THERE WILL BE BLOOD (Shown with Subtitles for Deaf and HOH)Sunday, September 28 @ 12:30pm General Admission $6.75 Advance online purchase available. Click tickets and go to September 28 "As astounding in its emotional force and as haunting and mysterious as anything seen in American movies in recent years." - David Denby, The New Yorker This is a very timely featured film due to the oil price crisis that we are facing now. Let us watch this action-packed film for a very meaningful and historical retrospective look back in the wild oil-catting days in the 1920's. This film features H.W., a boy who becomes deaf due to an accident (H.W. is played first by a actor, Dillon Freasier as a boy and then is played later on by a deaf actor, Russell Harvard as a adult) with his father, Daniel Plainview (played by Daniel Day-Lewis in his academy award winning performance) who becomes an oilman. Please come and see how every human value such as love, hope, community, belief, ambition and even the bond between father and son is affected by the flow of oil due to corruption and deception. dir Paul Thomas Anderson, w/ Daniel Day Lewis, Paul Dano, Ciaran Hands, Kevin J. O'Connor, and Dillion Freasier, 2h38m |
