Let's not watch the film so complicated, and ask the director directly, otherwise you will always have doubts. And you may not see the same as the director, so let’s simply interpret the film from the narration of the film.
First, Daniel is an oil worker. He adopted an orphan in a death and raised him as his own son. This can be called a good deed at any time.
I like to see Paul who is more interesting to sell information in this way. He is the magic stick Eli later. He is a sincere and sophisticated liar. He first deceived Daniel and sold it to Daniel Petroleum at a price of 500 dollars. The news that 500 dollars is not low but enough to arouse Daniel's interest to make Daniel. When Daniel paid him, he knew that Daniel had been hooked. After he went back to play as the eldest son of the farmer, Eli, he could not sit still. The tail of the fox could not be hidden. Thousand dollars he is insatiable. In fact, Daniel has already seen that he is Paul, who just wants to completely humiliate him and didn’t take him seriously. It’s just that Daniel feels that he is very hateful, a villain who is only profitable. Daniel didn’t let Eli be the host. It happened that Daniel wanted Eli to pray to his employees who are also followers of Eli, but Eli mocked Daniel if it was a real Christian priest, he would never do it. Later, Daniel’s son had an accident and Eli came to ask Daniel for five thousand dollars. After beating all night, Eli beat his father and said that the stranger his father brought in was actually himself. He was hating Daniel. Everything didn't go as smoothly as he expected. In fact, Eli still beat his own daughter. After the scum, Daniel had to install the transportation pipeline from a local farmer’s old man’s home. Eli used the old man to hold Daniel against him. But it’s a very despicable villain and the villain sometimes really can’t get entangled with each other. After Eli went to the field to preach [actually it’s deceit]
Daniel is also a complete liar, but he is a businessman, his colleague negotiated with him after his son's accident. The self-righteous guy thought that Daniel would become because of his son's accident. Use his weakest point to defeat him and pretend to be kind to help Daniel? In fact, he is a shameless and lowly robber. So whenever and wherever he is, Daniel is ridiculing this little man, who is very despicable. Daniel asks him if you give me a million, what else can I do for this? He still doesn't understand what Daniel asks him. A stupid guy who wants to take a million to take away tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of assets. Idiot to forget that Daniel will see through you at a glance?
Why did that fake brother die? In fact, that fake brother is shamelessly impersonating his brother and it is very likely that the murderer who killed his brother will cheat on him and Daniel hopes that he is really his own brother. Daniel needs affection for what he wants to do. It was the fake brother of the family business who finally told Daniel that Daniel's brother had not been subjected to violence but died of illness. Why did he mention that he was subjected to violence? I think this is what the director meant. Although the fake brother never met, Daniel still avenged him. In fact, the fake brother wanted more. If he is really kind, he is a friend of Daniel's brother, then he honestly says that Daniel will not fail. It's just that this person is also very greedy, so he is the most likely murderer to kill Daniel's younger brother.
Finally, Daniel's son wants to be independent. Daniel has always used him as his heir to train as his partner. Daniel actually attaches great importance to family affection. Daniel has been emphasizing himself. It's a family business. He wants to leave all his hard work and love to his adopted son, but his son wants to abandon him. He is very sad. He finally scolds him. In fact, you will abandon me. My son. He knows that his son can't hear it. My son must be leaving
In the end, killing Eli was certain. Eli still left a hand. Eli came to blackmail Daniel with a piece of oil. In fact, Eli was a liar at the beginning stage and Daniel was the old ginger. Daniel agreed to cooperate with him, but the premise is that Eli reveals that he is. The liar, Eli, admitted that he was a liar for the money. In fact, Daniel had seen through what Eli had left and hollowed out him a long time ago. Then he ridiculed Eli and said that your brother took ten thousand dollars from me and actually only five hundred. It is also said that your brother now has three oil mines with a monthly income of 5,000 US dollars. In fact, Daniel said to other people wherever he went. There is no Paul at all. Paul is actually mocking Eli and telling Eli that I have seen you through and you are Paul. When Daniel was killing Eli, Eli was saying to Daniel that we are all the same. Eli said that they are both liars, but the essence is a world of difference. A shameless villain wearing a preacher's clothes gives him mana and he becomes a devil. Daniel, a veteran of the rivers and lakes, is actually a negotiating method that can be understood by a businessman, but he is extremely longing for family affection
. No one in the world can hurt you. Only your closest person can hurt you. Daniel's son is his greatest harm. He has no wealth in his life. Any relatives inherit the rest. In fact, the fake brother like Eli and his robber is not worth mentioning. It's nothing to remember. People who deserve it when they die are people who only want to gain profit and don't have any conscience, such as gods. Eli can beat his own daughter to deceive his fellow villagers, what else do you think he can't do? For Daniel to kill him, it was also for God to remove the devil. A villain like Eli had to sell for profit in World War II. How many folks would still play the banner of God. It’s
better not to interpret this movie in a religious way. It’s complicated. It is the religious information such as the name Daniel. In fact, Daniel is not the devil. The other little talents are the devil who can do everything for money. They want to use some despicable means to defeat Daniel, blackmail and plunder Daniel's wealth, and return it in the name of goodwill. Take advantage of Daniel's weakness Daniel's son to rob him of his life. His wealth reminds me that the devil is the best at disguising himself
