Our second double feature of Season 2 features the theme of “character study” films which follow central figures and are more driven by their internal struggles than external plot points. Joined by guest Brian Skuttle, the two character study films we discuss are There Will Be Blood starring Daniel Day Lewis as Daniel Plainview and Nightcrawler starring Jake Gyllenhaal as Lou Bloom. We compare these two characters and how far they are willing to go to achieve their goals.
