Upon rewatching the beginning of There Will Be Blood, one thing struck me immediately—something I’m shocked that I didn’t realize before. The film begins with a blank screen, a title card, and then a fade from black. The score, however, consists of haunting, slowly-swelling strings. The sound immediately conjured thoughts of the overture from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
