"I have a competition in me...I want no one else to succeed."
On this episode of Remainders, our hosts discuss the fully American and borderline horror film There Will Be Blood.
Many cite There Will Be Blood as a contemporary classic largely because of Daniel Day-Lewis’ maniacal performance as quintessential capitalist and oilman Daniel Plainview. But it’s also the intricate themes of power and debilitating obsession that continue to resonate in a world dominated by religious threat and the pursuit of wealth. Darren and Patrick ask what There Will Be Blood can teach us about the two most powerful ideas in a self-indulgent America: Money and Religion.
Join us on this episode of Remainders as we journey through an ocean of oil and ask what remains.
