Daniel brought a ton of business and jobs to everywhere he went. An oil site easily employs over a hundred man, which would have to move their families with them, making hotels, housing. These families would then need to consume, making for markets, farming, cosmetics.
He always went on his word, he financed the stupid church which had not relevance to his business.
He killed two low life weasels.
He showed remorse for abandoning his son and then raised him to be competent man.
His ONLY flaw in the entire movie was turning his back to him later in life due to pride.
Daniel is the good guy, Eli was the snake.

The Great Silence (1968)

He literally raped the earth and started global warming by making us overly dependent on fossil fuels. He was almost as bad as Hitler.

This but unironically.

The only thing he did wrong was what he did to H.W. when he decided to leave.

Andrew was the real villain for drunk driving and getting into a crash. Fletcher was just doing his job.

If global warming is a "hoax" then how come it was 75 degrees outside today and its Spring? Climate change deniers should be put into reeducation camps.

tell me zac isn't the hero in that movie

Fletcher sent Andrew down a road to self destruction like what happened to Sean Casey. Andrews father looking horrified through the door is telling.

Couldn't even get that right. Your parents must be proud.

Remember when global warming caused a polar vortex?

did humans cause the last ice age 10,000 years ago too?

Fuck your stupid cult faggot

Yes actually. They killed all the big animals like wooly mamoths and so the body heat they released stopped which made the earth colder. Read a book.

I saw the same Magic School Bus episode you're referencing here, you're not fooling anyone. You didn't even read the source material.

Does it matter if I read the "source material" if its true? No. Humans causing the ice age has been scientific fact for years

This, but unironically

>whiplash
that is one of the few movies where there is no real evil as ab antagonist force wtf, the fuck are you up to?

Fletcher committed child abuse and Andrew got into a car accident while under the influence. If that's not evil then I don't know what is.

With regard to the image that he posted, the OP has said exactly the opposite of that which is the case. The atheistic capitalist is the highest good in this world, because he is the one most in conformance with truth. Daniel is also a good person because he correctly distrusts the false people who attempt to ingratiate themselves to him, and also because he kills Eli, a Christian (Eli was sincere in his faith, and not "merely" a huckster).

You know nothing about the science in question. You're simply repeating what you've overheard in mass media. Humans causing the last Ice Age because of hunting is obviously politically driving trash pop-sci from boomers who grew up in the 60s.

The theory rests on the assumption that large amounts of mega fauna going extinct caused the ice age because of the correlation of event times.
What's more likely is that the change in climate caused the mass extinctions.
Huge flaw in an already retarded theory. Humans didn't have the numbers in the most affected geographical areas to cause mass extinctions of mega fauna.

Wasn't his son. He told people H.W. was his son, to seem like a family man, but saw their relationship as "business partners".

It's like you didn't even see the movie, especially the end when Daniel TELLS H.W. he's an orphan, and H.W. is relieved they're not related.

And Daniel is evil. So was Eli. It was a lifelong struggle between the two, to be the winner. Thus the title "There will be blood". And there was, because that's how far Daniel would go to win, killing Eli.

You really should watch the movie, it's pretty good.

You're a pleb. The movie was about family. Daniel rejected his family, as did all of the main characters (Eli, Paul, HW) and were miserable for it.

Daniel didn't kill Eli until he was a relative of his (through marriage). This wasn't coincidence.

god I love seven

You're a spastic incel who doesn't understand plot. But tell us more how you got the whole movie completely wrong, it's fascination, it's a peek into the world of autism.

Are you seriously denying that family was a heavy theme?

Jesus Christ kid

I'm not the guy you replied to, but as I noted earlier in the thread, Daniel is fundamentally a good person because he is an atheistic capitalist. Also, although he turns on H.W. later, he does have genuine loving feelings for him throughout the first act (yes, they are genuine, notice especially the "scouting" around the Sunday ranch where he earnestly trains the boy and takes active interest in his development), which seems to have escaped you. The deafness+house-burning (later vindicated, of course) was what made the whole relationship go sideways, but Daniel faithfully (heh) provided for him all along. I wouldn't really describe Eli as evil but simply crazy, being all-at-once:

-a religionist (and a sincere one. To reiterate: Eli being crazy and putting on a good early version of a televangelist's shtick in no way precludes the sincerity of his religious feelings. In fact, there is nothing in the film to suggest that he secretly doesn't believe. Quite the opposite, in the final scene, he displays genuine spiritual torment brought on by the next point, and the (stock market crash) Depression, or at least (1927 preceding 1929) a downturn or bad money fortune along those lines.
-a homosexual (hinted at during the final scene, which explains the acting chops, on full display in every church performance, absence of a woman (women are almost non-existent in the film which of course is part of why it's so good, a la Lawrence of Arabia) and effiminacy of the character)
-a split personality case. Paul and Eli are the same person. There is nothing in the film which precludes this, nor does directorial/authorial intent, or happenstance of production, matter: the author is dead, the work must be interpreted on its own terms. If you disagree, you haven't watched the film closely enough, nor have you paid sufficient attention to the confrontation between Eli and father Sunday. The best way to understand the Eli character is that he is simply crazy.

