Radical Wolfe (2023)
Politically driven that would make Wolfe ashamed
This story bends over backwards to brand Wolfe a 'radical'. He was an alternative thinker and writer, but he also embraced certain conservative values. He was a true Virginia Genltleman. The fact that this doc does not even mention his undergraduate degree from Washington and Lee University, and goes out of its way to impress the facade that the entirety of his education was in New Haven at Yale is absurdly disingenuous and purposely misleading. Wolfe was incredibly proud of Washington and Lee. He was on the Board of Trustees. He spoke there often. It was a huge part of his writing and the fact that this doc just white washes an institution he absolutely revered is incredibly shameful.
There Will Be Blood (2007)
Not that great...
Technically I thought this film was marvelous. Some of the best acting I've ever seen and the score and cinematography were outstanding as well. But the story was the problem here. All of the various plot lines, save Daniel's conflict with Eli, just didn't really seem to go anywhere.
SPOILERS AHEAD 'Oh, you're my Brother!? Welcome! I hate most people, but you are my brother so I will welcome you!' Anticipate story arc. 'Oh, you are not my brother. I shoot you.' End of story line.
None of the plot elements really went anywhere. And the end was a complete cop out. I left asking, "What's the point?"
