I saw 'There Will Be Blood' with Awesome last week, and it was the first movie in a long time that, when I walked out, I had no idea what I just saw. It was gorgeous and difficult, but I had no idea what it said. This, from David Denby in the New Yorker (article), is really helpful:
"Anderson [the diretor] has set up a kind of allegory of American development in which two overwhelming forces—entrepreneurial capitalism [Daniel Day Lewis' character] and evangelism [the kid from 'Little Miss Sunshine's character] —both operate on the border of fraudulence; together, they will build Southern California, though the two men representing them are so belligerent that they fall into combat."
