Earlier in the week, I gave a small presentation in class regarding my views as a history student when i watched the film “There Will Be Blood”. Before I write about the history perspective, I’ll give some background information of the film in order for my point to be easier understood. The film takes place in the early 20th century in Southern California, which was the scene of an oil boom. In order to be authentic, the environment and clothing reflects how it originally appeared. As I watched the movie, I couldn’t help but think how rapidly the environment has changed in Southern California, from a wilderness to a continuous chain of cities from San Diego to Los Angeles and beyond. I am glad that the movie took special care to show this, since there is a number of movies with historical settings that place little emphasis on historical accuracy.
