There Will Be Blood (2007) - PTA Digs Deep

PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON FILMOGRAPHY MARATHON

After having some laughs with PTA's prior efforts; there's no laughs to be had when there will be blood. The director digs a little deeper than he usually would, and the man strikes oil.

Ruthless silver miner, turned oil prospector, Daniel Plainview moves to oil-rich California. Using his adopted son HW to project a trustworthy, family-man image, Plainview cons local landowners into selling him their valuable properties for a pittance. However, local preacher Eli Sunday suspects Plainviews motives and intentions, starting a slow-burning feud that threatens both their lives.

Kane and Rhys go prospecting together, and fight the foundations of religion itself, in this hard to swallow, but dramatically satisfying film.
