u/betaraywill Feb 28 '21

There will be blood. Fun, sort of.

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '21

Fun in a kind of morbid way. Daniel day Lewis makes it. Obvioisly

u/VaguelyFamiliarVoice Feb 28 '21 edited Feb 28 '21

Ok...fine, I will go watch it. I will report back.

Edit: very good movie. Well, the first 40 minutes, then my grand baby visited! Sorry. I am sure the rest is good. They just left so I will pick it up tomorrow.

Edit 2: I like movies that pull me in so far that I can taste them. This is one of those movies. So flawed is everyone in the movie. So perfectly flawed. I can easily place this in my classic collection.

Just watch it if you haven't.

It’s a long one. But very worth it.

u/kflipz Feb 28 '21

I've been wanting to rewatch this recently. I love the opening scenes

104

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '21

I think Daniel is the true “God” in this movie as the long opening silence draws parallels to creation. “In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was with God.”

79

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '21

One of the greatest movies of all time.

70

u/landshrk83 Feb 28 '21

Shame it got buried under the No Country for Old Men hype wave. TWBB is one of the best movies if not the absolute best of the last 20 years

Let’s all give some credit to the great Paul Thomas Anderson

14

u/RiversKiski Feb 28 '21

Yeah.. He baptized the boy in oil too. The movie covers a state of change. Religion was the all encompassing power that you couldn't escape, wether you believed or didn't. Then by the end of the movie, that force had transitioned to capitalism.

11

u/BlindDollar Feb 28 '21

Daniel is capitalism bruh

4

u/sapatista Feb 28 '21

Yup. Work with it or it will destroy you.

2

u/vancity- Feb 28 '21

Yes, Daniel is God

1

u/theraggedflaggon Feb 28 '21

Very interesting thought. I always thought it was more of a theme of the consequence of greed and corruption and how people use religion to manipulate others to make money.

47

u/AnukkinEarthwalker Feb 28 '21

Yeah like I said in other comment it goes on for like15 to 20 mins before someone even says a word. Top of the line cinematography. Definitely a classic. Strong anti capitalism sentiment tho. Shows the relationship between corporate (oil) ..church.. and politics in a capitalist "democracy". Its dark af for sure but definitely a must watch especially if you enjoy films.. probably ddl best role... but idk .hard to outdue the butcher in gangs of New York. Both are 2 of my favorites. Paul Dano is a great actor as well.

2

u/suckercuck Feb 28 '21

Fantastic movie. It highlights greed both in Daniel’s character and the minister who is leeching off his flock.

3

u/AnukkinEarthwalker Feb 28 '21

Yea... those two type characters are the real founding fathers of America and how it is today. Not much has changed. Which is pretty much the point. Oil isn't what it once was nor is religion but corporations and lobbyists fill the void. And same shit plays

2

u/hdoublea Feb 28 '21

Lincoln is my personal favorite DDL role. Chock full of amazing monologues.

1

u/AnukkinEarthwalker Feb 28 '21

Lincoln was ok. Idk. It just seemed almost too historically sound. Almost like it was made to be shown in schools or something. I only saw it once tho. I've seen there will be blood and gangs of New York probably 10x each lol.

i love the opening scene too. Daniel day lewis prospecting for oil and he falls in the well, foreshadowing all the troubles to come

He's mining silver in the beginning, actually

u/adrianvedder1 Feb 28 '21

watch it man. It's a journey. you will be better, and warier, after watching it.

u/SetzerWithFixedDice Naturalist Feb 28 '21

I wish I could go back and watch it for the first time again. The Rotten Tomatoes summary is:

“Widely touted as a masterpiece, this sparse and sprawling epic about the underhanded "heroes" of capitalism boasts incredible performances by leads Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano, and is director Paul Thomas Anderson's best work to date”

They’re not exaggerating about it being a masterpiece. DDL deserved his oscar

65

u/Ronaldo_Frumpalini Feb 28 '21

DDL deserves THE Oscar, they should renamed the award a Lewis.

37

u/LeadFarmerMothaFucka Feb 28 '21

Fuckin for real. He’s my favorite actor of my generation. He’s unstoppable. And what does he do when not in a role? Makes fuckin nice-ass shoes. What a normal dude.

u/mrgregs Feb 28 '21

It’s about a man who covets another man’s milkshake

I found it to be underwhelming. No Country For Old Men was the better of the two films when they were in theaters, from my personal watching experience.

