I saw There Will Be Blood last night. Like Leslie, I have to think about it some more. I came out of it and told my husband, "I don't think I get it." It seemed like it marshalled a lot of powerful elements -- powerful acting, impressive sets and costumes, an epic plot -- to say ... well, what exactly?
I'm still not sure. Although as we talked about it over dinner, it started to feel a bit more cohesive.
And today I'm still thinking about it. It's like it works on an almost unconscious level.
