Tarantino on There Will Be Blood

Great discussion of TWBB with a little Boogie Nights thrown in as well.

PTA flew past him in 1997 and never looked back. I prefer Boogie Nights too and feel like the imbalance of adversaries in TWBB is too much. At least DDL rightfully wins in TWBB (in contrast to GONY) and is only done in by abundance and insanity.

I saw this video a few days ago (he also gives a great Taxi Driver review in the same series). Try this for all the links: http://popwatch.ew.com/2009/08/31/quentin-tarantino-movie-critic/

You could argue that QT and PTA have equal talent, but PTA was guided by a showbiz father with access to insiders and money. While QT had numerous father figures, no money, and was allowed to revel in 70s crap-trash culture.