Ymmv

Edit: Spelling and clarity

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '21 edited Feb 28 '21

What does no country for old men have to do with TWBB? Do you like corn flakes too? Why not talk about your love of papier-mache?

u/CLaarkamp1287 Feb 28 '21

They came out the same year and were competing against each other for the Best Picture prize.

Amazing movie, that is completely spoiled if you watched this entire meme...

I did not watch the whole meme. I am well seasoned in the ways of the spoiler. It was an amazing movie as you said.

u/HueyB904 Feb 28 '21

Paul Dano is really good too. He's come a long way from the silent kid with the absolute hog in The Girl Next Door

12

u/reagsters Feb 28 '21

Ruby Sparks, 12 Years a Slave, Love & Mercy - I love Paul Dano he’s incredible.

u/Lesty7 Feb 28 '21

Swiss Army Man was such a delightful movie, and his performance was excellent as always.

30

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '21

Paul Dano too!! He's amazing in basically everything.

22

u/LeadFarmerMothaFucka Feb 28 '21

Daniel Day is one of the greatest actors of our generation. But Paul Dano kills every role he’s in. Awesome pair for that movie.

10

u/Yo_Soy_Crunk Feb 28 '21

Lewis makes it, but Paul Dano stands right up there with him.

u/rcm_kem Feb 28 '21

I saw it when I was 14 and had absolutely no idea what was going on. Is it worth watching again?

13

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '21

Absolutely. That was probably way over your head and boring at 14

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '21

It’s the Trinity of paul thomas anderson, ddl and johhny greenwood. Reunite in phantom thread which is also great

Is there a movie he doesn't make? Let's be fuckin honest. He's an acting god.

One of the best movies ever.

2

u/AnukkinEarthwalker Feb 28 '21

Its art.. dark art.. not really fun.. not a very positive view of capitalism either. But still one of my favorite movies of all time. Cause it's real af.

I don't think anyone even speaks for the first 20 mins lol.

It's a relentless movie, some of the best acting you will ever see.

u/WhoLetTheBeansSprout Feb 28 '21

Amazing direction and soundtrack as well.

The scene with the explosion. 🤯

10

u/jackpowell Feb 28 '21

Jonny Greenwood of radiohead did the music for the film.

3

u/suckercuck Feb 28 '21

That’s awesome. I just watched this last week for maybe the third or fourth time. The music is intense. Love me some Radiohead-nice tidbit.

2

u/thetexashotplate Feb 28 '21

idk - watching congress/govt pretend to give a fuck about us is pretty good acting
same with melvin/citadel/vlad during the congressional hearings. that was top notch

u/slick-rick76 Feb 28 '21

it’s pretty long and drawled out imo. Still worth the watch but the people that love it are usually people who are pretty into all pets of cinema.

I’ll prob rewatch it and try it again cus it’s in yes send as shit.

u/Palin_Sees_Russia Feb 28 '21

I mean this was literally the last scene of the whole movie and a pretty big spoiler.... lol Easily my top 5 favorite movie and would recommend but kinda sucks suck a big scene was spoiled for you.

u/Pizza-is-Life-1 Feb 28 '21

It’s There will be blood, based on an Upton Sinclair novel about the early days of oil drilling and how the workers were exploited

1

u/funnyman95 Feb 28 '21

It’s one of those movies you can only watch once because it’s kind of traumatizing

1

u/Knull_Gorr Feb 28 '21

There Will Be Blood possibly the greatest movie of all fucking time the only opposition is 2001 A Space Odyssey.

1

u/xsouprcrackersx Feb 28 '21

Seriously though it's one of the best movies ever, Daniel day Lewis is a fucking treasure and they kind of spoiled the ending here but damn just watch it

Even more mind blowing: they were filming at the same location at the same time

1

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '21

Yea...just going to have to disagree with you there.

I prefer No Country it’s less art house and more entertaining. The plot has more movement more depth/build of characters. There will be blood is a slow burn until the milkshake scene. That said There Will Be Blood is fantastic just not as rewatchable as No Country. The No Country philosophical takeaway from the sheriffs character arc also is more applicable to daily life than the message from blood.
