Drama life under foggy silhouette

Judging from the name of the film alone, the style of the film is more like a bloody killing movie, with a 2.5-hour timeline narrative, and there is still tension on the dramatic stage. The director is extremely bold in combining theocracy with the realistic American dream. The collision, although the devil who yearns for the gods and the gods who have fallen to hell, is vividly portrayed, but it is also this excessive ambition that misses Oscar. The...

The evolutionary history of a lone warrior

In the first 20 minutes, I saw a lonely male protagonist, and loneliness runs through the whole chapter, threading the needle for the storyline.
Oil, capitalists, land... The original sin of capitalism also exposes the ugliest side of people - greed and ignorance. Greedily sell the land, greedily disguise themselves as religious, and greedily envy others; ignorant believers are still convinced and unrepentant in the face of liar priests.
The male protagonist is an oil merchant,...

contradiction

At the beginning of capitalism, a small number of people mastered the means of production, the origin of capitalism. Wealth is the only belief, there is no moral restraint, and there is no limit to it. Any way can become a means of restraining wealth (leave room for traditional morality - family affection - capitalist fantasy - reserved criticism). Looking back at the misdeeds that took place in the accumulation stage of capital, showing how greed for wealth affects people (jealousy, anger,...

Win or lose, you will know in the end.

"There Will Be Blood" movie review
This is an extremely ironic movie. Every plot and every picture is vivid and impressive. Let me talk about the most impressive clips:
1. The story begins with a broken leg for mining
2. Mary Sander will be beaten by her father if she does not pray
3. He kept saying that he loved his son, but because his son was deaf, he threw him on the train and abandoned him.
4. Eli was beaten by Daniel, slapped all the time, pulled his hair,...

record do not read

The title comes from the seventh chapter of Exodus: "Egypt is full of images of the coming blood, even in wooden or stone vessels."
The American economic depression in the early 19th century tells the story of a lonely oil prospector who made a fortune and lost his soul while chasing wealth. The overall tone of the film is dark, and it shows the dark side of human nature and the ugly struggle of interests. The photographer used a simple framing frame, a minimum number of...

What is rare is that the primitive animal survival brute force and animal impulses are not sentimental or didactic, which is very unlike American movies. It is recommended to watch with two Japanese movies: Imamura's "Insects of Japan" and Shindo Kanto's...

Movie quotes

Eli Sunday: Mr. Bandy has a grandson. Have you met his grandson William? William Bandy is one of the finest members we have at the Church of The Third Revelation. He's eager to come to Hollywood to be in movies. He is very good-looking. And I do think he will have success.
H.M. Tilford: We'll make you a millionaire while you're sitting here from one minute to the next.

Plainview: What else would I do with myself?

H.M. Tilford: You asking me?

Plainview: What else would I do with myself?

H.M. Tilford: Take care of your son. I don't know what you would do.

Plainview: If you were me and Standard offered to buy what you had for a million dollars, why? So, why?

H.M. Tilford: You know why.

Plainview: Yeah, you fellows just scratch around in the dirt and find it like the rest of us instead of buying up someone else's hard work.

J.J. Carter: [defensively] I've scratched around the dirt, son.

Plainview: You gonna change your shipping costs?

H.M. Tilford: We don't dictate shipping costs. That's railroad business.

Plainview: O-oh! You don't own the railroads? Course you do. Of course you do.

H.M. Tilford: Where you gonna put it all? Where? Build a pipeline, make a deal with Union Oil? Be my guest, but if you can't pull it off, you've got an ocean of oil under your feet, with nowhere to go. Why not turn it over to us? We'll make you rich. You spend time with your boy. It's a great discovery. Now let us help you.

Plainview: [after a long pause] D'you just tell me how to run my family?

H.M. Tilford: It might be more important now that you've proven the field and we're offering to buy you out.

Plainview: [stares at Tilford for a long moment] One night, I'm gonna come to you, inside of your house, wherever you're sleeping, and I'm gonna cut your throat.

H.M. Tilford: What? What are you taking about? Have you gone crazy, Daniel?

Plainview: Did you hear what I said?

H.M. Tilford: I heard what you said. Why did you say it?

Plainview: You don't tell me about my son.

H.M. Tilford: Why are you acting insane and threatening to cut my throat?

Plainview: You don't tell me about my son.

H.M. Tilford: I'm not telling you anything! I'm asking you to be reasonable. If I've offended you, I apologize.

Plainview: [leans towards him] You'll see what I can do.
HW's Interpreter, George: [speaking for deaf H.W] I'd prefer to speak to you in private.

Plainview: You can't speak. so why don't you flap your hands about and have what's-his-name tell me where you've been. Or do you think I don't know?

HW's Interpreter, George: This is hard for me to say. I'll tell you first: I love you very much. I've learned to love what I do because of you. I'm leaving here. I'm going to Mexico. I'm taking Mary, and I'm going to Mexico. I miss working outside. I miss the fields. It'll only be for a time, for me to do my own drilling and start my own company. It's time to make a change.

Plainview: This makes you my competitor.

HW's Interpreter, George: No. No, it's not like that.

Plainview: It is like that - boy. Your own company, huh?

HW's Interpreter, George: That's right.

Plainview: In Mexico.

HW's Interpreter, George: Yes.

Plainview: You're making such a misstep. So, what are you doing?

HW's Interpreter, George: I know you and I have disagreed over many things. I'd rather keep you as my father than my partner.

Plainview: Then say it! You got something to say to me then say it. I'd like to hear you speak instead of your little dog, woof woof woof woof woof woof woof!

H.W. Plainview - Older: I'm going to Mexico with my wife. I'm going away from you.

Plainview: That wasn't so hard, was it? - killing us with what you're doing. You're killing my image of you as my son.

HW's Interpreter, George: You're stubborn. You won't listen.

Plainview: You're not my son.

HW's Interpreter, George: Please don't say that. I know you don't mean it.

Plainview: It's the truth. You're not my son. Never have been. You're an... you're an orphan. D'you ever hear that word?

Plainview: [to George] Tell 'em what I said!

Plainview: [back to H.W] You operated here today like one. I should have seen this coming. I should have known that under this, all these past years, you've been building your hate for me piece by piece. I don't even know who you are because you have none of me in you. You're someone else's. This anger, your maliciousness, backwards dealings with me. You're an orphan from a basket in the middle of the desert, and I took you for no other reason than I needed a sweet face to buy land. D'you get that? So now you know.

[Plainview whistles mockingly]

Plainview: Look at me. You're lower than a bastard. You have none of me in you. You're just a bastard from a basket.

HW's Interpreter, George: I thank God I have none of you in me.

Plainview: [H.W. and George get up and begin to leave the room] You're not my son. You're just a little piece of competition. Bastard from a basket. Bastard from a basket! You're a bastard from a basket!
