Reel Geezers - There Will Be Blood (Warning:Spoilers)

conceited wiseacre

The boy tried to kill the brother, not Daniel.

The Panhandle Plains museum in Canyon, Texas has a reconstructed full size drilling rig from that era inside the museum. They have a movie on the oil boom & a lot of interesting design features, with old oil trucks,an old gas station, valves & pipes everywhere, oil field tools, etc. It's worth a visit if you're interested in that sort of thing & if you're ever getting down I-40 thru Amarillo. Canyon is about 25 miles south, not a huge detour when you take the south loop at Amarillo.

she's great, even though she gets some details a bit wrong. He's an annoying know-it-all.

Daniel Plainview's arc, to me, seemed to be the depths in which he sank. At first he seems to be a dedicated, hard working oil prospector. Then he reveals some two-faced traits. And as the movie goes on you realize that he's not only two-faced but just completely vile. He has an uncanny ability to exploit people's weaknesses and, by the last twenty minutes of the film, you realize that he has no problem using that ability either. I think that, as a character study, it is in a class of it's own.

Daniel had no character arc after the first 20 mins? What about the fact that a lot of it studies him as a character. You are supose to think about why he does what he does. And he is a bad character but he sometimes seems like a compassionate man if only for short moments. For instance when H.w. is deafened during the oil explosion. This is a deep character, not just a "bad guy". That old wanker is a contradicting perv.

Being a deep character and having a character arc are two different things. He simply means that after the first 20 minutes, the character doesn't really change. Hamlet is also a deep character, but he has almost no character arc until the very end of the play. Hamlet is a stagnant character in many ways--but that makes him no less deep. Daniel is the same way.

Do they like any films at all? Most of their reviews concerning dramas have complaints about how brutal and dark the movies are. Yes. The world is can be a dark, brutal place, and these films address that.

And also, the music was done by Jonny Greenwood, the guitarist for Radiohead, not the lead singer. That's Thom Yorke.

lol the old dude thinks he knows everything about films cause hes 108

this was a masterpiece....the old guy's wrong
