There Will Be Blood (2007) MOVIE REACTION

[@JJ-oe4oc]

This is 2 1/2 hours of a pure acting Masterclass from the GOAT.

[@FrankFreezy_]

He did a fantastic job

I feel like to truly appreciate the Daniel Day Lewis’s acting performance, you need to watch an interview with the man. Then you’ll see that he truly disappeared in thjs role, there’s not a trace of the real Daniel to be seen. His voice, accent, mannerisms and demeanor have all been transformed into Daniel Plainview. Before this movie I don’t think I had ever seen that before.

This film was written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. His catalogue is incredible and every film he's made would be well worth your time: Hard Eight (1997) -- an excellent debut with incredible performances from Philip Baker Hall, John C. Reilly, Gwyneth Paltrow, Samuel L. Jackson and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Very Scorsese-esque vibe to it. Boogie Nights (1997) -- PTA's big breakout, a huge ensemble piece about the Golden Era of Porn in the 1970s and '80s. Magnolia (1999) -- another huge ensemble and a love letter to PTA's cinematic hero, Robert Altman Punch Drunk Love (2002) -- a 90-minute romantic comedy with Adam Sandler that shows how great of an actor Sandler truly can be There Will Be Blood (2007) -- the greatest film ever made The Master (2012) -- PTA's second-best film, with Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman at their absolute best Inherent Vice (2014) -- think of this as PTA's "Big Lebowski" in terms of a shaggy-dog stoner noir Phantom Thread (2017) -- PTA reteams with Daniel Day-Lewis in a romantic psychological drama about a fussy fashion designer in the '50s Licorice Pizza (2021) -- a sweet little hang-out movie PTA made with Philip Seymour Hoffman's son and one of the HAIM girls He also has a film coming out called One Battle After Another next year with DiCaprio.

Gosh, I love the soundtrack so much. It has this touch of madness that's so intriguing.

[@stephendavis6267]

The best film ever made in my estimation.

[@mcoupe69]

Ermmm um sorrryyyy but Highlander 2: the Quickening is the best film ever made objectively and factually

[@stephendavis6267]

Daniel Day-Lewis is the only man to win the Academy Award for Best Actor three times. He won his second for "There Will Be Blood." Day-Lewis is famous for his intense personal preparation for his roles, which can often take months of research and immersion into his characters to build them from the ground up. For "There Will Be Blood," he intensely and meticulously studied journals and letters from the era and also lived out in the wilderness to build up Plainview's sense of isolation more. Conversely, Paul Dano was hired to play Paul Sunday originally, but the original choice for Eli backed out a short time into filming. Paul Thomas Anderson asked Dano to play the part of Eli, and Dano had only four days to prepare for the much larger part. It's fascinating to see the two actors work together, with one having nearly a year of prep time under his belt and the other playing it on such short notice, but they work perfectly in sync.

[@campjinx]

The Paul dano part is fucking cool! I never heard that before!

[@cbmx1x1]

This movie is a great lesson too on how greed consumes you like a fire and hurts everything around you. Add alcoholism to that mix and you have a recipe for rage, violence, and despair.

[@rg3388]

I remember a tweet showing a picture of Travis Kelce yelling at Andy Reid. It asked what Kelce was saying. My answer was "Draaaaaainage!"

[@EShelby2127]

30:00 - Meeting with John Davison Rockefeller Sr. (July 8, 1839 - May 23, 1937) was an American business magnate and philanthropist. He was one of the wealthiest Americans of all time and one of the richest people in modern history.

[@scottlyons33]

Daniel's final scene is still the best acting I've ever seen.

[@jonathongeorge3093]

Paul Thomas Anderson is the director. My favorite movie of his (written & directed by him) is "Magnolia". It is dialogue heavy & has some very strange elements, but I think it is an absolute masterpiece.

[@LadyNyxTheSorceress]

Daniel Day-Lewis is my favorite actor and this is a masterpiece! I highly recommend ANY DDL films, they are all fantastic but I highly recommend Gangs of New York next.

