Sorry to be pedantic. But i think 'Oil!' is written by Upton Sinclair, not Sinclair Lewis.

They just don't get it at all. They only see things on the surface. They don't take the time to look underneath. You can't just say no, he didn't love H.W. It's way deeper then that. Nothing in this movie is black and white.

@err2005 Don't lie you cheated and Wiki it. I did too. I didn't get it at first.. If you did actually get it on your own. Touche. I knew he wasn't trying to kill Daniel but I didn't understand why he did that.

Daniel Day Lewis's character doesn't learn the error of his ways because this movie is a tragedy. It couldn't have ended any other way.

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but the music was done by Jonny Greenwood, who is a guitarist in Radiohead, not the lead singer. Good review though. I didn't know the characters were based on real people.

Very nice review, I like that you know so much about the material used for the movie, for instance that Upton was a socialist, really sheds a new light on the movie.

Daniel Plainview has a really defined character arc. He goes from good guy to villain. Normally in hollywood movies the hero goes from a loser to a hero and makes a journey. But no one ever said that a hero shouldn't make an other journey. From decent guy to evil guy. It was to me verry satisfying and the character arc is defenitely there.

@err2005 That's a interesting insight. Could you go into it a little more for me.

There Will Be Blood is such an old-fashioned movie, in the way it's made, that it makes sense these two like it.
I just want to clear something up. The kid DOESN'T try to kill his father. He recognized that the man who claims to be Plainview's brother is an impostor, and he lights up a trail of oil that leads to this impostor's bed.

I was so happy when the oilman finally killed the religious nut in the bowling alley. It would have been better if he had burned him alive though. And then found a way to bring him back and burn him alive again. And then repeat that for eternity.
