I cant belive that you are serious about thise arguments. The main character is a selfish greedy person that only sees humans as weaklings, you are not suppose to like him, just analyze him. The reason why he was so cruel towards his son at the end was becouse he feal betrayed. He only loved his son aslong as his son helpt him. And why should he be friend with the priest even if you sade that they have a history of animosity & what do you mean with getting away with murder,the movie ended after?
When Daniel finished beating down Eli, his butler arrived and asked if Daniel was finished bowling. Daniel answered yes as if nothing happened. Daniel also threaten to bury Eli earlier in the film when Eli asked about his money. With that in mind and having no eye-witnesses, you can take a wild guess as to how I presumed he got away with murder.
At that momment he was an emotinal wreck . That is what the entiere movie is about. HIS SELF INSIGHT. Even if he freatend the guy to death would´t mean that he would get away with it. If I told you right in your face that I would kill you do you think that I would go to jail for that. Unless you tell the cops I dont think so (+ if I was a rich buissnes man that keept your town alive I dont think you would want me in jail). Do you get it.
Also about his trait being supposedly despicable, he never changes through out the course of the film. I'll might as well stare at a poster of Adolf Hitler or Kim Kong II for two and a half hours.
No I am not teasing you, nor am I being stupid. When I see a character who's selfish, nasty, and carrying all these flaws around them, I expect them to change at the end. It's called CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT! This movie doesn't have it. Let me ask you, what's the point of "Anazlyzing" this character's "Insight" if he's not going to change? Why would I even draw the interest of a selfish bastard of Plainview in the first place if he's not supposed to be liked?
Yes I saw the scene where Plainview was all drunk and regretfull about his son, and I didn't buy it at all. Why? Because if he was this regretful, shouldn't he... oh I don't know.... APOLOGIZE TO HIM??? We don't get another moment of that subject as soon as we're cheaply jump cutted to Eli.
Inception was a philisophical and an intriguing narrative to the mind of slumber and its special effects supported it. There Will Be Blood was just "Acting".
this movie is amazing, you need to give it another chance, the only reason you don't like it is because you didn't like it the first time you watched it.
That and you can't, in any way, relate to the main character.
You want Plainview to make things better for his son, but you don't see that his ambition overrides his love for H.W. By the time H.W. came to Daniel in the end he was already a grown man.
Really? You're going to tease the choices I have for the 2000's like Harry Potter? You'll might as well tease those who have "Back to the Future" as their favorites of the 80's because of not being an Oscar Wining film as well.
I knew there would be something wrong with this review as soon as you suggested Harry Potter as one of the top picks of the decade. I'm not going to send you an immature response as to why you're wrong, but I will say that you should lower your voice during your reviews. There Will Be Blood is clearly not for everyone, but I consider it a masterpiece. You should check out Tarantino's review, which is a much more detailed and logical analysis of the film.
Yeah I admit that I overreacted to the point that I yelled too loud on the mic. I was really pissed off that day, thinking about my experience of this movie, but it's really no excuse. For that and being incredibly harsh on this film, I do apologize. I listened to Quentin's analysis of the film. Admittedly, he's one of my favorite directors, and Pulp Fiction is one of my all-time favorites. But he mostly talked about the performances, or Paul Dano's at least, and set pieces.
I could care less what others say about this movie at this point, even to proffessoinal directors. Not even Tarantino conviced me when he talked about it.
Pan's Labyrinth was a nice blend between fantasy and historical literature with beautiful cinematography and an ending that left you to decide for the little girl's fate.
Add to that, he did say you have to watch it more than once before sending your judgement on it. I don't mind too much as long as I find something worth watching behind it. I might look at it again and see what I missed, and perhaps make a second video about my feelings to this movie. Until then, I still consider this movie to be garbage. If you consider it a masterpiece, fine. We have our own opinions.
I didn't like There Will Be Blood, either, even though Magnolia is one of my favourite movies. And I also really like Anderson's other works. I liked the silent opening and Paul Dano's performance, but I was otherwise disappointed and wasn't fond of the rest of it. I don't hate it as much as you do, as I feel its technical elements were well done, but considering how strong Anderson's screenplays and direction usually are I was very disappointed in it.
He's an "evil" man that doesn't like people...why would he get along with Eli? How did Eli not intrigue you as a character..?

@rovdjurx12 I guess you missed the part where Plainview became a complete alcoholic full of regret.
Its clear you missed many things condensed in this movie, might want to watch it a few more times before running your mouth.
Inception doesn't begin to compare to this movie in terms of detail.

as an example, at the end of the movie, when Daniel is in the throes of a binge, scenes pop up between he and his son, H.W.
In those scenes, you see Daniel sober and playing with H.W. in a dismissive manner. Moments of regret.
It is subtle and fleeting, but those few glimpses in film get a point across if you catch them and rework it in relation to the rest of the film.
Plenty of examples like that.
It is an amazing movie, I am sorry Harry Potter and the Seven Stones have a hold on you.

just watch it again without all of the spectacle and bullshit surrounding its reviews, watch it with an objective mind.
Place yourself in the position someone like Daniel Plainview from the beginning of the film.
Keep with the slow pace, and try to absorb all of the subtle nuance in the film.
Its amazing, I guarantee you.

I'm willing to bet Guillermo Del Toro would tell you that this movie is better conceived, directed and performed than Pan's Labyrinth.
