Product Description
A sprawling epic of family; faith; power and oil; THERE WILL BE BLOOD is set on the incendiary frontier of Californias turn-of-the-century petroleum boom. The story chronicles the life and times of one Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis); who transforms himself from a down-and-out silver miner raising a son on his own into a self-made oil tycoon. When Plainview gets a mysterious tip-off that theres a little town out West where an ocean of oil is oozing out of the ground; he heads with his son; H.W. (Dillon Freasier); to take their chances in dust-worn Little Boston. In this hardscrabble town; where the main excitement centers around the holy roller church of charismatic preacher Eli Sunday (Paul Dano); Plainview and H.W. make their lucky strike. But even as the well raises all of their fortunes; nothing will remain the same as conflicts escalate and every human value love; hope; community; belief; ambition and even the bond between father and son is imperiled by corruption; deception and the flow of oil.

There will be blood was a sad ride to the edge of insanity cruelty greed and deception masked by the ideals of progress.
A great tale of how not to treat other human beings in the quest for riches power and self preservation.
Epic tale!
The opening scene is set in 1898 and gives us immediate insight into the character of Daniel Plainview (Day-Lewis). We see him working alone, prospecting for oil. It's a physically demanding occupation which is full of danger. One small lapse can cause a severe injury or even death. Plainview falls down a well shaft and breaks his leg, but discovers oil in the process. We then see him crawl backwards as he slowly makes his way into town to register the find. He's one of the most stubborn and driven characters you will ever see portrayed on film.
In 1902, he's working with a group of men, and we are reminded again how dangerous the work is. A tiny mistake results in the death of a man and Plainview adopts his orphaned baby boy.
The story jumps forward several years and we see Plainview and his adopted son, HW, attending a town meeting. Plainview has discovered that the region contains oil and we see him making an offer to extract the oil. His argument is calm, reasonable, and logical. He's quite a salesman. He talks of other offers the town may receive and why his own proposal is the best solution for everyone. We are given the impression that he knows what he's talking about and it's difficult to resist his offer.
When Plainview is visited by Paul Sunday (Dano), the main part of the film begins. Paul offers to reveal the location of land rich in oil and he negotiates a price for the information. Plainview visits the town and finds that the information is accurate. He begins buying up all the available land.
The film contains a power struggle between Plainview and Eli Sunday (also played by Dano). Eli becomes Plainview's enemy immediately by negotiating a higher price for his father's ranch than Plainview expected to pay. Eli is also the town's priest and he seeks power and recognition at every available opportunity. Plainview sees him as a fake and doesn't seem to have any religious beliefs of his own, but he's forced to bow to Eli's wishes on several occasions.
I've barely touched on the plot, but I won't reveal any more. This is a sprawling story spanning several decades. It's one of the most intense character studies that I've ever seen. You'll see how Plainview relates to other people and his adopted son. He's a ruthless businessman and it's dangerous to cross him. In one scene, we hear his honest thoughts on society:
"I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people."
That last sentence is spoken with irony, but Plainview makes it clear that he understands his own true character. As the story progresses, we see what obsession and hatred can do to a man when it's maintained over a long period of time.
My knowledge of film isn't as deep as you would expect for someone of my age. It's a relatively new obsession in my life. However, I believe that Daniel Day-Lewis delivers the best acting performance I have ever seen. I didn't doubt for a moment that he was a bitter, obsessed, driven man, capable of doing anything to bring him closer to his goals. Day-Lewis is in every scene and the film wouldn't have had the same impact without his astonishing performance.
The technical aspects of the film are also superb. Jonny Greenwood's unusual score is particularly effective. One of my favorite moments happens during a drilling accident when the percussion increases in tempo as the scene unfolds. The cinematography is breathtaking at times. There's an early scene in which Plainview and HW approach the crest of a hill and the distant landscape is revealed. It's one of several moments of extreme beauty in the film.
If the film has a fault, I would say that the final 20 minutes don't quite match the quality of the rest of the story. This closing sequence still works, and contains a few memorable moments, but the first two hours are close to perfect.
If you enjoy character studies that aren't afraid to take the time to tell a story, There Will Be Blood might be your kind of film. If you need action and an upbeat conclusion, then it's probably not for you.
