The story takes place in 1898. Daniel Plainview turned out to be a miner in a silver mine. He was destitute and hopeless, and he broke his leg in an accident. Daniel, who decided to give it a go, accidentally learned a secret message that there is a small town in the western United States where oil is constantly seeping from the ground. Daniel turned into a seller and took his son H·Wto the small town almost covered in dust and loess. It might be the last time for him to catch this. Chance. Fortunately, Daniel and H·W looked at the right time. Their luck and wealth accumulated exponentially at an incredible speed, and their social status also rose rapidly. However, with more and more achievements, Daniel's soul began to be missing, and he became an all-purpose business liar. It took 29 years for Daniel to finally fulfill his grand aspiration to become a rich man and become a generation of oil tycoon, but he also began to lose some of the most basic qualities of human nature, such as love, hope, community, faith and ambition. It even jeopardized the father-son relationship between him and H·W, and the chief culprit of all this was the rolling oil that represented depravity and deceit. When evil emerges, a charismatic missionary Yili Sandyplayed, who symbolizes purity and faith, also steps into this decadent land, so a holiness takes place in wealth, industry, and religion. The clash between loyalty and loyalty unfolded. If wealthy entrepreneurs are the kind of liars who are good at juggling tricks, then missionaries are more like some kind of conspirators. When contradictions are intensified, even the most unclear delineation in morals can make people feel Very convincing.

93/100, the most apparent construction is to use classical narrative methods to describe how the oil tycoon flourished to the end of the rebellion and incarnation of the "demon", creating a lonely, crazy but intelligent image, corresponding to the protagonist, setting stupid hypocrisy and cowardice The two roles are opposite and transformable. Multiple ideologies are nested here, and finally point to reality. PTA's various superb scheduling makes the whole film exude infinite image charm, a large number of mid-to-long-range narratives, and strong audiovisual passages to strengthen the center of gravity. The epic sense is distributed from the inside out, even like the western variant of "2001". What the monstrous flame ignited is the profit-seeking and confrontation of the entire human capital market. Capital evil lingers in the mind like a nightmare, and it is like a curse that takes root in the world forever.
