Core management talent selection
Daniel uses his own corporate management model to operate the oil mines. He opposes contractor intermediaries, emphasizes family concepts, and builds an oil empire by relying on professional drilling equipment and powerful trading partners. Employment of labor sources, bank loans... The director...

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...

The first time I watched it, I remembered the beginning, the second time I lived at the end, and the third time I finally discovered the true purpose of PTA making this film. The dark history of a capital imprints the distressed minds of a generation of Americans. It is as dark as primitive. Chasing prey like wild beasts, heading for destruction in the empty and cold lair, the lies and betrayals behind the American dream, and the struggle of faith are all manifestations of the bloody human nature. PTA is today’s greatest American director.

Fuck, after many years, the second brush still feels that the bull is overwhelming. I must write an article to pay tribute to today's favorite actor DDL and director PTA!

Eli Sunday: Why are you talking about Paul?
Plainview: I did what your brother couldn't.
Eli Sunday: Don't say this to me.
Plainview: I broke you and I beat you. It was Paul who told me about you. He's the prophet. He's the smart one. He knew what was there and he found me to take it out of the ground, and you know what the funny thing is? Listen... listen... listen... I paid him ten thousand dollars, cash in hand, just like that. He has his own company now. A prosperous little business. Three wells producing. Five thousand dollars a week.
[Eli cries]
Plainview: Stop crying, you sniveling ass! Stop your nonsense. You're just the afterbirth, Eli.
Eli Sunday: No...
Plainview: You slithered out of your mother's filth.
Eli Sunday: No.
Plainview: They should have put you in a glass jar on a mantlepiece. Where were you when Paul was suckling at his mother's teat? Where were you? Who was nursing you, poor Eli? One of Bandy's sows? That land has been had. Nothing you can do about it. It's gone. It's had.
Eli Sunday: If you would just take...
Plainview: You lose.
Eli Sunday: ...this lease, Daniel...
Plainview: Drainage! Drainage, Eli, you boy. Drained dry. I'm so sorry. Here, if you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw. There it is, that's a straw, you see? Watch it. Now, my straw reaches acroooooooss the room and starts to drink your milkshake. I... drink... your... milkshake!
[sucking sound]
Plainview: I drink it up!
Eli Sunday: Don't bully me, Daniel!
[Daniel roars and throws Eli across the room]
Plainview: Did you think your song and dance and your superstition would help you, Eli? I am the Third Revelation! I am who the Lord has chosen!

Plainview: Now go. Go and play some more, and don't come back.
