Sweet 16 (Tier 3): There Will Be Blood vs. Children of Men

We are getting down to the truly spectacular. Who can make it to the Elite 8?

THERE WILL BE BLOOD

"There are epic impulses everywhere you look in There Will Be Blood; what's missing is character development, focused storytelling and, most significantly (apart from that terrific opening sequence), any sense of raw, intuitive drama." - Stephanie Zacharek, Salon

CHILDREN OF MEN

"Bloated adaptation of P.D. James's thoughtful, compact novel." - Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

The winner will move on to the next round. The full bracket is attached below.

 

This is a very close one for me personally but I feel like TWBB will walk it so voting for Children of Men.

 

I could go either way with this one.

 

DDL for the win.

 

Children of Men. The long takes in that film are tough to beat.

 

Both are modern classics but TWBB takes it

 

'There Will Be Blood' strikes black gold

 

TWBB always and forever

 

I love Children of Men, but TWBB is a modern masterpiece. Hard to beat.

 

With 67 percent of the vote, There Will Be Blood will face Parasite in the Elite 8.

 

nice.
