Oil, the black gold of the world. Discovered for the first time in 1902, this is the story of the life of a rich man, Daniel (Daniel Day-Lewis), a miner who seized the opportunity to pick up wealth with his son HW and leap into the oil tycoon. But that's not the point. Taking oil as an introduction, finally depicts Daniel's dark life. This insidious, ruthless oil dealer who never gives up to achieve his goals, takes money as his belief, destroys human nature, and tramples on family affection, of course. There are also several religious collisions with Pastor Eli (played by Paul Dano), the story is very exciting, and the strangeness of the soundtrack makes me have a different understanding of this movie, and even feel some weirdness and fear, The temptation of black gold is huge, as if it is a struggle of a person who fell into the oil vortex. Although he is struggling, he can't escape the arrangement of being swallowed by the black vortex, and the blackness penetrates into the bone marrow.
Daniel ruthlessly abandoned his son, and his son's resentment against him grew day by day. Afterwards, he tricked his son into getting on the train; one day, a younger brother of his own came, fearing that his younger brother would snatch his property, he would kill his relatives and then destroy them. The corpse was buried on the spot, and when he became an oil tycoon with huge wealth, he personally killed the pastor Eli, and the resentment against religion that had been accumulated for a long time broke out. There are five points for the collision of different ideas. One is that Eli wants Daniel to invite him to do the ceremony unveiling, but Daniel despised him and explained that Daniel is arbitrary and has no belief or belief in money; the second, a production accident caused one person Death, Danny wanted to ask Eli to pray but was rejected, and the two of them forged grievances again and again; the third time, the platform caught fire, causing his son to be deaf, but Eli blamed him for not inviting him to do the ceremony, which led to the tragedy. So Daniel made a big fight; the fifth point, the purchase of land was required to do the same, Daniel did it, and Eli used his own way to repay his own body. , but in the final fifth final showdown, Daniel won, making Eli shout: I'm a fake prophet, God is a product of superstition! Bringing this twisted pseudo-Christian to the fore in the form of a tyrant undoubtedly represents director Paul Thomas Anderson's disdain for Christianity.
Daniel, who has won three Oscars for Best Actor, has an extraordinary level of performance, and his performance of a mercenary businessman who is greedy for profit is deeply memorable. Throughout the film, Daniel's appearance is always more than half of the black shadow, and at certain moments the entire face is dark, or always gives a gloomy feeling. This also proves the changes in human nature along the way. The diversity of music can further highlight the dark inner process of capitalists, creating a unique atmosphere.
