Last night I finally finished watching

2 hours and 38 minutes is long enough,

but I am not drowsy.

Some people might say that the protagonist is a villain.

Some might say that the protagonist is a liar.

Some might say that the protagonist is cruel,

but I want to say that the

protagonist represents the United States. Successful people in dreams have

no faith,

no justice,

only struggle,

only gambling life,

only interests

, the essence of capitalism is interest,

no permanent enemies,

only permanent interests,

he is tough,

he is firm,

he is very cunning,

he has all the qualities of a good businessman,

so he can get him In the oil kingdom,

his son was not his biological

father , and his biological father died by his side.

He started from scratch,

he was cruel,

he never feared that

his purpose of action was only one to

gain profit,

he would never do anything unprofitable,

but

he was very lonely,

although at the end of the film.

He cruelly pointed out that his son is not his own,

even a bastard,

but

his heart is bleeding when he drives

his son out. He doesn't want his son to be so far away from him,

but he can't say gentle things,

but I think

his son will be because of him. Successful

Because he won’t be a drag on

his son, he doesn’t want him to be concerned,

so in the next scene

we will see him drunk in the bowling lane and he is

much older,

but the

lion will always be the lion, the

old lion is also

the poor little missionary who eats meat. It’s always a lamb

in wolf skin before him.

Even P is not even P.

He cruelly ate this lamb

and even the bones and flesh and blood.

He destroyed his last bit of self-esteem and

completely denied his existence. value

but I just admire lions

I despise the sheep eyes from the heart

sheep actually more despicable

me as a lion applauded!

    The protagonist is almost as crazy as Nietzsche, God is dead, religion is useless, it is better to make money

    From the perspective of ugliness of human nature, the two people are different in the same way. One experienced a false church baptism and then sank into the black gold to be further twisted; the other completely aroused the hypocritical darkness in the oil mud pool, and finally lay in the blood of Jesus. "I am finished." The last line contains a lot of meaning. The scenes of blowout, church exorcism, father and son break, and final confrontation were shocked. Both DDL and Dano are great. The soundtrack is magical and the image captures people.

There Will Be Blood quotes

  • Plainview: Mr. Bankside, I'm not going to waste your time; I'd certainly appreciate it if you didn't waste mine. Now, if you wish to sign with me, we can have a well drilling within ten days, but your lot is further north from the discovery well up here, and so... Well, that means we'll probably have to dig deeper. And if there's as much oil here as I think there is, it'll be harder to reach, but once we find it, we can take it right out. You have to act quickly, because very soon these fields will be dry. Now... I need you to know what you want to do. Now, because of the distance from the discovery well, I'll pay you a smaller royalty than you'd get down there, but I'm prepared to give you a thousand dollar bonus on your lot.

    Mr. Bankside: What kind of royalty are you talking about?

    Plainview: 1/6th, plus a guarantee to start drilling within ten days. Now, that's something you won't find anywhere else.

    [long silence]

    Plainview: What age your children, ma'am?

    Mrs. Bankside: 10 and 12. Mr. Plainview, a question, sir. Where is your wife?

    Plainview: She died in childbirth, Mrs. Bankside, so I... so... Well, it's just me and my son now.

  • Paul Sunday: Mr. Plainview?

    Plainview: Yes?

    Paul Sunday: Are you Daniel Plainview?

    Plainview: Yes. What can I do for you?

    Paul Sunday: You look for oil.

    Plainview: That's right.

    Paul Sunday: What do you pay for a place that has it?

    Plainview: Well, that depends.

    Paul Sunday: What does it depend on?

    Plainview: On a lot of things.

    Paul Sunday: If I told you I knew a place that had oil, where land could be bought cheaply, what do you think that would be worth?

    Plainview: Oh, I think that, uh... you should let me know what you know, and, uh, and then we'll try and work something out.

    Paul Sunday: Can I sit down?

    Plainview: Please.

    Paul Sunday: [Paul sits] What church do you belong to?

    Plainview: I, um... I enjoy all faiths. I don't belong to one church in particular. I... I like them all. I like everything. Where are you from?

    Paul Sunday: That would be telling you. That's what I want to sell you.

    Plainview: What are you doing in Signal Hill?

    Paul Sunday: We have oil and it seeps through the ground. Do you want to pay me to know where it is...

    Plainview: Well, just because there's something on the ground doesn't mean there's anything beneath it.

    Paul Sunday: Why did Standard Oil buy up land?

    Plainview: Is it in California?

    Paul Sunday: Maybe.

    Plainview: How much land they buy?

    Paul Sunday: I'd like it better if you didn't think I was stupid.
