....@jaiBavet: but even though he looks so different i think that his great acting skills make him atractive. i wasnt saying i hated his character, i love his character and he did a really good job. dont take things so personally man, i understand the movie, i was commenting on his look. seriously all i said was crusty old business man and you flipped out and gave me this speech about not understanding the movie. if i didnt like him or the film, i wouldnt be whaching clips on youtube. RELAX!
@jaiBavet: oh my gosh no...youve got it all wrong, i hate it when people have to take other comments so personally. i loved this movie and i understood it completely. what i was saying is that i think daniel day lewis is hot. he looks nothing like he does outside of his movies, he doesnt have a mostache or a deep raspy voice, and hes not as i dont know "crusty" (i think that best describes his look in this movie)...
Ha i love how daniel spills his drink on the hat and table at 1:35 he just keeps on going, hes so in to it. such a good actor overall the fact that he can act makes him ten times hotter even as a crusty old business man...ugh i love him
@ruggedrugs11 crusty ole business man? this is the true american fighting conglomerates funded by european elite, his anger towards other people is because of their ignorance, weakness, and lack of moral philosophy and respect for true free market capitalism... i feel like no one gets the film
@jaiBavet it's not as if the guy's a hero though. If P.T.A. actually intended for the movie to be any reflection of Upton Sinclair's book, or his sentiments, then Daniel is meant to be a greedy monster; Upton Sinclair certainly wouldn't have felt that Daniel is anything but a terrible villain. Daniel may be angry at other people's ignorance and weakness, and maybe even their lack of moral philosophy, but he certainly has no moral center himself.
@ShamusMcfitzy I haven't read the book, but doesn't the movie turn the entire notion of what a traditional hero is on it's head. I saw this is why it's called "There will be blood." The title indicates that no matter what things go through people's heads for the rest of our existence, there's one truth about humans that will always exist.
@Cheshykid well, I would say that all of that is true, but I was talking about the traditional definition of "hero" since jaiBavet was talking about Daniel Plainview as if he were some Randian hero. I think the movie questions the ideas of heroism and villainy by giving us characters, mostly Daniel and Eli, who are doing what they feel is right, but doing it through terrible means. Upton Sinclair's book similarly has no "heroic" main characters, only loose archetypes who embody human flaws.
@Cheshykid I think it's telling that one would struggle to find a review that doesn't use the word "greed" in the first paragraph. And if wikipedia and its sourcing can be believed (in this case NY Times Magazine and The Sunday Times of London), then P.T.A. sent Daniel Day-Lewis a copy of "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre", another film touching on a search for riches and the human drive, greed, and morality involved. The two films end up having seemingly different messages, but similar themes.
Daniel Day-Lewis is a real actor, and respects his craft, Marlon Brando was a fraud, un-worthy of screen-time, and should have stayed a stage-actor, or worked the Tom Sawyer Island ride at Disneyland.
; Perhaps you should go to Peru with Robin Quivers, and take spiritual instruction, and Ayahuasca, from some self-appointed 'Charmin', and the vomiting alone will distract you.
Well why don't you try to enjoy it elsewhere.lmao. If daniel day lewis ever said that to me, i would pick up my luch, take it somewhere else, and try my best to enjoy it!!!!!
shouldve left the scene in [without the blooper of course ;)] but even without it i had imagined something like this happening, its cool to see this extra scene, i suppose its about time i start watching the special features on my dvds from his work
Watch an interview with Daniel Day Lewis and then come back to this and then be amazed at watching a true genius who can transform himself into such a character that becomes the focal point of every film he is in. He could play the shark in Jaws.
Paul Thomas is equally deserving of acclaim. Boogie Nights is an underrated film, Magnolia was heart tugging..I have all the respect in the world for Paul Thomas because it takes a great template and vision to unleash a talent like Daniel Day Lewis.
@JohnnyMac2237 of course paul thomas anderson is the kubrick of your time. making films on his own beat and his own style. really a legend in his own right.
W O W it's the first time I see this scene...I have seen the movie at least 6 times and I didn't know there were deleted scenes...Is there an extended version on the film on a dvd ? or is it a bonus ?
as hard as I try I just cannot see Daniel Day Lewis under there. I look at him for a second to see if I can see some of the real him shine through, but then he does something so Plainview-esque and I see Plainview again, lol.
Its performances like these that put the Hollywood bullshit-hype machine to shame. Not every film or actor can aspire to greatness but they should at least try.
@hudson0815 I don't think it was scrapped as useless, rather one of all those scenes that get removed for pacing the film. Watch the so-called "director's cut" of 'Natural Born Killers". It's really interesting to see what they removed, but the movie doesn't get better with those scenes, only more messy. It's really cool to see outtakes on youtube though.
wow what a difference in scenes...this scene compared to the one that made the movie is crap. shows the fine delicate line between brilliance and complete bullshit. what a great movie...i realized when the movie ended that i didn't move a muscle and watched this character in awe not even blinking my eye
Man i'd love to see outtakes of all DDL movies. It would be fascinating to see his mistakes and how he reacts after. When you consider the legendary stories of him staying in character.
Daniel Day Lewis is such a great actor is literally mid blowing his performances remind me of how Health Ledger (RIP always) could transform into his greatest acting roles, Ennis del Mar, The Jorker etc.
Theory-- DDL didn't break character when he told the waiter to take the glass. I think that is exactly what Plainview would have said if a waiter didn't take his glass quick enough when he was handing it to him. DDL used the actor's mistake and kept the improvization going. I think he only broke character when Dillion laughed at the standard oil man saying he's crazy (which was probably part of the improv but his delivery was so matter of fact that it struck dillion and DDL as funny.)
@18ayonuss I think the whole scene was improvised and the waiter not being quick enough set DDL off. Then one of the "Standard men"'s lines "He's completely crazy" I think cracked him.
All of this was actually improv from DDL. He forgot his line from the start and still its very difficult to pinpoint the mistake without looking at the final cut. He is a true thespian master.
@slyester33 totally makes sense. DDL becomes who he plays, so improv is just another moment in life. (i guess.) btw, i can't believe that kid held his own throughout the entire muffed up scene (gotta love his release when they cut). wasn't this his first acting gig ever?
this is why staying in character on set is very important for actors, it makes the improv so much better and far more realistic because you know what the character is capable of and their limitations.
I agree. The film is creepy in itself. I still, after a few viewings, can't get to the root of it. Most people I've talked with write Plainview off as a capitalist, greedy man but, there is more to it......and I keep thinking about it.
In psychiatry he would be called a clinical narcissist. He was completely and utterly egocentric, as many scenes in the movie present. (The famous "People" scene). Most people who suffer from this disorder usually are covering up for a major weakness.
In the original script for the movie it mentions he is inf act impotent, and was abused by his father.
Child abuse has many repercussions through life, some of them being callousness, hatred, and cynicism.
Exactly! I kept thinking, where's the mess up until the very end but even the mess up is better than what many actors do as their best work. I would freakin raid and pillage and kill just to be as good as him.
ha ha testiment to how good DDL is, people on here syaing "where was the mistake","Whats Going on" etc, well improvised all round....if watch the final cut of this scene you'll see DDL forget his line very early on but kept it going as if nothing were wrong
This is my favorite movie. The first time I put it int he DVD player, it stayed in rotations all night and most of the next day. I was fascinated. I could not look away. Love this movie.
it's very weird watching an outtake for this film. this film is so serious that i don't think real people made this. LOL... hahaha. if you know what i mean...
Seeing outtakes of movies like this is really cool, since there's so much free reign and creativity involved, so it's going to look quite a bit different each take.
the scene got messed up at the very start of the scene but they just did improv you can tell that daniel wants to laugh but he doesnt he trys to save the scene
I'm suprised he makes it out of his movies in one piece. The level of commitment he puts into the characters to me seems like it would be too much to handle. I mean how does one not lose oneself, how do you go back to being your original self after being someone else so entirely. It must be terrifying and at the same time enticing to venture into a role with this level of commitment. I think i'd lose myself if i tried being someone else the way ddl does so for that i applaud him.
I agree karinajazmin. To submerge yourself so completely into such a dark character seems like it would leave some traces of that character somewhere inside. Watching him act so genuine and kind during interviews while making the show though makes me think he can handle it just fine.
@karinajazmin It's all technique! Some Method Actors see their characters as extention of themselves. For example, Daniel Day Lewis may have invested within himself to bring out his greedy side to show explore and show this character because Plainview is a greedy man. By doing this, they are, in a way, their original self...just extended.
Oh.. I hoped Lincoln was coming out soon, it's due out in Dec 2012! I'm going to be looking forward to that for the next 11 months. : )

