Roger Ebert said in 2007 that No Country For Old Men was the masterpiece over There Will Be Blood but I'd beg to differ. No Country For Old Men was impeccable but to me still it was still filmmaking. This movie was motherfucking *art*. It was maybe the most in depth character study of the inner greed and evils of mankind and the violence, cruelty & imperfections that come along with it. There are so many parts of this movie that make you feel uncomfortable, but it's because 99% of films are made to help us escape reality. Daniel Day Lewis went so far beyond acting here it's not even funny. There Will Be Blood takes reality and forces you to have a conversation with it. Such a powerful film.

I agree with Ebert. There Will Be Blood is inferior to No Country. There will be Blood's flaw is the writing, directing, and acting of the role(s) played by Paul Dano. This could've been a legitimate BATTLE for the Soul of America, but as cast and directed the end of this "battle" is forgone, the tension weak and contrived, the Dano character FAR overmatched by Lewis' Plainview.

Daniel Plainview should be amongst characters like Tony Soprano and Walter White as one of the best characters ever written. I agree that I think that Daniel loves H. W., yes he does shamelessly use him in points to promote his business as a 'family business' but when Daniel is forced to send H. W. away, you can see that he does care for the boy, perhaps feel the closest thing to love that he's ever encountered. He also genuinely cared about the man who he believed to be his brother and you can see the pain in his expression when he learns that the man was tricking him and his actual brother was dead. Also, you can see the sadness and genuine reluctance in his face when Eli forces him to 'admit' that he 'abandoned' H. W. But, as per usual in Daniel's case, his spite and egotism is what drove H. W. away and I think deep down, Daniel knows that.

I love the score written by Jonny Greenwood. Suits the movie like a glove. Pity his work isn't utilized more. Too many bombastic scores today that follow a set formula. I interpret Daniel's "I'm finished" as Daniel realizing he has nothing left in his life as a human and no friends left. He is truly a lonely man. It's fair to assume that he's asexual and his only real passion is his business and the desire to "retire from everybody". Since he views people purely as means rather than friends or colleagues his list of people close to him is short and he gradually lose all of them as the years pass. It's interesting to see how he felt sad knowing his real half brother died (before killing the impostor) leaving him without any close relatives he can feel some connection with. His adapted son H.W. drifts further away from him as he grows up and when the split comes Daniel completely disowns him and reveals that he's actually *not* his biological son. There won't be anybody that will inherit him or his work and he loses his son too. Eli Sunday is his last "friend" by virtue of knowing him for so many years and for managing (he thinks) to get Daniel to join the Church of the Third Revelation. Unbeknownst to Eli he signed his own doom when he revealed that Bandy finally passed away aged 99. With him dead the leverage on Daniel is finally gone - Bandy having witnessed Daniel digging down the impostor after shooting him. It's also fair to assume that Daniel Plainview is an atheist as he find great joy in humiliating Eli by asking him to repeat that God is superstition. He was forced by Bandy to become a member of the Church of Third Revelation and endured Eli's slapping. Later Eli's sister falls in love with H.W. so Daniel has yet another reason to blame Eli and his congregation. Daniel brutally kills Eli and realizes that he truly has nobody left in his life anymore, he is finally totally alone and the last remnants of his humanity is gone. "I'm finished." I'm not sure Daniel will go to prison for the murder of Eli. He has murdered before and I doubt his servant will bear witness against him. No, Daniel will live the reminder of his life as a king of an empty castle. He has everything material but has nothing to be remembered by since all his close ones and "friends" are finally all gone. I like how he actually originally set out to mine silver but accidentally found oil and switched trade. It's interesting to see that despite him being a "wealthy oil man" he is small fry compared to the monstrously large Standard Oil company (Rockefeller's empire) and harshly declines the offer the officials offered him for his land even threatening them personally. Basically he had to be really tough and ruthless to have a chance at all against the might of Standard Oil. Those that couldn't be muscled out by Standard Oil were bought out... The reason Plainview needs the pipeline is because if he transports the oil by rail most of what he earns is "eaten up" by the railroad company - which so happens to be owned by Standard Oil. This is an important historical document of the reality independent oil men faced at the start of the 20th century. DDL is a damn fine actor. Probably the greatest male actor of our generation. It's amazing how Paul.T.Anderson manages to tell a whole backstory and the early days of Plainview by the whole first 20 minutes of film being completely without dialogue. I guess a lot of people had turned the movie off by this point thinking it would be mute throughout. Great film making *few* dare today. I also like that the smooth talking Daniel Plainview isn't fooling anybody with his "I'm an oilman" speech at the local meeting where they offer their land for him. They've all heard it all before and know his kind. Since he fails he leaves and decides to go elsewhere. He is by no means a hot knife that cuts through butter but faces defeats. "I drink your milkshake!" became a popular meme and the last time I had a luxury milkshake at a restaurant I took a picture of it, put it on Facebook and commented:"Time for Daniel to become Daniel...Plainview." Got a lot of thumbs up for that one too. :) Another anecdote: A class mate updated his profile pic and I thought he looked like DDL in TWBB so i commented:"Hey, it's Daniel Plainview from There Will Be Blood." Not an insult I hope. :) Btw, I think that Paul Dano is an underrated actor. He did a good job as Eli Sunday. As always: Another great review Deepfocuslens.

