These days, I have seen the blood is coming, there will be blood. The name is somewhat similar to the tone of "let there be light" in Genesis, does it imply that the protagonist Daniel is a "god figure" in the movie?
I like it the most at the beginning and when the oil springs in the middle light up the night sky. The depressing, rhythmic hammering sound at the beginning, the blurred and tough faces of the characters, and the dim low-contrast lighting all create a depressing tone for the whole movie.
I was also very impressed with the shots of the oil field in the middle that lit up the night sky. There is no sound in the shot, just a voiceover, a cello violin ensemble. A little crazy, low, fast-paced melody like a messy pace. In a deep focus shot, the dark sky contrasts sharply with the firelight linking the sky like a line.
The use of background music is perfect. The suppressed sound of the violin is the fire of anger churning in Daniel's heart.
Biblical allusions are interspersed from beginning to end, especially the sentence "god is a superstition" which is similar to Nietzsche's "god is dead" makes me feel a kind of sarcasm like a joke. This is a kind of beauty. The treacherous music and the easter eggs in the camera can't help but sigh that Anderson is a master genius.