[@yskim2636]

Masterwork. Best film of that decade.

[@richardadesmond]

I'd recommend completing the Western trilogy from that year and watch "The assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford" Some of the best cinematography and acting I've ever seen.

[@anamewhichisnottaken]

This movie is why the tiny oil derrick camp named “Plainview” is in both RDR games.

[@huntercoxpersonal]

Sardonic laughter is an appropriate response to many of the best scenes in this movie..

[@JamesVagabond-ho5tm]

Oh shit Frankie reacting to one of my all time favs! ❤

[@seansersmylie]

Check out Day-Lewis' first best actor Oscar win in the Irish film 'My Left Foot'. It's a comedy/drama based on the artist/writer Christy Brown who had severe Cerebral palsy and used his foot to paint and write. It's a great film that people seem to have forgotten about. Magnolia and Boogie Nights are two other PT Anderson films which are fantastic.

[@Mokoflama]

Paul Thomas Anderson (director) also known as PTA came out at the same time as Tarantino. Them and The Cohen Brothers have their own style. PTA has amazing movies, Boogie Nights was his breakthrough movie, but all his movies are great, The Master, Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love to name a few

[@EShelby2127]

Mary Sunday, the girl that HR married, was the only female that Plainview showed any warmth and affection towards, including the threat to her father early on that there will be no more hitting her! One wonders what Daniel's childhood was like and "what" he came from to be such a misanthrope.

[@mikeyben7]

The Master is one of Paul Thomas Anderson’s best works! You should watch that for sure since you liked this!!!

[@BouillaBased]

Considering how it ended, I can only think that Daniel should've done it a lot sooner. He would've saved himself a lot of frustration and embarrassment, dealing not only with Eli but the congregation. And ended up at least as rich, and equally miserable.

[@jeffwilliams2828]

11:22 The land probably was NOT in his family for generations. The Homestead Act was a government program that gave people free land to move west. As long as they were white, Christian and male they qualified for this welfare. This family most likely laid claim to a plot of land that was recently cleared of indigenous tribal people but had little commercial value. Selling the plot could get them out of a bad deal, but considering they most likely did not even pay for the land, any sale would be mostly profit. Ps Recently free or generationally free African Americans could NOT use the Homestead Act program. ***Correction*** African Americans were technically eligible for the homestead act ONCE the Civil War ended and North won. However, even though freemen were given first priority nearly ALL African Americans eligible were not able to lay claim to land in the Southern states they lived in due to extreme racism that was allowed to continue operating in those states for another century.

[@lithium23]

This is blatantly false. The homestead act was not only for "white Christian men." A quick google search tells us this. To claim land, applicants had to meet certain requirements, such as being at least 21 years old, being single or the head of a household, and never having fought against the US. African Americans used the Homestead Act as well. Some notable Black homesteaders include Oscar Micheaux, George Washington Carver, and Robert Anderson.

[@jeffwilliams2828]

⁠@@lithium23 That is so grossly inaccurate calling it a half truth would be akin to a lie. And a quick Google search will show numerous books and studies on the Homestead Act and African American participation. It’s no coincidence, that out of millions of freemen and millions of Homestead Act claims, you named only 3 people. In fact out of over 4,000,000 claims to land ONLY 3,500 African Americans were granted land. And NONE of the three you named had claims in former slaves states or California where this movie takes place. So tell us again how you think African Americans had the same opportunities to this program like the people in the film…

[@who-nobody-never]

"Welfare" mean you had to improve the land establish enough to live on, which established the property values which are taxed to this day and made surrounding federal land and state lands valuable to lease out. As opposed to welfare that goes to people and merely bribes them to hopefully not commit crime and cost even more money to put in prison.

[@MrPanMichaels]

I also thought Paul/Eli were the same person until the scene where Eli goes off on his dad. The last scene also gives us some insight on Paul.

[@sonofliberty1]

Is this a re-upload?

