Bloody Hell

Hypocritical religion is no different from witchcraft, so it would be better to tear off the mask and become an authentic businessman. Using a well-designed false identity as a way of expression is wonderful. I don't know whether this is the treatment in the original work. The
oil tycoon cannot be described as evil. His life is the externalization of "sin".
Furthermore, he is the externalization of all the "crimes" in the primitive accumulation of industrial civilization in the United States and the world.
Modern industrial civilization is now glamorously dressed, just as ugly, poor and shameless as when Daniel made his fortune. The reason for having the appearance of a gentleman now depends on blood. Daniel drank human blood to make a fortune, and modern civilization drank the earth's blood and oil to reach the current level.
The film is rich in layers. As a man, as a devil, as a reactionary, as an accomplice, as the creator of the lie, and as a lie-terminator, what Daniel has accomplished is not only his own epic, but also the epic of an era.
Although some of the humorous cells of Coen Brothers are missing, but the audiovisual processing of profound issues is so powerful and distinct, Kubrick dare not say that Paul Sensen is sooner or later than Coen. Unlike CB, CB’s signature action is to interrupt with seriousness. BTA takes his seriousness seriously, and can even talk about a long JB as a philosophy (see Bouji Ye for details); the same is that they don’t like mediocrity. Boring.

    #新看#4.5; The story of the creation of an empire is always strikingly similar, with ambition and lies as the foundation, violence and erosion as the means of conquest, blood and ruthlessness, supplemented by family drama and religious bewitchment as emotional support, and advancing without distractions , abandoning conscience without mercy, everything is oriented to the established goal; the end is so close, and you will eventually fall into extreme madness, staring at the lonely castle for life - sorry, you are trash, the world alone is awake (the ending is hard not to Think Citizen Kane). The face mixed with multiple human nature lingers in the shadows, oil and blood cover the only trace of warmth in the heart, he diligently creates a kingdom far away from the hustle and bustle, and tells how the process of capital establishment has filled every pore with cruel blood and tears. , DDL's acting skills can be enthroned, every PTA work uses actors to the extreme, praise! The opening ten minutes is enough to hold your breath, the soundtrack is excellent, and the vision of the sky-high fire is like the beginning of the creation.

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.
