FUCKIN A, i came into popcorn justto post about this. went to see this both when they came out and loved no country over there will be blood. but after i bought them and watched them, im giving the nod to there will be blood. and they're both modern classics to me.

while no country cinematically philosophizes on violnce, white male angst and choice/destiny, (along with the brillant acting dipicting texas in the early 80s), there will be blood is just fuckin epic in how it juxtaposes the conflicitng yet complimentary grossities of power within capitalism and the church during the turn of the century west. i'd also like to add the lines and certain scenes from there will be blood are more memorable.

also i think the ambiguities of the ending in no country hurt its perception within the greater movie watching community
