Hidden Meaning in There Will Be Blood - Earthling Cinema

[@brandonramones823]

You guys forgot to add the fact that Daniel beating Eli to death is a parallel to the story of the brothers Cain and Able. where one brother killed the other. That's why Eli keeps yelling out 'we're brothers' before Daniel beats him to death.

[@bbgunn6288]

That's right. I noticed Eli's dad was named Abel

[@diegoguequen7543]

🤔

[@C00terBurger]

Alex Gonzalez Jones correct. Did you also notice that Daniel in the bible was the man who survived in both the hottest furnaces with I believe the hottest oils and a den of lions. Daniel can be seen as anti-daniel of sorts. Very interesting

[@satya4234]

He's an alien, he doesn't know about that!

[@abdallahelsheikh3579]

How is that comparable ? , in cain and able story they have contrasted characters where one is driven by an evil desire and the other is good at heart , whereas in the movie both Elie and Daniel represent pretty much the same characters with slight differences

[@MrDexter337]

I disagree that Daniel had no love for his kid. He definitely wasn't father of the year, but there was legitimate remorse for leaving him.

[@evancristianlopez5895]

Exactly Paul Thomas Anderson made that very clear with the flashbacks after he disowns his son

[@jcgenius4071]

I agree with your statement as if you pay attention to the the part where Daniel leaves H.W. You can see a tear fall from Daniels eye.

[@erickondusky2606]

He cares more about what people think of him doing it then rather feeling sorry himself. At least thats the vibe I got.

He insulted HW because he needed to cut ties, as HW was going into the oil business. You can see Daniel is broken up about it the next morning in a drunk stupor.

[@rajrouj]

I agree. "Bastard in a basket" is simply an expression of love from the father. I see HW as the villain here for abandoning his adoptive dad and not understanding what he has done for him all this time (even keeping a secret for such a long time is no easy task). The son turned out to be deaf...

[@haso323]

yeah. I really do think Daniel did love his son. He was just a bad father.

[@darwinxavier3516]

Sometimes love is not all you need. The only reason he would have to cut ties is because he's such a selfish narcissist that the thought of sharing anything(in this case business opportunity) with anyone is physically painful to him. So anyone who's not completely on team Daniel can go impale themselves. The only reason he's not the worst person in the entire movie is because he has to share even that with the equally douchy preacher.

[@xjcforever1x]

You think that his son in the worst person in the movie? Did you even watch the same movie that I did? Daniel was a terrible father, a murderer, and a person who took advantage of anyone who did not know how valuable their land was. Daniel and Eli were extremely similar characters who just used their ablity to be persuasive in different ways. I'd say you might want to rewatch the movie.

[@CJ-rg4qu]

You're way off in left field Jordan, he was talking about Daniel. Moving speech though. Back to the OP though, I think this is looking at the movie in a rosey way. I think he legitimately meant what he said and while he might have tried to be a good father, as he became more of a monster he knew his true intentions. Daniel had very little interaction with him and had no reason to be happy with him given he was going to be competition, given the light they painted Daniel in. Him waking in drunken stupor the next morning is just him upset the boy he took as his own would betray him.

[@jf8437]

Ive seen the movie at least 8 times now and it was on my second last viewing that i noticed that Daniel shed a single tear just before getting up and leaving HW on the train. I believe he truly does love HW but it’s at odds with his ambition. The scene is punctuated by Daniel’s inability to look back at the train as is leaves the station. He’s heart broken over the tough decision he must make. His character is way more complex and nuanced than most reviews give him credit for.

[@brianwalsh1401]

He's probably sad that all the work he put into having his prop and having him around was out the door. If he really loved the kid, like you said, he wouldn't abandon him. He never abandoned him before when he had less resources, why now? Because he was more work than resource for him and the starting the fire was the last straw. Daniel is a sociopath really incapable of loving anybody but was good with the kid in his job as making him look like a dutiful father.

[@aquaxbat]

They completely misunderstood Daniel's relationship with H.W. The key is the private moments between them. Watch them closely and you'll see that Daniel loves H.W. Paul Thomas Anderson has said so himself. As for the 3rd act Daniels deteriorating mental state and perceived betrayal at the the hands of H.W. caused him to say those ugly things.

[@chumychumychoo]

exactly, these guys are just reaching for meaning that isn't there.

[@Bluesteel_97x]

He loves hw but he loves money more, when he strikes oil and fletcher asks if hw is okay and daniel says "no he isnt" and fletcher goes to hw

[@FeministCatwoman]

He loved money and success in business more than his son.