>spared
Caleb's basically dead, he's trapped in that room till he probably dies of thirst.

>there is nothing in the film to suggest that he secretly doesn't believe.
Eh if he really believed then do you think he would've denounced God?

>a split personality case. Paul and Eli are the same person.
You mention Eli and Able's confrontation so recognize Eli says "It was Paul" to his Dad. You also mention authorial intent, suggesting you recognize that Dano originally was only cast for Paul not for Eli. So what evidence do you have that they're the same person, when there's at least three pieces of evidence (2 within the film, 1 outside of it) suggesting otherwise?

Doubling down on autism, always amusing. Pointless, but amusing.

Not that guy but a central component of the film's architecture is indeed family, specifically confusion of male familial identity. The need to know legitimacy of the male line is of course of terrible historical, cultural and psychological importance, and when it is thwarted, the victim is cucked/violated/betrayed, and it fucks with and damages people. Uncertainty of who you are as a man damages the man. It damages Daniel (when he is fooled by the interloper), it damages H.W., and it damages Eli, if one accepts the fringe theory which I espouse above. Further, the Bandy grandfather/grandson relationship is also slightly opaque: both have the same name, and Eli has some slightly confusing/muddying language about either-or-both persons toward the end. It isn't even clear by the credits who-is-who until one drills in and figures out which is the elder actor, and which the younger. All of this, and the near-silence/irrelevance of women, is of a piece with the Bible itself: the pentateuch and Gospels fastidiously record the generations of Adam and Jesus, various desert-dwellers, making them true. The film's desert-dwellers are not so lucky, which is the point.

It was only 38 degrees out today you retard. Global warming's a hoax.

this post is unironically correct

Daniel is not a good person. Period. The movie is not good vs. evil. It's evil vs. evil. They spell it out for you in the fucking title of the movie.

The film ends literally the second the conflict between Eli and Daniel is settled.

Split personality? You're a fucking retard, who hangs around /lit too much.

who gives a fuck? if we can have a good timeline where retard faggot humans don't completely fuck up the earth for all the unborn generations just so they can have a few extra shekels before they die, and that means that i don't get to exist, then that's fine by me

A central theme of the movie is the illusion of family.

It's astounding how many words you autists spew, and still get it completely wrong.

who cares about global warming dude by the time we are old nothing is going to happen by the time your grandchildren have 40/50 maybe , by wtf do americans or burguers care about that time you will be dead and buried , and even with your efforts 3rdworlders will keep using and abusing fossil fuels , climate change is irreversible deal with it because even if the first world fully stop using it "we" will keep the usage

If global warming is real then how come it snowed in Chicago today?

How would you falsify your theory of anthro-caused global warming? Your theory IS falsifiable, right user? Since it's science and all?

And if global warming is real, what do you propose we do about it considering Indians and Chinese contribute to far and away the most of it? White people pay more taxes? Do you have any solutions that aren't just redistributions of wealth to brown people or rich bureaucrats?

This is a fine post. With regard to your first point, If I've forgotten the bit (final scene?) where Eli denounces/curses God, then I cheerfully concede that in that event, I was wrong about the NO evidence claim (for Eli's insincere belief). I would then retreat only slightly and point out that true Christians curse god all the time, especially when they're down on their luck. (I really don't remember Eli being that cynical at any point about god, or "breaking frame").

To your second and more complex point, I start with the film itself. Of course, "both" roles were played by the same actor, and are never on screen (as it were) at the same time. Rather, Paul is a false interloper who parallels the false Daniel brother. I stress the central importance of false male familial identity in the completed film, as support for the Paul-and-Eli-same-person theory. You ask me for evidence, and there is a bit (I'll state a bit more in a moment), but one must bear in mind that this isn't science. It's a work of art which people are free to consume and interpret as they please. This is the way which pleases me.

I see the Eli/father beating as a psychotic break, in which Eli himself realizes that he was foolish to pretend to be Paul, to bring this powerful oilman into the town and stir the pot a bit. And another which stays with me: the very first meeting of Daniel and H.W. with Eli, near the Sunday ranch. They give each other a very knowing "wasn't that the same one that just..?" look. Sure, we all know about identical twins and all, but all of this is left unsaid. They're pretty darn sure (IMO) that that guy is the exact same guy who was in their office a while ago. Daniel's tauntings/confrontations with Eli also then become condemnations of him for never being straight (heh) with him, always half-suspecting. Leading up to the final taunt. (Daniel quotes a different sum given "Paul", knowing that this fuck in front of him knows that it was much less).

