Thought Dano did a good job in the film. A film that he did screw up was Cowboys & Aliens but that film was screwed from the start so who can blame him ;)
Haha you can see it in PTA face. 2:30 translation. "That's Paul Dano the guy that fucked up my movie and made it go from flawless to just great. The one weak link in my whole fucking movie!"
@CharlieTrexx Actually. I've watched it several times since I made that last comment, and I owe Dano an apology. The more I watch the better I think he did. I thought about who else could have played it better. I couldnt really think of anyone else.
Im probably on a similar boat because at first his performance seems the lesser of everyone in the film. But I think its just how much I dislike the character that makes me dislike Dano. But just a fun fact. Dano was originally cast as the brother of the preacher, but once PTA saw Dano perform he offered him the role of Eli giving him 3 days to prepare his character. Day Lewis by comparison had a year.
@CharlieTrexx Yeah, I became obsessed with the movie and found that out doing research. Isn't that wild. That's another reason why I decided I needed to cut him some slack. That must of been one hell of a challenge. The actor that quit should turn in his acting card. Story is he was intimidated by DDL approach to staying in character.
I find resemblances between Ralph Fiennes and Daniel Day Lewis.

@Elmgren76 ... Daniel Craig?
This is an interview with Daniel Day Lewis, not Daniel Craig.

@Kimcee4younme I was referring to Paul Dano who played the preacher in There Will Be Blood.

@Elmgren76 I see.
Now that you mention it, I do recall thinking that Harrison Ford's son looked familiar.

@ 8:00: There's no competition between DDL and another because he's already topped the greatest screen actors out there: DeNiro, Brando, Dean etc etc

@CobainLennon8094 With all due respect as another PTA lover, but Paul Dano was a dire dire asset to this film. Only furthering this film.
