There is nothing particularly worthy of praise in the whole drama except for the acting skills. Lewis's dramas seem to be like this. They try their best to show their acting skills, but the plot is always lackluster. It's always a long time, but it never has the tight-knit feeling of Gone with the Wind...
In the five head-to-head confrontations between Daniel and Eli brothers, the acting skills of the two actors are the main highlights of this movie. Paul Dano's full play is not inferior to Lewis.
The first time, when Eli's brother Paul went to find Daniel. A young man from a remote village full of vagabond temperament, facing the wealthy and powerful Daniel, he is not afraid of the opponent's imposing manner. Take the initiative to ask various questions to preempt the opponent, ignore the opponent's tentative questions, and insist on your own bid by increasing the price without hesitation. Because he knew that the chips in his hand were attractive enough, coupled with his natural calm, he won the first leg with Daniel.
The second time was when Daniel and Eli talked about land prices. Eli's first words with Daniel at the dinner table revealed that he and Paul were almost identical in character, calm and uncompromising. Victory this time.
The third time was when Eli asked Daniel to give him the first chance to speak before the mine started. During this conversation, Eli still did not give in, and still showed the negotiation skills of the priest, but at this time he did not understand that his The chips have been lost. Then it was put together by Daniel - well-dressed, Eli, who was at the peak of the show's appearance, came to the mine, and planned to show the priest's charm to all the masses with the support of Daniel, but was completely put aside by Daniel. At this time the seeds of hatred began to be planted.
The fourth time, Eli relied on Uncle William to get a game back, making Daniel lose face in the church - Daniel is acting, but who is not actually acting.
The fifth and last time. Father Eli finally gave the audience his full face—a absentee in a priest's skin.
First, write it in a chaotic manner, mainly to keep a record for yourself.
