      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 plot

    The story takes place in 1898. Daniel Plainview ( Daniel Day-Lewis ) 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·W (Dillon Frazier) to the small...

    Behind the scenes gags

    At the beginning of the preparation of the film, the title of the film was set as "Preparing for Blood", but at the end of the filming, the producer felt that it should be called "The Blood Is Coming".
    The name of the film comes from the 19th line of Chapter 7 of "Exodus", "Egypt is full of bloody sights, even wooden or stone containers."
    In order to star in the film, Daniel Day-Lewis prepared for two years. He learned about the history...

    Evaluation action

    The creator of the film did not describe the superficial personality of Daniel Plainview through specific details such as buying land and drilling for oil, but directly cut into his spiritual world through external events. Paul Thomas Anderson spent a lot of pen and ink describing the collusion process between capitalists and the church in oil development. At the end of the film, the third movement of the jubilant Brahms Violin...

    Movie quotes

    • [first words]

      Plainview: There she is. There she is.

    • Prescott: [Plainview has just left a town meeting] Mr. Plainview! No! Where are you going?

      Plainview: I don't need the lease, thank you.

      Prescott: We need you, we need you to...

      Plainview: Too much confusion! Thank you for your time.

      Prescott: No, no, no! There's no confusion! If you just...

      Plainview: [stops in his tracks, stares down Prescott] I wouldn't take the lease if you gave it to me as a gift.

    • 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.