[@who-nobody-never]

The dynamite explosion suffocates the oil fire with CO2, it wasn't totally unexpected. The main thing is they got to the oil. When Saddam set fire to his oil wells as US forces advanced, they had to blow them up to stop the fires as well.

[@kevinslayzak1214]

Oh wow.,.. Daniel Day lewis is incredible in this.. excellent movie 👍✌️ great commentary on the evils of money and religion.

[@tiapesi2738]

I am recommending "Everything , Everywhere, All at once" once again. It is an absolute masterpiece, and I can't recommand it enough. It is pure genious. You will love it. It is my absolute favourite. I adore it so much.

[@crushy44]

My favorite movie!!!!!

[@evienicks]

It's really hard to get the kind of movie you describe made-one where the audience doesn't know what they're watching (or, therefore, where the formula for it has things headed), because the $ people really want to feel like they're banking on something reliably entertaining in some way. If it happens anymore, it's often because of auteurs like the Coens or (in this case) Paul Thomas Anderson, who can get the trust based on their body of work. Hard to get to that point, though, to say the least. Also, funny you should compare it to the Coens, since it went head to head with No Country for Old Men at the Oscars (in large part prompting host Chris Rock to jokingly ask something like, "What HAPPENED to you people this year?")

[@norwegianblue2017]

I'm embarrassed to say that the first time I watched this movie I was kind of bored. The pacing threw me off. But I kept thinking about it and thinking about and had to watch it again. And then again. Now it is one of my favorite movies of all time. This is the movie that put Paul Thomas Anderson up there with the elite directors for me. Daniel Day Lewis' performance was absolute perfection, as was the performance of just about everyone else in the film. 10/10

[@tiapesi2738]

Never seen this movie, so i am excited for this one!

[@LordInsidious]

I wanna start by saying this film is a masterpiece, but for the longest time I refused to watch it. Had NO reason but I just refused to watch. I love movies like this and performances like Lewis' and Dano's(the entire cast really, I mean I sit up straighter when Ciaran Hinds is onscreen) but for some reason I avoided this one like it meant death on sight if I viewed it. But today when I saw you reacting, I clicked insta-quick, no hesitation, all light speed. And now I know why I didn't want to see this movie....cos I just discovered that apparently There Will Be Blood is 2hrs of Daniel Day Lewis method acting as my mother and I can never unsee it. Cathartic and informative and therapeutic as hell but oooooh my god it's like watching my childhood but the only diffs are no oil, I still have my hearing and it's obviously not 1927(anymore)...and my mother is a black woman who looks nothing like Daniel Day, but IS this character through to her bones. Damn. This was awesome in the best unexpected way possible. Truly love your videos man and I love that I got to have this moment of cathartic enlightenment on Christmas. Happy Christmas dude!! ⛄

[@obscillesk]

Yea don't feel too bad about the twin confusion, that hits pretty much everyone

[@i2su405]

Who reacts to TWBB and cuts out the “I’VE ABANDONED MY CHILD!” Scene?

[@EShelby2127]

"I have a competition in me" is from the movie "There Will Be Blood," spoken by the character Daniel Plainview, played by Daniel Day-Lewis; it signifies his intense competitive nature and desire to always come out on top, often seen as a representation of his deep-seated greed and ambition within the film's narrative." "Daniel Plainview is the main protagonist of the 2007 epic drama film There Will Be Blood. He is loosely based on the James Arnold Ross character from the 1927 novel Oil!, who himself is based on the real-life oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny. He is an oil tycoon who goes through the ranks of small-time business man to a wealthy and egocentric oil man. Throughout the film, Daniel is extremely selfish as well as psychopathic, due to his ruthlessness as well as his skills to manipulate and deceive people ruins the relationships he has with everyone close to him."

[@mikeyben7]

This movie🙏🙏🙏

[@Pr0x1mo]

Dude, i'd watch Gangs of New York just to watch it for Daniel Day Lewis. I seriously watch that movie like its porn, just fast forward to the action (DDL's scenes) and the movie doesn't even have to make sense for me to enjoy his monologues.
