Right after Daniel's partner runs off to check on the boy, the camera closes in on Daniel's face, covered in oil, with a demonic look in his eye as he stares back at the flaming well. What you are seeing (or what this shot is implying) is Daniel Plainvews soul, entirely corrupted by greed. And the oil covering his face is a manifest image of that, as greed (oil) has literally covered his entire being. This close-up perfectly summarizes the entire point of the movie, and is one of the greatest close-ups in film history.

DDL, in his 50's, carrying that boy of 100-110 lbs over that terrain for that long for the sake of "the shot" is impressive (the music making it that so much more). Right after he goes out and takes a sledgehammer to the spike and sets it free with one swing. All that more impressive when considering the pyrotechnics going on, that he would only have one real take at it.

Now that I've been a father of a son I love dearly for a little more than 14 months this scene has taken on new meaning for me. This film is a tragedy. The spectacle of Daniel Plainview's descent into inhumanity is laid bare before us and - for those of us who love the film - we know his fate is sealed from the very first frame. But, in this scene - this tremendous scene - the last shred of spontaneity, the spontaneity of a father doing everything he can to protect the son he loves, is on display. It's the last time I feel hope Daniel may yet not extinguish his humanity; and it's short-lived. I've heard others say he shows his love for HW later in the film, for example, when he brings him back from the school he ships him off to, or when he confesses his abandonment of HW before the church, but I disagree. His ulterior motives are easily discernible in those scenes. In this scene, however, his reaction is guttural, instinctual. He runs to save his son. He cries when he asks him "where it hurts." I'm rooting for Daniel in this scene. I want him to salvage the last shred of decency he has left. But then, the realization hits; the ocean of oil is beneath him! And the last shred of his humanity sinks into it. Fathers, cherish your sons and daughters. Money and greed aren't worth it.

It's alloyed with his own ambition, sure, but it seems real to me, too.

One needs just to look at and hear the way Plainview dryly, nonchalantly says "No, he isn't" when Fletcher asks him if H. W. is OK. Plainview even asks him: "What are you looking so miserable about?" What kind of parent asks that question to anyone right after their own child has had a terrible accident? Plainview just didn't want the "sweet face he used in order to buy lands" (his words) to die. That's all. I'm tired of people romanticizing the monstrous and evil character that is Daniel Plainview; just like so many do with Michael Corleone.

Amazing how little the process of snuffing a gusher fire has changed in the past 100+ years. The guys who extinguished the Kuwait oil fires in 1991-92 used drums filled with dynamite carried on cranes but the technique is still exactly the same.

Thats engineering for you, just a long list of one way to do things, like modern aqueducts, although we upgraded with water towers.

I love films like this that not only transport you back in time to another era but also just give you a particular feeling that you don't get from other films, a feeling which can't really be explained. It makes you wish that the film wouldn't end. This is one of those films. Another that always comes to mind is Master and Commander.

Daniel has been reduced to naked man. He sits bewitched staring at a column of belching, roaring fire, as primitive man did millenia ago, worshipping it, revering it, at once horrified by its power and astounded by its beauty.

I’ve seen this movie twice, and I’m astonished that the filmmakers were able to make a historical drama about an oil prospector digging up oil during the gold rush such an intense and thrilling experience. This set piece is an encapsulation of how this film hooked you from beginning to end, using both real and cinematic elements to create such a great film.

Every now and then, if I'm watching an excellent movie in the theater, I have this interesting sort of "out of body" experience. The greatness suddenly takes me out of the movie but in a good way - I find myself aware of the moment in time, the fact that I'm lucky enough to be watching what I know will be a classic that's beloved for decades to come, right then and there. It's not a thought of "oh man, this is good", it's a thought of "this is the scene that pushed me into the certainty of knowing that this movie is one of the greats, and I am so happy to be seeing it". For me this was that scene.