He adopts a son who I think he genuinely cares about, but then the son goes deaf and he loses him a little.
Then the guy pretends to be his brother, and I think that really thew him off balance and convinced him he had no one left.
When his son leaves him he just snaps/breaks

I like your comment. I never looked at it from your point of view. Now, I just want to watch it again!

You are right, there is a much more.
In psychiatry he would be called a clinical narcissist. He was completely and utterly egocentric, as many scenes in the movie present. (The famous "People" scene). Most people who suffer from this disorder usually are covering up for a major weakness.
In the original script for the movie it mentions he is inf act impotent, and was abused by his father.
Child abuse has many repercussions through life, some of them being callousness, hatred, and cynicism.

What's with the gesture he made in front of his face at 1:15? Why did he wave his hand like that? What does it mean?

It's so strange to see him mess up and then laugh. He's usually in character all the time.

Talk about good acting, even the outtakes are good enough to be in the film!

Exactly! I kept thinking, where's the mess up until the very end but even the mess up is better than what many actors do as their best work. I would freakin raid and pillage and kill just to be as good as him.

Seeing outtakes of movies like this is really cool, since there's so much free reign and creativity involved, so it's going to look quite a bit different each take.

I'm suprised he makes it out of his movies in one piece. The level of commitment he puts into the characters to me seems like it would be too much to handle. I mean how does one not lose oneself, how do you go back to being your original self after being someone else so entirely. It must be terrifying and at the same time enticing to venture into a role with this level of commitment. I think i'd lose myself if i tried being someone else the way ddl does so for that i applaud him.

I think that's why he takes so much time between roles
to recouperate from the level of commitment.

I agree karinajazmin. To submerge yourself so completely into such a dark character seems like it would leave some traces of that character somewhere inside. Watching him act so genuine and kind during interviews while making the show though makes me think he can handle it just fine.
CMLAFLAMME 2 years ago 4
@karinajazmin It's all technique! Some Method Actors see their characters as extention of themselves. For example, Daniel Day Lewis may have invested within himself to bring out his greedy side to show explore and show this character because Plainview is a greedy man. By doing this, they are, in a way, their original self...just extended.
I hope that made sense lol
