"There Will Be Blood"- up for best picture of the year, parades as a movie about oil drilling in early America, but is really about portraying Christianity as weird, greedy and phony. The plot is about two greedy men, one a hard working oil finder and the other a deranged preacher. The preacher who is weird, false, greedy and twisted threatens to use the oil mans sins against him publicly to force him to accept Christ in order to bribe and take his money. He humiliates the oil man. It doesn't work, and in the end the preacher begs the oil man for money, the bitter oil man commands the preacher to confess, "I am a false prophet, and God is a fairy-tale" in order to get the money, the preacher asks for a higher amount before he renounces Christ. The preacher renounces God, and when he does, the oil man kills him in a fury of hate. Thus the title, "There Will Be Blood."
