Daniel is the devil, he doesn't believe in religion from the beginning, especially when he meets Eli who is greedy and hypocritical. Daniel also doesn't believe in people. His motivation for making money is to be able to stay away from others and be alone. We don't know what he went through, we only know what he looks like now. His eyes were full of arrogance, full of contempt, full of disdain. Drilling for oil and gaining wealth and status, fame and status was the only dream of the first generation of gold diggers chasing the American dream. They are rough, dirty, and stinking upstarts, but there's nothing wrong with that, isn't it the loss of humanity? The annihilation of human nature is the most naked truth, you can accept it or not, just like you can choose to accept religious belief or not accept it. When the black oil spewed out from the ground, it seemed as if the devil had come from hell to the world. After Daniel reported his deaf son back to the house, he hurriedly returned to the gold rush battlefield. He and his partner stood under the night sky illuminated by the firelight. The safety of his son was no longer important at this moment. status. He sent away his son who was hindering his career as a burden, but got angry because the business negotiator unintentionally talked about his relationship with his son, accusing the other party that he was not qualified to tell him how to be a father. In the second half of the film, when he took back his son, he humiliated the original negotiator in front of his son, showing how good a father he was. His strong self-esteem makes him suppress others all the time. Does he love his son? If he loves, how could he know that his son intends to leave his own business and humiliate him as a competitor, and even say that his son is not his own, but he just picked it up, and uses this picked up son to help him in the negotiation To win sympathy and favor with words that trample on dignity. The speculator who pretended to be his younger brother was killed by him. He was ruthless and ruthless, and the slap he received on the face when he was baptized was finally returned to the bowling pin.
Daniel doesn't love anyone, because in his opinion, everyone is a collection of falsehoods, with too few real ingredients and too many embellishments. This is not good, this is not right, he wants to strip off the coats that are draped over the human skin, so that we can see the disgusting pustules on the human skin. So Daniel humiliated evangelist Eli, and at the same time PTA humiliated Christianity through Daniel. In the final climax of the film, evangelist Eli continuously said "I am a fake prophet, God is a product of superstition" in order to get Daniel's money. The hypocrisy of religion is obvious, and worldly money has become a tool for revealing human nature, revealing the truth, and I think this is why Daniel loves money so much. Under Daniel's tutelage, Eli's blasphemous voice grew louder, more formal, and more professional. Religion is being uprooted at this moment, thrown into the fire pit and burned to ashes. Daniel killed Eli with a bowling pin. This is the victory of the devil, but the victory of the devil is not to destroy the world and devour the light, but to bring truth, enlightenment, and reason to mankind. The devil is great, because he makes you afraid, and fear makes you think, thinking makes you redefine the world, and after redefining, maybe you will choose to be in the company of the devil.