In 2007 I pre paid for my oil and did a budget plan with a local company, my rate was $2.59. On May 1st 2008 I was sent my new contract to lock into the a rate of $3.84 which I had to return by May 30. On May 22, 2008 I received another letter saying they had sold out of oil in record time and my contract was void and they would send out new information. On June 3, 2008 I received the letter stating I could lock in for $4.29 a gallon, for the avg I need that is $326 a month and $3,586.000 a year. And I have a new house and don't use that much heat in comparison to others. Oh, before arriving home to get the letter in the mail I stopped to fill up my gas tank at over $4 a gallon. I've just set the stage for some real life horror or satire depending on how you see the glass. Paul Thomas Anderson knowingly or unknowingly creates a character in Plainview that can be used as a metaphor to mock the ridiculousness or our current state or to show the true horror of it. As for the title in a revolution there is usually blood. Either way nobody is packing up the family and moving to Beverly because we couldn't afford the gas it would take us to get there.
Another horror film just in theory it reminded me of (again only in theory) is the highly criticized The Amityville Horror for it's being based on a true story. Ghosts or not that family's financial fears are real and hit home.
MY IDEA:
I read an article that stated that Nascar is suffering because these die hard fans usually travel all over to see the races but with large vehicles and what not they cant' afford it. So here it is. The biggest gas guzzlers have to be race cars, so what if Nascar boycotted itself. Went on strike. Those guys make pretty decent money and their fans are die hard. More people might watch Sportscenter then the news and it plays about 20 times a day and each time would cover such a story. Perhaps maybe just a well known well off racer. It's a theory which I'm sure someone could poke a ton of holes in. I don't have the answers I'm just throwing out ideas.

The reason was that I found it too long, two and half hours, with not much interesting scenes and dialogues.
But somehow, Daniel character clung on my head.
And in recent years my interest in Psychology grow huge.
Then I wanted to re-watch it.
And that was a perfect judgement.
The reason for that is that Daniel character represents the modern personality sickness in a so subtle form.
- He wants to be rich more than anyone around him, and he does not want to deal with anybody.
- He does not give a damn about people. They are just tools, means for him to reach his own goals.
- He hates everyone.
- He is angry inside.
- He is envious inside.
- He believes everyone can be manipulated.
- He does not have a faith, but he can be Christian, can be Muslim, or a Jew at a finger snap, no problem.
- Same goes in politics, he can be leftist, rightist, feminist, environmentalist, communist, BLMist, racist.. you name it..
Bottom line is that whatever he choose to be should be serving his grandiosity among others.
- But in the mean time he wants to love people, and to be loved. Deep inside he is empty, longing for all those feelings.
He wants to fill his emptiness with a normal human being, but that is something he can not do it.
That is not his nature, so he is in a continues suffering state.
Another great sphere of the movie is that you hardly notice these personality traits on Daniel for the first half of the movie.
And this is exactly about these psychos in reality; deception.
In the first half of the movie, Daniel appears like a poor countryman man striving to be a self made millionaire.
But his dialogues, his facial gestures, his body language are so subtle in presenting the modern psychopath I described above.
Daniel starts his own oil drilling adventures in late 19th century in New Mexico.
One of his workers dies in an accident. And he adapts his son, H. W.
Daniel is also single.
Viewer feels the oddness of this adaptation because Daniel is not type of man who has empathy, care for anyone.
I think this is one of the best part of the story, because viewer is always kept in a suspicion on true character of Daniel.
And answer to this adaptation comes at the end of the movie, may be in the best scene, and dialogue of the movie.
It is the best articulation of the Daniel's psychopath.
Movie goes on with Daniels rising about his Oil business together H. W. by buying some poor and religious farmers' land in California.
Although movie concentrated on Daniel, in my view, it takes a twist after half of it concentrating on preacher of the village church, Eli.
Eli is the son of the farmer from whom Daniel bought the land.
Eli asks for money for the church, he wants to have a bigger, better church.
Though Daniel hates Eli's money ripping of him for Church, he still does all those payments.
Even in in his dealings with Christian farmers, he comes to a point he gets baptised and confesses his sins.
Deception is his normal part of life.
But movie, portrays the Eli no less deceptive and sick than Daniel.
This Paradoxical appearance of sick minds of Daniel, and the Preacher is so captivating..
It is a social paradox between "good" and "evil".
And both are suffering inside themselves, their paradoxical sick personalities.
Both characters of Daniel, and Eli dominates the movie.
Daniel Day-Lewis, and Paul Dano casting these characters are magnificent.
Si vous n'avez pas vu le film ne lisez pas ce qui suit !
