Success. But at what cost

That oil Derrick looks like its made with wooden planks.and yet it seems 100 percent fireproof.

I dug those holes in an extent volcano 😔 with a jakhammer😂

I built it 🙂

Damn people are sucking this movie off

Гениальный фильм!

If only the well got blessed.

There are moments in film your realize damn they got this and nailed it this is one of those scenes.

The music in this scene was insane 😭

🎉 ٢٣2

Proof that CGI even at it's best isn't sh$t compared to the real thing when done well. In this case, EXCEPTIONALLY WELL

Is that the left 4 dead 2 witch moan sound effect at 2:33 ?

One of the WORST, MOVIES, I have ever seen in my life. (85 years).

The soundtrack is spectacular !!!!

There is so much tension in this scene that you feel physically exhausted by the end. PTA is a visionary.

Jonny Greenwood is just goated

Superb.

I've always loved the panning shot around @4:00 when Plainview goes to cut the supports... brilliant cinematography

"Awwlright that's enough H.W.......that's ENOUGH!!!"

From a technical standpoint, showing the drilling technology of the day, and the sequence of events in a blowout….absolutely incredible!

Daniel is concerned for H.W., but his concern for the oil just outweighs it. He has a soul, but it's tainted by greed... and totally blackened by the end of the movie.

Putin thinks he's the next Kathrine the Great.

The only thing that could make this film better is if i didn't have to get suggestions for videos about what quentin Tarantino thinks about this movie.

Thank you DDL for this performance and greenwood for the music

This was the film that opened my eyes to cinema. I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

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.

Daniel was always painted as a villain, greedy and heartless, which he is to an extent, but the fact that the first thing he did was to run to get HW and to bring him to safety, shows that he indeed did love the boy, in his own way

i just watched this movie for the first time a week ago and i have not stopped thinking about it at all ESPECIALLY this scene. truly amazing

This scene was filmed in almost the exact same part of texas as the opening part of No Country for Old Men when he's tracking the dog

I remember this movie.. amazing sad but yeah 👍

When you die for jewish oil

There is a problem at the end of the scene. If you look at the guys holding large protective sheet when they pushed the explosive in the fire. The explosion did nothing to the large sheet. Like if the exposition never happened and they added the explosion later with special effect.

Oh god I JUST watched this scene and read some comments and NOW I wanna watch it again, so good!

Every second of this is so dense. Great stuff.

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.

they originally meant to do a take then put the fire out and do another take but they couldn't put the fire out and had to scramble to film this scene. the reverse on Daniel talking with done with film lights to mimic fire.

6:04 I *HATED* Eli.

These cgi shots from 1:28-1:32 were the only shots to use computer-generated imagery in this entire scene everything else was practical.

2:30 Did they use the Witches moan from Left 4 Dead 2? I was watching this with a friend and we both picked it up.

2:47 bro really said "open ne noor"

7:01...this and forward, just fantastic. The music is just complete chaos much like what is happening on screen. Hard cuts when the explosion happens. Brilliant.

Love and devotion❤

Poor kid

Jesus

The music is too loud, found it distracting

This film bored me to sleep.

See.., this person has all the facts..LMAO 😄

I know a guy who is actually a billionaire, on the Forbes list and all that. He's a lot like Plainview -- he only sees people as the objects he will use to make more money for himself. He has no real compassion. Plainview isn't really worried about his "son" in this scene -- he's only worried about losing a useful prop in his pursuit of wealth, which is what he adopted him for. Everything is a transaction or a game to be won, and losing is unacceptable. My "friend" is addicted to screaming at stockbrokers and financial advisors on the phone -- "Did you fucking hear me??? Seize and control!!" They are nothing more than the objects he uses to make more money for himself, and losing is not an option.