You've agreed with the substance of my much longer post, though, in what you wrote here. This self-defeating retort probably carries a flavor of disagreement with whatever above stuff you were writing, to other anons.

>a homosexual (hinted at during the final scene
Wait, what? I completely missed any hint eli was a homosexual.

>would then retreat only slightly and point out that true Christians curse god all the time, especially when they're down on their luck.
>I am a false prophet and God is a superstition
>say it louder for the people in the back
>I AM A FALSE PROPHET AND GOD IS A SUPERSTITION NOW PLS GIB MONEYS
Not exactly saying "God damnit" in the heat of rage, user. Eli was an unbeliever.

>Sure, we all know about identical twins and all, but all of this is left unsaid.
Not exactly. Daniel tells Eli he is the "afterbirth, slithered out on his mother's filth" expressly acknowledging that they're twins. Your only argument that they're the same person seems to be the confused look between Daniel and HW when meeting Eli, when they were just realizing they were twins. Your theory is far fetched and frankly doesn't add much to the movie, so seems unnecessary too.

Stop trying to pull me into your autism.

Autists always insert themselves into the story. He's probably a repressed homosexual, so he sees it in every character.

Oh, that, yes, okay fine. But Daniel was coercing him to say that. I'm disappointed in you that you think being made to do such-and-such under duress counts, user. Payback for "I've abandoned my boy." Each is coercing the other to say a thing which each doesn't actually believe. (Well, actually, it was Bandy who coerced Daniel to go to church, not Eli). The only difference being that Daniel, the good person, actually knows that it is untrue that he has abandoned his boy.

On the second point, this is just Daniel fucking with the crazy person in front of him, shivving him further about his twin-brother nonsense, to break him and beat him. Daniel knows very well by this point about fake brothers/male relatives.

I tolerate your rejection of the theory, but frankly, it adds to the film's appreciation, because it is of a piece with the theme. Again, the fake male relatives, confusion/repetition in Bible/gospel narratives. Eli's insanity, if we allow it, is the stuff of Wisconsin Death Trip, a wonderful historical record of crazy things happening in rural Wisconsin during the 1890s. Even the false Daniel brother mentions "Fond du Lac" for credibility.

Now since I ran out of room in the last reply: what specifically are the three pieces of evidence (that Paul and Eli are different) did you have in mind in ? There are of course: the surface-level interpretation overall, the film's development (and then getting changed). I feel like you had 1-2 more detailed things in mind.

Explain your homoerotic lust for Daniel Day-Lewis

But you just agreed with what I said, and you keep posting and engaging with me. Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!

He doesn't have a wife/gf the entire time number one, number two, I don't remember the exact dialogue but when he's breaking down in front of Daniel during the final scene he mentions mysteries/temptations, I'll let someone else find the exact dialogue.

Well, to begin with I like men, and secondly, DDL led the best film of the previous decade.

>I'm disappointed in you that you think being made to do such-and-such under duress counts, user.
If you believe that God is the all-powerful creator of mankind, you wouldn't denounce him because some guy won't give you oil money unless you do. Saints died by lion for their faith. Eli's willingness to denounce everything he purported to believe in and devote his life to because he made some bad investments was way too quick to paint him as anything but a non-believer.

>what specifically are the three pieces of evidence (that Paul and Eli are different) did you have in mind
You pretty much covered them:
>The plain reading of the movie/two characters
>Eli mentioning Paul to his father
>Daniel using paying Paul to taunt Eli

>Paul Dano originally being cast as Paul only, with a different actor playing Eli until he backed out at the last minute and PTA deciding to make them a twin
>Paul and Eli (Watkins) being different (non-twin brother) characters in Upton Sinclair's "Oil!" on which TWBB was loosely based.

On the other hand, your evidence that they're the same character boils down to:
>Daniel is confused that they look the same when first meeting Eli
>It would be cool if they're twins
Sorry, doesn't hold up.

I forget the quote, but he implies he's in debt. Could be booze, could be bad investments, could be whores. Other than Paul Dano being effete there's zero evidence it has to do with homosexuality.

I'm fine with the logic of that and sort of agree which is why i like the movie but that way of thinking is still technically evil and that's my main point

he killed an impostor and a false prophet. that makes him based you cretin.

ummm... what?

he gave that ungrateful brat a good life in luxury

Based gay DDL fan

>but that way of thinking is still technically evil

>>Extortion
>ummm... what?
Extortion's not the right word, but Daniel did promise Eli $5000 for selling, which he never gave him. The viewer excuses it because Daniel is a based alpha and Eli is a snivelling unlikeable beta, but he did actually owe him that money.