[@nothingineternityterms]

H.W. is Daniel's only connection to other people. His love for H.W. is genuine, which is what makes Daniel's baptism scene so powerful. There's real repentance when he cries that he's abandoned his boy. However, H.W.'s disability and the estrangement that follows shortly after permanently severs their connection. Daniel can no longer confide in him, or mold him in his own image as he would his son. Instead, after having to kill his false half-brother as well, H.W. becomes a stark reminder of just how isolated Daniel is from everyone else.

[@clanwaddell5628]

Yes, if Daniel had put HW before the money and oil, he could have been a great father. Before the hearing loss you see their connection. Daniel needed a friend and that's what HW was. But after the hearing loss their relationship changes, HW becomes bitter. Daniel's cynicism won't let him own up to his failings as a father

[@chasevids14]

That last one about Daniel being the devil in the church I’ve never heard before. Good catch. In fact this could also imply with Eli’s representation as a false prophet, and Daniel walking in the church could mean that the devil’s works through these false prophets yet the people don’t seem to notice and are being deceived.

We have a saying in Germany, which goes "An der Spitze ist es einsam" and this one fits perfectly for this movie, because it means that someone, who apparantly has everything (Money, wealth, a large manson) and yet has nothing at all. The more wealth Daniel accumulates, the more paranoid and unscrupulous he gets, and therefore the more friends he loses because all he was caring for was money from the very beginning. And thats why he never feels satisfied and indulges himself in heavy drinking, causing his mental state to deteriorate. So I believe the main meaning of this movie is simple but powerful: Money is not everything, Family and true friends is what really counts.

You missed a lot of the complex emotional themes the movie touches upon. Daniel is not exactly the heartless monster you portray him to be. Instead he does have love for his son and even learns to grow attached to his ‘half brother’; however due to his troubled past he’s unable to form bonds and sees “the worst in people”. He’s a man who’s lost faith in humanity, and therefore when he sees that both his half brother and Eli were only using him for their own egotistic reasons he lashes out.

Daniel plainview loves the kid. The shot where he is giving milk for reviving from injuries you forgotten.

[@cambellfan22]

I feel that Daniel represents the devil in a way, in some moments as you look at him like the scene when the pipe is on fire and the glow on the fire is scene and you look at him as he is hunched over like some demonic imp and also the scene where he is getting baptized and he says give me the blood so I can get out of here, again the devil in holy places

[@nisjdhsi]

The shooting scene still makes me squirm. The way Henry stays alive for a few seconds is so unnerving

[@artfacekillah]

No waaaaaaaaaaay! I made the beginning comments! I think I have a new greatest life achievement!

[@CarlAquaForce]

That "abandoned my child" part of this was hilarious.😂

[@Sandul666]

can you do the hidden meaning of the thing?

[@AHouser86]

[@andrewnicon]

The jokes in this are terrible.

[@madbigborz]

Next year... But it's December already so next year is close!! omg got you so bad. #Dadjokes

[@thecofounders]

+Wisecrack you really got him with that joke. wow. classic.

[@aden_light]

There will be blood is simply referring to the end where he beats Eli to death. Daniel is evil all along using and abandoning his son who symbolized the last of his humanity. The end of the film simply affirms what we know from the start, he is cursed and he has killed his brother thus becoming dammed by god also (Cain and Able reference).

PLEASE DO NIGHTCRAWLER.

[@linkfan160]

6:09 fucking brilliant, never noticed that. Also, note the cinematography. Daniel's face is half in darkness and half in the light, symbolizing his struggle.

[@bobbyellis5006]

I really wish they'd just stop with the bad jokes. Give me the philosophy, give me the hidden meanings.

[@EPICPACKOPENINGSXD]

Yeah and it comes over as really disrespectful to the pictures being analysed. Plus I dont come here to laugh, plus if I wanted to laugh this is the last thing id watch.

[@kervensjasmin1508]

+Richard Lionheart not a single person is gonna change anything for you. IF you don't get what you want here move on and don't bitch.

[@msjkramey]

Are y'all just trolling? because they have other videos that do that. this series is called "earthling cinema" and the whole joke is he's an alien doing anthropology of us long dead humans... sounds like the premise went over your head a bit lol

[@samrichschleif]

Why watch this channel then?

[@Intracis]

wow that was a really good take with alot of points i diddnt catch. Im glad I watched. Subscribing.

[@T0NKA100]

I love all the Wisecrack shows. However, I wish Earthling Cinema would move a little bit more to the serious side and less of the silliness. I know it is meant to be comedic but I just think that it could gain from a little more actual analysis of the films instead of the humor. I realize it's a fine line to walk and not easy to please everyone though.

[@popc5245]

+T0NKA100 Is preventive so it doesn't become pretentious

[@edgarperez678]

I think I love you!!! Bruh you give the best synopsis!!
