Listen ""There Will Be Blood" with Vitaliy Prokopets"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Vitaly Prokopets to talk about the movie there will be blood.
There Will Be Blood (2007) is a dramatic epic directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, based loosely on Upton Sinclair’s novel Oil!. Set in the early 20th century, it follows the ruthless rise of Daniel Plainview, a silver miner turned oil tycoon, portrayed by Daniel Day-Lewis in an Oscar-winning performance. As Plainview builds his empire, his ambition, greed, and mistrust of others—particularly a young preacher named Eli Sunday—drive him to moral and psychological ruin. The film is known for its haunting score, stark cinematography, and powerful exploration of capitalism, faith, and isolation.
In this conversation, we touch on subjects about fatherhood about friendship, people and obsession.
Is obsession a good thing or bad thing why or why not?
Is there something in your life that you would trade everything for in order to achieve?
Is there something in your life you would be obsessed over and would it actually get you the thing everyone truly desires?
Relationship.
