  • Greatest film of this century so far.

  • Great film

  • About 29 seconds into this trailer there is part of a scene with Abel Sunday where he says "my son is a healer and a vessel for the holy spirit" but this wasn't in the final version of the film - at least, not the version I have. Does anyone know if there are different versions of the film that have been released?

  • Good film!

  • I've read the interpretation of the plot as such: Plainview represents pure capitalism, with his raw lust for power. His main opponent, Eli Sunday, represents religion. Both ideologies compete for the heart of America; both are, in several fundamental ways, corrupt methods of manipulating the weak. By the end of the film we know which is victorious.

  • I understand this can be a good movie from an artistic stand point, but where does the movie start to become entertaining? Clearly I do not understand movie reviews if this can pass for entertaining. So tell me do movie reviews give ratings based on entertainment value or artistic vaule, because I could not even give this movie 1 star for entertaining. I have also been told that this was exiting, but I may have blacked out during those times.

  • @arkbound1 maybe you should watch some disney movies then...

  • @arkbound1

    cool, continue to watch your mindless action summer flicks. if you couldn't find entertainment in the amazing acting in this movie, theres really no hope for you

  • @jeremyp371 Thanks I didn't relize my form of entertainment wasn't up to your standards. And to me acting is with less than shit if thats all the movie has to offer. It's like putting all those actors in the movie called "Plan 9 from outerspace" and expecting it to be a good movie because the acting was good. So sir I sudgest you go ahead and pull your head out of your ass.

  • @arkbound1 too bad there will be blood has a good story and plan 9 doesnt. im not sure what you were trying to do with that comparison

  • @jeremyp371 I do not see an interesting or even a well written story from my perspective. It is my opinion and i'm entitled to it. Half of you assholes are just plain smug, what was i thinking asking people like you an honest question and expecting a courteous response. sorry to disturb your "vastly superior intellect" surely i am not worthy of such a movie.

  • @arkbound1 no problem! at least youve learned your place

  • This film will go down in history as a great.

    A lot of the films we now consider to be 'the best' weren't received as such at the time of their release. This is one of these films.

    10 years time, this film will be considered one of the best. I'm sure of it.

  • @Frillar I read and article by, I think, Peter Travers of Rolling Stone. He wrote that this is the best film of the decade, hands down. I think you're right.

  • yo is the son on the farm the same guy who took 500$ from him at the begginning?

  • @MultiMuchacho No....twin brother (Paul)...He's the chosen one...lol. Eli is on the farm.

  • #OMG fіlm super watсh online or clownload роор.su

  • This is about tough immigrants and weak residents, It/s a brilliant lesson in people who think they''re -uh=this is layered, I don't want an expert without shit under his fingers to give me one because ..Houston.] bully/.

  • im looking for this song.

    Does Anyone know?

    thanks

    and yes, holywood, make more movie like that !

  • i give this movie 10/10

  • Remarkable film with an astonishing soundtrack, the best in years and years. A classic in fact.

  • great film the mans a psycho lol

  • If you seriously hate this film, you probably have absolutely no appreciation for "the arts". TWBB was beautifully shot and the scenes are each frame was produced with such precision and perfection, that you can't help but to be in awe. I really feel sad for anybody who is so dull, that they can't appreciate what makes this movie so wonderful.

  • @ckad79 Well I most definitely agree with you.

  • Very very very good movie!!!:)

  • Gonna watch this again soon.

  • One word to sum this movie up: epic.

  • Soundtrack by Jonny Greenwood made the film.

  • yesyesyesyesyes

  • this was brilliant.

  • this is such a great film. and daniel day lewis was better than perfect in this movie.

  • @Cineman513 absolute correct !! EPIC!!

  • I honestly feel so bad for Eli .. but he's a crook as well though . But damn was he bullied by Daniel so badly! LOL

  • @oormila I feel bad for Eli's dad! Eli smacked him around pretty good at the dinner table.

  • Dillon/H.W. and I are starting a fan website.

    commrnt this video on pepole you want him to sout out to...

  • Shout out to Ryan Erwin

  • Paul Thomas Anderson is getting better each time out.

  • I know!! The part that got me was when he was banging on the door and it was locked. The scene really showed how weak he really was and how mad, I suppose, Daniel was.

  • I feel sorry for Eli too, it made me almost cry at the end.

  • i was laughing my fucking ass off!

  • SPOILER WARNING DAMNIT

  • does everything have to be about bush-hating. good god. i look forward to this election if just for the mere fact that you idiots will shut the hell up and stop whining about bush. at least you'll blame someone else for a change.

  • I'm sorry was I bush-hating? I thought I was commenting on parallels drawn in the movie, I never stated I had a hate on. I think we are in an interesting time politically and this movie reflected it at times. Yikes!

  • what kind of cool-aid do you drink???

    j. jones

  • I think this film is commentary on how capitalism is overpowering everything we value in life, and how religion was dominated by greed ( bowling alley scene).

    The film focuses on economics so it can't be political commentary

    If this is double posting im sorry comp screwed up

  • Good comments. Time for us to go back to what works. Live simply. Nothing wrong with that. I hope more people start to.

  • i agree with you davidngo!! we cant be talking or be affiliated,

    with.....these people.......they dont wish to succeed.....they dont have a competition in them.......they are.....sheeple, not people.........

  • Brilliant movie. Daniel Day-Lewis absolutely blew me away. And it draws on a lot of parallels to the political situation the States finds itself with Bush. The son's name is HW, innnteresting. Those similarities aside, it's a great film on it's own. Juxtaposition of the classical horror-sounding music against the turn of the century dusty old west community was fabulous. Loved it!

  • Jesus, you draw parallels like that? Using that (shitty) logic, I can draw a parallel between this movie and the board game "Candyland".

  • Well you can look at Yorkies post down there and maybe that illustrates it for you a little better. I simply added another reason.

  • That's just adding together universal themes to arbitrarily draw any parallel you want. The only similarity between the two is oil. Replace oil with "candy" or with "political power" and you could tie it to Willy Wonka or any politician in the history of the world.

  • It was based off a book written in the 20s dumbass

  • loosely based on the book.

  • I think this film is commentary on how capitalism is overpowering everything we value in life, and how religion was dominated by greed ( bowling alley scene).

  • ahaha zing indeed

  • Zing.

  • Story about family,religion,greed and oil.

    Hmmm. Can't help but think it's suppose to

    be about Bush.

  • i cant wait to see it

  • best movie ever

  • very good

  • Damn good movie.

  • great movie indeed
