The first scene from There Will Be Blood

It’s crazy how long it goes on for without dialog

When my brother and I saw it for the first time we thought there was something wrong with the TV.

Wrong how? There’s still sound effects and music. Did you think the tv broke specifically from playing dialog?

It's possible that it was on a different audio track, but I dunno what glitch a tv or player could have which would cause that.

Our TV use to have a problem of playing just music and sound effects but not the dialogue.

Plainview also grunts and screams multiple times during the opening. It’s not a silent sequence in any way except he doesn’t talk to another person for the first four minutes.