It's fraud, not extortion.

but daniel had to crawl through hell and back to earn his money while that sniveling ass eli LITERALLY dropped his faith for 10,000 dollars. he dehumanized himself in front of daniel for some dosh. he used and abused religion to get rich, did you miss the part where he whined about getting buttfucked by wall street? god knows how many religious people he scammed out of money during all those years in time-jump. besides, daniel had a tremendous respect for his twin brother. it's just that eli was a fraud.

Yeah everything you said happened like 10 years later. Remember when Eli got thrown in the mud for going up to Daniel (with bad timing since HW just went deaf) and saying "where is my money Daniel"? Daniel did owe him. He just never paid him because he knew he could get away with it. A contract's a contract.

It's like Goodfellas, where Morty keeps asking for his money. Just because he's annoying and gets outmuscled by the bigger guy(s) doesn't mean he's not actually owed the money.

>Evil
haha no, pleb

How the fuck does evil prevail in TWBB? He murders someone who is just as evil as him and goes to jail for it. That's it.

daniel didn't pay him because it was just some backwards cult larping as christianity, simple as. daniel saw right through him.

That's irrelevant. Daniel owed him for the land. Eli negotiated it when Daniel first got there. You don't get to put an offer on a house, take the house, and then neglect to pay the seller because you don't like how he'll use the money or his religion.

He owed him $5k for the land. Plain and simple.

Gonna spend another thread posting the same pics again like you always do?

Good polite/terse exchange throughout, actually the best engagement I've had on here on the subject. At this point, I conclude and declare victory with regard to the most recent post, for two reasons:

You think too much of men, and take god too literally. Any decent Christian knows how weak and fallible men are, and this, it seems to me, is what is on display in Eli's "denunciation", which he clearly and actively doesn't believe as he's saying it. I'm quite sure that at this very moment, Christians and Muslims are being made by Chinese communists to actively denounce their own faith, under the barrel of a gun (oh but a gun is different!). Are they insincere?

That Eli buckled, ESPECIALLY IN THE MILLEU OF A PRIVATE CONVERSATION, does not impeach his faith. He is simply a very fallible man.

And, centrally, you cling to the "concrete evidence" stuff, ignoring the larger points made. As it's art, I get to enjoy the film in my own way, having thought about it at some length, and enjoying the opportunity to expound my views. I win, and the reason why this is so is because the art is subjective, and is incapable of being reduced to an objective standard of measure. There is enough subjectivity in the art for me to use to rhetorical advantage, to frame and declare victory as I see fit. This is the general area where power originates; good night and be well.

I Saw the Devil

Haha >le art is subjective
Why even discuss it then? Why not be content to think that Eli's a transgender space alien from the Star Wars extended universe, if "that's just what I believe" trumps all?

Guys Daniel never killed Eli in the last scene. It was in his head. Eli comes in wearing the same clothes and hasn't aged while Daniel has. Daniel mocks him by saying that Paul has '5 wells, 3 proven' which is what Daniel told the townspeople years earlier in his opening speech. He gets Eli to denounce his faith and mocks him, since Eli left town before Daniel could defeat him.

In the film he is though.

Plainview was a sociopath but really he didn't go off the deep end until his "brother" turned up and abused his trust and genuine pleasure (a rare thing for him) to be a degenerate. This, combined with the unfortunate accident with his Son cutting off communication between the two just shut him off completely. He lost his 2 links to humanity, and Eli compounding matters didn't help. He expressed genuine grief when Eli forced him to say he abandoned his child.

Even at the end, after insulting his son, there's an ending montage that shows its not true; he cared for him as though he were his own and did express genuine love and concern.

Why do people shill for big oil? These parasites have been in power since before your grandparents were born. There is nothing counter-culture about sucking corporate cock. Why do you do it? Would you have shilled for horse-drawn carriages when cars were being introduced? Would you have shilled for candle companies when light bulbs were being invented? Unironically what is your thought process here?

what did H.W. stand for?

Herbert Walker?

Huge (Oil) Well?

how did HW know Henry was a liar?

is it simply to mock the big oil men or so HW can't read his lips?

>implying the world wouldn't be better under German social monarchism

>O'Connor
H.W. was redpilled about the Irish.

You gotta be quick around heah.

amoral=evil to me at least
taking life is evil, especially in the case of self interest and greed
when he kills Eli at the end it's pure fucking spite/revenge, any normal person would have been satisfied with the berating and told him to leave after that
Daniel is such an evil, spiteful man he feels the need to fucking kill him in cold blood on top of forcing him to renounce his "faith"
I'm not saying Eli is good either, he's arguably just as evil as Daniel if not worse, that's why the murder comes off as comically satisfying as it does
HW is probably the only pure-hearted character and Daniel abandons him out of shame and inconvenience when his ears get blasted
he's a bad fuckin guy and there really isn't a "good guy" in the movie
