Our madness for petroleum and black gold has not diminished

For the success of "Blood Black Gold", director Paul Thomas Anderson (Paul Thomas Anderson) and starring Daniel Day-Lewis (Daniel Day-Lewis) are irreplaceable, and their charm is even better than that of the film. The soundtrack and photography---everyone who has watched the film can experience this "refreshing" feeling. Anderson once had the reputation of being a genius director, but this did not restrict him to a niche style. Oscar met on a narrow road, he lost to the Coen brothers, even so, with eight nominations "Blood Black Gold" also announced the change of Anderson's identity. Without playing obscure and group portraits, he can also make stunning, majestic and excellent films—not independent films that highlight the author’s temperament, such as "Magnolia".


The story of the film takes place in the western United States in the early 20th century. Daniel, who started from scratch, relied on ruthless methods to become a famous oil tycoon. Oscar actor and famous British actor Daniel Day-Lewis starred in this cold-blooded capitalist. His emotional expression of the characters and his amazing explosive power completely conquered the critics. It can be said that his existence made the Oscar best actor award lose its suspense before the award. In this film that emphasizes personal performance, the only person who can confront Lewis is the missionary Eli (Eli), and his fate is linked to Daniel from beginning to end. Paul Dano (Paul Dano) plays Yili and his brother Paul (Paul), which is also the intriguing role setting in the film. There are several wonderful passages in "Blood Black Gold" that are worth mentioning. One is the first oil well blowout in Little Boston. The movement of the actors, the movement of the camera, and the combination of sound and picture, the whole scene is filled with tension for five or six minutes, and the fascinating soundtrack is the highlight of the film. The other is the confrontation between Daniel and Yili at the end. Under the pressure of Daniel, Yili completely exposed his hypocritical soul. The same line was repeated nearly ten times in different tones. The ending method of the film is also quite special, without procrastination.

This is not only a biographical film about how capitalists make money, but also directly confronts the greed and madness of human beings in the fight for black gold, and the fragility of emotions under the temptation of profit. Today, mankind’s dependence on oil has not alleviated, and the blood has not flowed. Under the old world structure, Daniel’s tough methods have become the chief culprit of wars today. From this perspective, the practical significance of "Blood Black Gold" is not inferior to the achievement of film skills.
