There Will Be Blood is one of those films you watch early on in your exploration of cinema and go: "Man, that's incredible." And then, once you become more experienced, knowledgeable, your taste becomes more refined, once you disregard 95% of the stuff you considered "great" back in the day, you go back to it and still go: "Man, that's incredible."

Somebody like Michael Shannon, if he were a bit younger?.. Otherwise instead of worthy opponent DDL's character got someone he will obviously overcome without any real challenge.

Daniel Day-Lewis picked Paul Dano personally ... I think that by itself will calm any qualms a person might have, and the rest can be attributed to Paul Dano being younger than Daniel Plainview by approximately 28 years. Dano's character is a charlatan that wants donations, or money by any other means. This shows an even earlier representation of Televangelists than it does of DD Lewis representation of early capitalism.

I think the whole point is we can see that this is an alpha vs. a beta and it gives it all almost a feeling of inevitability like a Greek tragedy might.

@@scottystcloud7086 Well, There Will Be Blood is up there with Citizen Kane, 2001, Bonnie and Clyde, and Star Wars as films that just saw what movies could be in a completely different way, and gave audiences something so different, it's kind of hard not to be obsessed with rewatching the film for the rest of your life. But as someone old enough to remember Pulp Fiction coming out, and how movies were before and after it, I think you could make a fair argument that it belongs in the same category. But maybe you're talking in terms of pure aesthetics. As I look over my list, all the other movies I named set out to give the audience a whole new audiovisual experience. Filmmaking is artifice, playing a whole bunch of tricks to create the illusion of reality out of flickering light. Part of the history of film is the history of filmmakers who discovered new ways to make that reality realer, and TWBB is part of that category. It basically rejects everything about how a story should be told, how images should be accentuated with music, the way plot elements should be signposted - Boogie Nights stuff. And it's centered around the performance of an actor so obsessive, you feel uncannily like you're not watching a performance, no matter how over-the-top he is. Meanwhile Tarantino is such an encyclopedic fan of film, every directoral choice he makes self-consciously positions the film within the canon of film through allusion and quotation. He's innovative as a writer - there's something about the "what do they call a Big Mac in France?" scene that ups the level of verisimilitude in a similar way - but you never feel like you're seeing something on film that you haven't seen before. In a way, it's a question of whether you value sincerity or self-awareness. PTA is utterly sincere, QT is utterly self-aware. But neither has ever made a film I wouldn't rewatch.

You can only say you actually watched There Will Be Blood is the second time. The first time you’re experiencing it. Every aspect of the film from the visuals, acting and the sound is just entrancing. It’s perfect.

That Man in the Wilderness movie Tarantino bring up in relation to Daniel Plainview dragging himself back to town is a ‘70s movie about Hugh Glass. It’s the same Hugh Glass story that The Revenant is based on.

Not to be that guy, but Paul Dano’s performance is spot on with the Paul’s characterization in the novel, Oil! Sort of hapless, falling into success, the antithesis of Plainview who is always exacting and deliberate. Successful for all the “wrong” reasons, and not in the same league as Plainview at all.

Eli was the perfect juxtaposition to Daniel. He saw himself in this kid. Smart, willing to do anything to rise above his meager conditions and use others to do it. Even outmaneuvering Daniel to public humiliation. Which then comes back around when he gets the chance. Perfection

At 9:13, Quentin says, "you see Longview running with the little boy..." Ooops.

Daniel’s character was a master of business and the oil game, Dano’s character a master of another realm. A realm of God, religion, dogma, and delusion. He’s a great foil to Daniel’s plans in the movie and a formidable foe. Great performances by both imo.

Furthermore, after having listened to several of Tarantino's and Anderson's films, after having seen and re-listened to their classics several times (and many others) I approve of Paul Dano's performance. During my first viewing of the film I had difficulty understanding that the two brothers were played by the same actor. But as mentioned by Tarantino at the beginning of the film, and this is the case with several films. You have to listen to it more than once to understand not only the nuances but to really have a more complete vision of the work.

Great movie

I like Paul Dano's performance in this movie because it seems fake and almost detached from 'reality' as presented in the movie. I think that's his character. I think Paul is capable of doing a grounded and believable performance, but the character in this movie is someone who you would never know if he was doing an act or not. The character is fake/shallow/performative, and Paul plays him that way. The performance might not be believable in the same way as Lewis, but there's something unbelievable about the character as well. His way of being in the world is completely foreign to Daniel's character and I think Paul does a great job of conveying that. The interplay between unrelenting ambition and naked greed, vs contrived piety and masked motives is beautifully conveyed in the movie. I think Paul's performance lends itself to that concept perfectly.

Paul Dano's performance in this movie is legendary. I am listening critics of Tarantino for a very long time and i find them incredibly accurate, almost always; this is the most bizarre one and i strongly disagree. After watching it 4-5 times, Paul Dano's performance almost exceeded Lewis's performance for me..

if you look up the movies that came out in 2007, you could say that was the last Great Year for Movies

Paul Dano made himself into Shelly in the Shining And RIP Shelly 🥰

This movie is in an alternate universe where Bunny lost his dad, and I love it

It is deeply frightening just how great Daniels acting is in this mivie and i dont say that in any way lightly.... its in the top 3 of all time in movie history

I just realized in 3 years this movie turns 20?? I felt like I just saw it in the theater a year ago

Scary isn’t it..feels at most a decade old.

Great movie. I like tarantino’s picks generally including but not limited to Dunkirk and Unbreakable.

QT direct DDL in your “last” film. 🎞️ gold!!

this film will be aging like a fine wine. Maybe like that 2000 year old roman wine unearthed, that still was palatable. I dont know what i just said

THE MASTER is his greatest achievement IMHO.

Yeah that’s one of my favorites of his too, the best acting of JP and PSH, top tier.

Excellent, incredibly underrated film

If TWBB is Muhammad Ali, then Inglourious Basterds is Gerry Cooney.

@@chuckscott4661that’s not even in the top 5 of Tarantino’s best movies.

Daniel was better in TWBB than even Gangs, this was definitely his opus, it sucks he retired.

fascinating and challenging movie certainly grows on you, Danos performance at best was pleasantly off

Boogies Nights over There Will Be Blood???? HERESY!!!

Dude is totally right about Dano

I read the book "Oil" by Upton Sinclair, I saw the movie, both are great. I particularly like the film because of Daniel Day Lewis' performance. I think everyone does. However I don't believe that Tarantino is right, I believe that we learn how Daniel Plainview was able to achieve this feat - with a broken leg from dragging himself not to the hospital but to Appraised is Gold - during the film. We learn that Daniel Plainview has no limits, nothing is an obstacle he cannot overcome between Him and his success.
