I saw There Will Be Blood in theaters twice, I think. Maybe three times. In two and a half, almost three years, I have chased the feeling that I had after watching this conclude. Whether in or out of a theater. I sat in awe of what I had witnessed. I became a sea of excitement, a river of admiration, a pond of useless metaphors. No other film has ever left me feeling the way There Will Be Blood has, not even Dr. Strangelove, and I fear that continuing to hope to ever experience that feeling again is basically a futile endeavor.