I believe you might need to revisit the film. Daniel doesn't "fail" at his chosen profession and go elsewhere. He goes from living in a shack to living in a gigantic mansion that has a bowling alley in it. He has a butler. And he does fool everybody in the town - they are fools who believe that Eli is a messenger of God who can heal people. He sees this very clearly when he visits the church, and the camera shows him smirking because he knows that the congregation is full of gullible people. Even during the "abandon my boy" scene, he is clearly only "repenting" so that he can get that final land lease... he even mutters aloud about the pipeline during the sermon, but none of the other churchgoers even seem to notice. In the end, "I'm finished" simply refers to his meal - there is no epiphany by him about his empty life. I am surprised that anyone can watch over 2 hours of Daniel being singularly focused on destroying "competition" and gaining more & more power/success, yet somehow believe that in the final moment of the film, Daniel would suddenly reflect on his life and make a cryptic remark about his lack of humanity. This is the same guy who shot a man in the head and watched him die from two feet away, and we are to suddenly believe he feels guilt or sadness or remorse about his life?

Fantastic review. I too think that there is humanity in Daniel, but the focus of the film is to make a portrait of one of the greatest descents into decadence and all-consuming greed in the cinema. The most important scene of the film is actually shared between Daniel and Henry. Daniel admits that he has, "a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I don't see the good in people." The moment that Henry's betrayal is recognized, one of the last threads to humanity is severed for Daniel. The ending is one of the most ambiguous that I've ever seen. I think that he gets away with killing Eli, based on the violent crimes Daniel commits earlier on. There is also the possibility that Eli gets one up on Daniel even in death, assuming that the murder leads to him losing all that he worked for. I suppose the viewer can decide for himself/herself.

A lot of the things Plainview gets upset about is what most people get upset about. People trying to tell you how to raise your family, and people who betray you and use you in order to get what they want. He’s the walking embodiment of a wounded ego. The masterful thing about the movie is the audience is kept guessing ‘is Plainview a good man or an evil man?’ but he’s like most of us. Both good and evil. Mostly flawed. Mostly human. A lot of people pursue wealth with no idea of what to do with that wealth. There are a lot of similarities between this film and Giant.

When PTA was asked about how he deals with themes when he writes he said this in the link and the time stamp provided: kzitem.info/news/bejne/tW-XqJlmf3Rkl2U go to: 12:15mins - 13:16mins So here's what I got from this film, it's so riddled with meaning and impact, I think it had a powerful, emotional experience that PTA delivered because of the specific plot he chose and the way the characters acted organically in said plot based on a specific experience he wanted the viewer to have (just my opinion....sort of), What I personally experienced watching this film: Planview, and the other characters will go/look beyond pain and suffering in the pursuit of wealth/personal gain, that's the point of the film: -He endures to claim his silver despite his broken leg. - He revels in his ocean of oil despite his son's deafness. -Eli will look beyond his faith by denying it to gain wealth. -Eli will intimidate his father despite his strict religious, loving conduct in pursuit of stopping a man take his family's land -Daniel tells his """son""" he's a bastard to get a one up on the conversation/argument. -HW will burn the house he lives in to get the attention he wants. -Daniel will send his """son""" away to get the tuition he needs to survive. -Daniel kills his """son in law""" when he realises he's a fake.....and so on, there are many more. This is an emotional experience, a "plot of land" so to speak that an amazing writer will conjure in order to deliver a unique and complete experience. Any theme is incidental, most of the time, but especially here.

i liked ur analysis very much i think daniel Plainview is the portrayal of Nietzsche's ideal man who is a creator of his own values and good and Eli Sunday character is a portrayal of Christian slave morality as mentioned by Nietzsche in his book beyond good and evil .both Plainview and Eli Sunday's ambition is power but daniel Plainview earned his wealth and power by his strong will and hard work which we can clearly see in the opening scene of the movie where he starts from dust where plan view makes his first discovery injuring his leg and crawls up to the mountain with his injured leg, on the other hand,Eli Sunday who takes shelter under religion wants to share daniels wealth and power but doesn't want to get his hand dirty earning power. Nietzsche in his book beyond good and evil says religion was created by the weak people who cannot create anything and uses the religion aginst strong and independent people who are creators of their own good and evil by making them fell ashamed of their traits.

