There Will Be Blood - now with child/partner forum we call H.W.

[max from fearless]

Years and years ago i posted a draft of the there will be blood script which was an earlier draft than the one released for consideration. That script changed my life in a way. It was such a brilliant construction and now think probably one of the best screenplays I've read - in the same rarefied air as Network for sure. Anyways, long story short. I just read another screenplay that struck the same nerve that TWBB did all those years back. The film is in production, top tier director (PTA has mentioned them in the past) Also a family story with a poltical undercurrent that is clearly present but never needs to named. One thing I thought about that draft of TWBB was how there was this religous/mystical element that the film kind of evades. In the movie theyre both charlatans, the script too, but there was also this - what if energy...If I remember correctly the script posits/suggests a little more forcefully that if the well maybe had been blessed Daniel's son would maybe not have gotten hurt, whereas in the film everything feels very matter-of-fact. Like, I remember reading the script that first time and wishing the well got blessed by Eli. It would be The Master where realism surrealism mysticism and magic become possible and then in Phantom Thread where we actually witness a spectral occurence. Well, in this other script which I can't name (back in the day I would've posted it but my lord how times have changed) this story crosses those lines and mixes the surreal and magical pretty well. I'm glad that film can still be potent electrifying art and that filmmakers are still shooting for the damn moon! It also makes me excited for PTA's new one as these films will be out, fingers crossed in the same year fingers crossed...
