"There Will be Blood" is the kind of truly great movie that turns your average moviegoer into a Bela Tarr/Andrei Tarkovsky loving cinephile before all is said and done.
@user-cq5sg9cb4tАй бұрын
There Will Be Blood is one of those films you watch early on in your exploration of cinema and go: "Man, that's incredible." And then, once you become more experienced, knowledgeable, your taste becomes more refined, once you disregard 95% of the stuff you considered "great" back in the day, you go back to it and still go: "Man, that's incredible."

I think Paul Dano's performance here is absolutely brilliant. I'd like to hear Tarantino elaborate more on this because I just can't see anything bad about Paul's performance. Every scene he shares with Daniel is just memorable and electric, you can feel the tension between them.

@borysvengerov3398Ай бұрын
He did say he has nothing against the performance (would be very strange indeed, since Dano is great). How I understood it's more about the "heavyweightness" of the actor in the sense of being perceived more menacing, cunning, "evil" if you will. Somebody like Michael Shannon, if he were a bit younger?.. Otherwise instead of worthy opponent DDL's character got someone he will obviously overcome without any real challenge. But hey, then again, maybe it was PTA's intent! Who can say.
@MissGigglesdotcomАй бұрын
Tarantino didn't say it was a bad performance, he's basically saying Paul's character should have been more on the same level as Daniel's. I agree, I didn't see Eli as a threat to Daniel at all.

@Chimchimchu10 күн бұрын
Daniel Day-Lewis picked Paul Dano personally ... I think that by itself will calm any qualms a person might have, and the rest can be attributed to Paul Dano being younger than Daniel Plainview by approximately 28 years. Dano's character is a charlatan that wants donations, or money by any other means. This shows an even earlier representation of Televangelists than it does of DD Lewis representation of early capitalism.

@@scottystcloud7086 Well, There Will Be Blood is up there with Citizen Kane, 2001, Bonnie and Clyde, and Star Wars as films that just saw what movies could be in a completely different way, and gave audiences something so different, it's kind of hard not to be obsessed with rewatching the film for the rest of your life. But as someone old enough to remember Pulp Fiction coming out, and how movies were before and after it, I think you could make a fair argument that it belongs in the same category. But maybe you're talking in terms of pure aesthetics. As I look over my list, all the other movies I named set out to give the audience a whole new audiovisual experience. Filmmaking is artifice, playing a whole bunch of tricks to create the illusion of reality out of flickering light. Part of the history of film is the history of filmmakers who discovered new ways to make that reality realer, and TWBB is part of that category. It basically rejects everything about how a story should be told, how images should be accentuated with music, the way plot elements should be signposted - Boogie Nights stuff. And it's centered around the performance of an actor so obsessive, you feel uncannily like you're not watching a performance, no matter how over-the-top he is. Meanwhile Tarantino is such an encyclopedic fan of film, every directoral choice he makes self-consciously positions the film within the canon of film through allusion and quotation. He's innovative as a writer - there's something about the "what do they call a Big Mac in France?" scene that ups the level of verisimilitude in a similar way - but you never feel like you're seeing something on film that you haven't seen before. In a way, it's a question of whether you value sincerity or self-awareness. PTA is utterly sincere, QT is utterly self-aware. But neither has ever made a film I wouldn't rewatch.

We almost know Daniel is going to kill him, we just wait for it to happen. QT is imposing the rules of his own movies onto this movie.

I read the book "Oil" by Upton Sinclair, I saw the movie, both are great. I particularly like the film because of Daniel Day Lewis' performance. I think everyone does. However I don't believe that Tarantino is right, I believe that we learn how Daniel Plainview was able to achieve this feat - with a broken leg from dragging himself not to the hospital but to Appraised is Gold - during the film. We learn that Daniel Plainview has no limits, nothing is an obstacle he cannot overcome between Him and his success.

fascinating and challenging movie certainly grows on you, Danos performance at best was pleasantly off

If TWBB is Muhammad Ali, then Inglourious Basterds is Gerry Cooney.

I like Paul Dano's performance in this movie because it seems fake and almost detached from 'reality' as presented in the movie. I think that's his character. I think Paul is capable of doing a grounded and believable performance, but the character in this movie is someone who you would never know if he was doing an act or not. The character is fake/shallow/performative, and Paul plays him that way. The performance might not be believable in the same way as Lewis, but there's something unbelievable about the character as well. His way of being in the world is completely foreign to Daniel's character and I think Paul does a great job of conveying that. The interplay between unrelenting ambition and naked greed, vs contrived piety and masked motives is beautifully conveyed in the movie. I think Paul's performance lends itself to that concept perfectly.

Daniel was better in TWBB than even Gangs, this was definitely his opus, it sucks he retired.

The Daniel/Eli dynamic shows the rise of corporate power over that of the church, as the gilded age tycoons no longer feared even the Catholics given their immense wealth.

I love everything QT had to say about the film except for his note on Paul Dano’s performance. I thought it was an amazing performance, he just had the bad luck of being on the same screen as the best actor to ever do it.
