No Country is a kino in disguise as a video game.

You are cinematically illiterate if you fall for PTA's memes.
>dude I use the work of a respected composer and throw in some of the least subtle religious imagery ever seen outside of a Zack Snyder movie so I'm making worthwhile art lmao.

>>79442564
Take DDL out of TWBB, what are you left with? But it doesn't matter since they're in the movie now, does it?

>>79442655
Give some actual reasons why NCfoM is better than TWBB. Strawman arguments aren't real arguments.

Also religion being crucial to the story does not mean that PTA is trying to shove obvious metaphor like Snyder did.

>>79442667

DLL wasn't the movie though. he gave a great performance but the movie was still amazing. probably a 7/10 without him

DDL is what elevated it to masterpiece status.

>>79442711
Sure, you'd see a business rising without knowing who's behind it. Would be pretty interresting.

In No Country for Old Men, people would die around you, they'd talk about the guy who's after you without showing him. You'd miss out on a great performance but you'd still be on the edge of your seat.

>>79442564
Bardem is nowhere near one of the most impressive parts of that movie but it's no surprise why a /v/edditor would only be able to appreciate the epin killer character. No Country for Old Men is the kind of seemingly effortless mastery of cinema that a self conscious fanboy autist like PTA could never hope to replicate. Of course the more unsophisticated viewers are attracted to the showier work. The one with the flashy cinematography, meme acting and the tone of THIS IS CINEMA PAY ATTENTION. The replica masterpiece.

>>79441471

Examination of greed, capitalism and religion with about as much depth as an upper tier capeshit movie. Really that's just an excuse for PTA to play auteur and wave his dick in your face for two and a half hours though.

>hurr durr autist finds success, clashes with a preacher and becomes increasingly autistic as his wealth grows.
You can simplify any film like that.

Adolescence is idolizing PTA. Adulthood is realizing that the Coens are the great american auteurs.

You have actuals reasons to back that claim up?

PTA is overrated as fuck but twbb is a masterpiece

>>79443376
There Will Be Blood employs video game sensibilities to give his film appeal to his audiences, thus continuing the cycle of masturbation and degeneracy. It has the same fundental pro-audience sensibility as capeshit, despite what its "classic" veneer wants you to believe. No Country For Old Men on the otherhand takes the capeshit video game and weaponizes it against its audience. Audience antagonization is always more ideologically laudible then audience enabling.

PTA made a pulsating hot pocket. The Coens made an expertly crafted dagger, lured the capeshitters in and then plunged it deep into their fleshy mass.

>>79443511
It's adolescent-core. Inherent Vice, Punch Drunk Love and The Master are the only worthwhile things he's made.

There Will Be Blood is the autistic child on the supermarket floor wailing for his mother to buy him the latest lego set.

>>79443624
You can shout buzzword all you want, it doesn't change the fact that you are an adult video game player and everybody here knows it. It's impossible for your kind to hide it. The scent of cheeto dust will follow you wherever you go so long as you continue to wallow in your degeneracy.

>>79443513
Can you even read? Are you literate?

more empty insults
>No Country For Old Men on the otherhand takes the capeshit video game and weaponizes it against its audience. Audience antagonization is always more ideologically laudable then laudable enabling.
For one you can't spell. You argument here makes no sense. Can you explain what you actually mean? You seem to have this idea that only you have understood NCfOM. This is not the case.
>PTA made a pulsating hot pocket. The Coens made an expertly crafted dagger, lured the capeshitters in and then plunged it deep into their fleshy mass.
Conclusion with no evidence.

In summary you arguments seem to be empty insults, memes and buzzwords. You seem to think that people who dislike NCfOM did not understand it. You do not give any valid reasons for it being a movie of quality.

What you're doing here is you're making a proof by assertion. In your mind if you repeat the same argument you will be right. This is a logical fallacy. You're also trying to make your argument as confusing as possible thinking I won't be able to follow it.

>>79443937
You didn't make any points other than discrediting all high level cinematic language as memes and buzzwords. There is no room for art discussion without insults. Phystical violence. Uncompromizing brutality. This is the realm of hard art neo-sincerity. The mindset that the cinema landscape would be non-confrontational is the cancer of the jew endorsed infantilized capeshit cheeto dust hugbox culture.

>>79444009
More like you enjoy it when you're young and stupid but once you grow up and strip all the autism from your mind you realize that it is in fact just a meme film. No neurotypical should think that PTA is anything worth clinging to.

>>79444036
>You didn't make any points other than discrediting all high level cinematic language as memes and buzzwords.

If you think art can exist without bloodshed then you are video games. You are masturbatory moltren cheese wallowing. You are Tarantino. You are capeshit. You are non-neurotypical.

No. Picture a ladder. This is cinema.

Let's say we have Avengers at rung 1, Michael Bay at rung 2. Nolantino at rung 3. Fincheneueve at rung 4. PTA at rung 5. Coens at rung 6 and so on, through scorcese, Malick, Herzog, Cronenberg, Lynch, Haneke Tarr and ending in the complete transcendence of cinema. It is the duty of the man who climbs the ladder to destroy all beneath him. As means of purifcation.