I've never really cared for this movie. What could have been an interesting historical study of the beginnings of the petroleum industry instead became a character study of a psychopathic businessman. While Paul Thomas Anderson gives it an epic look with his shots, and the soundtrack has an old style feel to it, the memorable moments are few and far between. Unfortunately, Daniel Day Lewis is such a force of nature that he left the remainder of the cast looking extremely weak by comparison. Paul Dano, the principal antagonist, suffers the most in this equation. I think it would have been better if there had been a strong main character which the audience could have identified with, and have DDL play the villain in the style he played Plainview. Paul Thomas Anderson is clearly NOT the master screen craftsman he thinks he is, and he could have used considerable help in crafting a much stronger script. His films are long, exhausting affairs that ultimately spin their wheels without actual forward momentum.

In other words, they are human proxies for theories that.....fight against each other. (From what I see in daily life, capitalism and religion get along very cozily.) So, in my view, Anderson could have taken a cross to represent religion and the top hat piece from Monopoly to represent capitalism and had those pieces fight each other in an extreme cage deathmatch! Sunday! I could never see these characters as real people, only representations of concepts. Therefore I could never care about them.

such a curiosity that this film doesn't get involved with any woman figure.

Eren Anidem that was intentional. Daniel is meant to be a sexual, or maybe even gay. One must understand the time period as well. it was a man's world. women worked at home

This film was about the death knell of man. Greed, desire, jealousy, aggression, vengeance & violence.

I didn't really care for Plainview. I just mostly saw him as a selfish, heartless and ruthless business man who uses ppl. I didn't like the ending either. I just didn't see the point of Plainview murdering Eli in the bowling alley. I also didn't like how PTA handles the character of Eli as a crazy, greedy pastor. Good film otherwise.

How many times have you seen the film? This might be why you feel the way you do about it. The first time I saw it, I felt the same way about Plainview for the most part. The film has an underlying message, which is overlooked. Many people see it as a film about capitalism. No. This is a character study about social isolation. It is one of those films where either you relate to the main protagonist or not. Either you relate to loneliness, or not. Plainview is very mysterious. We don't know whether he is faking it, or if he really feels the way he does throughout the film. However, there is definitely evidence that he is in fact faking it. His voice is a huge indicator of this. It doesn't seem normal, and it seems like a make up voice. That is because it IS a made up voice. Daniel Day Lewis even says it himself that his voice has showman - like quality to it. He created this voice obviously to sell products easier and to real buyers in. He uses this voice throughout the entire movie, accept for one, small scene: the crying scene. This is the part of the film that breaks down the whole illusion of Plainview as this horror villain. If you hear his voice, it is a small high pitched wimper. This small scene is SO significant, because it shows a crack in this persona, and he breaks down, no longer able to hold up this facade, and he cries. Many people think that he used his son. However, if you consider the time period, it was actually an amazingly compassionate thing to care for a child as a single man as Plainview did. Many fathers were VERY detached from their children. This was an anomaly. When HW is stricken with deafness, he feels that it isolated him from his son. He could no longer influence him through his false voice. Then, he sends him to a special needs school. Many people see this as cruel, but not for the time period. It was VERY normal for parents to send their kids away while they worked. However, this seemingly normal act absolutely tears Daniel Plainview apart. Something I didn't notice untill my 3rd viewing, was that a tear drops from Daniels face while he is in the train. Then, he tries to reach out to someone who claims to be his brother, and Daniel reveals himself to him in ways that he has never shown anyone else. But once this is shown to be a lie, he kills him, because there was no way of knowing that the imposter wouldn't have tried to murder Plainview in his sleep after being found out. But then, sees a picture of his real brother and cries, because his real brother is dead, and most of his family is gone, and he tried to open himself up to someone, but that trust was shattered. He was a very loving father for the time period, and it is even more compassionate when you consider the fact that he came out of a Lazze Faire world of no rules. Men had a lot of trouble adjusting to this, so all he has is his primal instincts of survival, and his love for HW, which he has lost. Daniel Plainview killing Eli has a lot of layers to it. Its the climax of the film, and either the protagonist or the antagonist must overcome the other. And, since we have already seen then spend more than 2 hours fighting with words, it sonly seems fitting for physical violence. They both use the same tactic: manipulation, and their silver tongue. There is no way one of them would win with words because they already acknowledge eachother as who they really are. Eli is already facing desperate times so there is little Daniel can do to hurt him further, to take away from him; even utter humiliation is just payback, and it is a neat parallel to the babtism scene earlier in the film. Daniel needs more -- taking Eli's life is the last thing that will once and for all cement Daniel's win. At this point, Daniel has no one to care for or be afraid of, and he's never paid the price for his crimes, so presumably Daniel thinks himself above any law or moral code of conduct; Daniel, after all, is The Third Revelation! Killing Eli after a drunken spree comes only naturally. The chaotic nature of the film is only natural after 2 hours of pure tension. Plainview was also a violent drunk at this point. Hope this helps!

Nothing is really happening on this movie. I really don't get what people like about this movie. There's absolutely no story no plot no good characters, expect maybe a little for Paul's Dano fanatic character, but that's not enough to make a good interesting movie. Not a good one in my opinion.
