>Yet, Anderson’s story becomes stupidly fashionable in its stacked contest of Plainview vs. Eli, capitalist ruthlessness vs. religious fanaticism. The shabby set-up of Plainview and Eli’s ultimate confrontation in a bowling alley is so confusing and slapdash that their symbolic clash—where one forces the other to confess his shallowness and deny his beliefs—comes across as just secular-progressive prejudice and loopy, unconvincing drama. Each man is a thesis position, not a character. Is There Will Be Blood an undeniable expose of American ruthlessness, or a formidable dramatization of the struggle between power and faith? No!

it's fantastic desu, but you have to be in the right mindset to watch it. if you are, you'll be glued to the screen.

DUDE I DRANK YOUR MILKSHAKE LMAO

Armond White got dubs. The King has spoken.

a bunch of random scenes put together forming an artificial "epic". has some good acting and it's somewhat interesting until you realise how messy and empty it is. 5/10

Good critique anon, which publication do you write for? I wish to sub for more quality insightful reviews

>>81377939
This is a legitimate criticism if this is your first PTA film

I'm not writing to change your opinion on it. I know many people feel that way about it.

>>81378091
yes many of his other films could also be described like this, it's called dishonest filmmaking

Obviously not. Watch My Dinner With Andre if you want to see what an actual slow, talking movie is like.
