There will be blood - trailer (teaser)

[dubman]

i think a friend of mine interned for him on this movie.
it all happened because he stood up during a Q and A and compacted his intense appreciation of him along with mentioning that he was a film student and thought the most direct way to acheive a dream would be to just ask him, so he did.

paul mulls it over and says "sure, see me when this is done"

and that was that.

I went to a midnight showing of the film last night as Portland was one of the 29 cities in the States showing the film.

WOW.

That was a pretty incredible film. There is so much I want to say about the film but don't want to spoil any of it for anyone anticipating seeing this film. The less you know about the film, the better.

But yeah, the score is perfect, the photography is transporting, acting by Day Lewis just levels you at times.

It's strange for a Paul Thomas Anderson film too as at times it feels so remote from anything he's done to this point in his career but then there is a familiarness to it all.

Anyone else see it this weekend in NY/LA?

I saw this at the Arclight Hollywood on opening night. I'll write more later... I thought it was a damn fine film but I'm not sure I liked the ending.

The more I've thought about the ending since seeing the film on Saturday night, the more I've come to admire it in it's audacity and as a conclusion of the film's story.

Was there a point to any of that?
The discordant music annoys me - I feel it is a cheap wrench of the emotional lever to provoke an audience reaction - perhaps because the actual events of the film are dragging.

I enjoyed the acting and it didn't feel like it was as long as it was...but was there a purpose to any of it?
