“There Will Be Blood” and “Requiem For A Dream” are as different from one another as you could imagine. One’s a turn-of-the-century period piece, and the other is a New Millennium film. One is a wide-ranging, sprawling long-time epic, the other narratively and spatially claustrophobic. But both the films had cinema-changing things to say about the American dream, and how easily it is broken and perverted inside-out by the rot of obsession.

This video examines how directors Paul Thomas Anderson and Darren Aronofsky use different styles to create career-defining cinema about the American Dream.
