THERE WILL BE BLOOD and Corpus Christi | Movies After Mass

from Catholic Film Club · host Benedictine College

We're talking There Will Be Blood on the solemnity of Corpus Christi. And, no, it's not just because both are about "blood." We're analyzing two famous scenes from this film about a misanthropic oil prospector, Daniel Plainview, played in Oscar-Winning fashion by Daniel-Day Lewis. In the first, he is baptised by his rival, a craven young preacher named Eli Sunday. In the second scene... well it's the last scene so that would be a spoiler. What occurs is a fascinating INVERSION (we seem to do a lot of those) of the mass. The Catholic Film Club is a podcast about Craft & Conscience in the movies.
