20201116 Rewatch. I thought I could understand it this time, but I didn't. The last time I saw it was in 2017 or sometime before. Daniel Day-Lewis himself is an entrepreneur who made his fortune by drilling oil. How could he play a movie character to such an extent! In fact, even if it is a true character, it must be difficult to have the lingering charm of Daniel Day-Lewis. Because of Daniel's performance, the character conquered me with his distinct personal charm, no matter what he did - losing objective judgment on his various actions. I watched his facial expressions the whole time, his eyes, how he reacted to things, lost focus on everything else around him. Because watching Atlas Shrugged, Daniel's character and a character in the book, Reardon, the founder of Reardon Alloys, are somewhat similar in some parts of the spiritual world. They are very focused, have a very deep and crazy study in a certain area, hate everyone around them, be straightforward with people, like to be alone, etc. There is something fascinating about these qualities, especially when they are in a person who is successful because of something. These captivating things took my attention and got me lost again in Daniel's ultimate performance, when Daniel shouted "i finished", I found myself excluded from the movie. In the next three years, I may understand.
The first time I watched Blood Is Coming, the missionary named Eli cast a shadow on me. The actor's face and his performance made me think that he could make a long-planned and sinister plan at any time to destroy everyone. He scares me, and this time around too, I'm even scared to see clips of him. I'm rewatching There Will Be Blood, because I didn't understand it last time, because of the branding that Daniel put on the film, because of the shadows left by Missionary Eli, and also that movie poster, the bloody sky is the same as black oil The earth, the sloping cross becomes the pumping unit above the oil well.
Although I didn't understand it, this movie still fascinated me.