L'émergence du pétrole et le mythe du self-made man sert de toile de fond à la confrontation de deux manipulateurs qui se reconnaissent comme tel. D'un coté, le pétrolier Daniel Plainview qui utilise son enfant adoptif pour acheter des terres et des gisements ; de l'autre, Eli le pasteur prédicateur grand guignol qui rallie les consciences par ses prêches enflammés. Tous deux ont soif d'argent et de pouvoir.
Les hommes sont des outils pour le pétrolier y compris sa propre famille. Son ascension sociale est inversement proportionnelle à ses relations aux autres. L'ouvrier qui meurt au fond du puits de pétrole lui lègue un enfant. Quelques années plus tard, cet enfant amadoue les fermiers dont il souhaite acheter les terres. Suite à son accident, le pétrolier l'éloigne. L'enfant le gêne et ne peut lui être d'aucune utilité dans la gestion de ses affaires. Surgit alors un second membre de sa famille (ou déclaré comme tel), le frère, venu de nulle part. Ce dernier l'épaule dans son projet de pipeline. Mais sitôt le contrat signé, l'usurpateur est démasqué et éliminé sans sentiments aucun.
La scène de la baignade est magnifique dans sa manière de célébrer l'accomplissement de ce projet insensé et de décrire l'immense solitude du pétrolier. Les deux sentiments l'envahissent et le submerge à l'image des vagues.
Le prêcheur est l'instigateur de l'extension du champ pétrolifère de Plainview. Lors de l'achat de la ferme, malgré le prix demandé par Eli, Plainview le paie une bouchée de pain, loin de la valeur véritable du gisement. Pour sa seconde entrée en piste, il pense tenir les rennes. Le pétrolier le manipule une seconde fois. Pour l'inauguration du derrick et la mise en exploitation, Plainview sabote les plans du prêcheur débutant qui lui aurait permis d'asseoir son importance naissante dans la communauté des fermiers. Le rappel de la promesse de don du pétrolier à son église lui fait mordre violemment la poussière. Le baptême du pétrolier est l'occasion de lui rendre ses coups. Mais Plainview obtient ainsi l'accord de passage du pipeline sur les seules terres qu'il ne possède pas. Jamais Eli, le soit disant « homme de Dieu » ne parvient à manœuvrer le pétrolier. Il conserve toujours une carte d'avance.
Plainview est un solitaire dévoré par l'ambition. Il ne peut s'encombrer des autres fussent-ils sa famille. Dans sa vaste demeure vide, symbole des sommets financiers qu'il désirait plus que tout, sa monstruosité apparaît pleine et entière, sans masque. Il renie son fils adoptif. Le fils rejeté quitte sans amour ce père froid et calculateur au soir de son existence. L'irruption du prêcheur, dans une ultime tentative maladroite et désespérée d'utiliser Plainview à son profit (financier), est son chant du cygne. Après tant d'années, la terre demande réparation pour le fluide poisseux extrait de ses entrailles : c'est le sang de l'homme qui étanche sa soif. La démesure de la maison du pétrolier devient étriquée face à l'ignominie du personnage.
Pour incarner Plainview, un acteur capable de tout était nécessaire : une présence physique massive évidente dans la scène d'ouverture, une capacité à l'exagération sans tomber dans le grand guignol et une posture glaçante et malsaine distillée de façon graduelle au long du film. Daniel Day Lewis possède tout cela. C'est un monstre d'interprétation. Aucun autre acteur ne semble pouvoir embrasser un tel rôle. Il ne joue pas, il est. Son Oscar est une évidence pour saluer sa prestation. Saluons aussi l'interprétation de Paul Dano dans le rôle d'Eli qui tient tête sans peine à l'acteur anglais.
La mise en scène de P. T. Anderson est moins ostensible que celle de ses réalisations précédentes (BOOGIE NIGHT, MAGNOLIA). Cette sobriété formelle magnifie la photographie et rend la part belle à ses acteurs. Les scènes nocturnes sont exceptionnelles dans leur composition. L'utilisation de la lumière témoigne d'une grande maîtrise. La scène aquatique 'point charnière déjà évoqué- est leur exact contraire. La lumière y est éclatante, les couleurs sont brûlées, sans pareil dans le reste du film. Cela donne toute sa force et son originalité.
L'utilisation de la musique d'Arvo Pärt, compositeur estonien, et des Fratres (dans leur version de 1992 pour violon) en particulier véhicule ce petit supplément génial à la mise en image. Cette musique lyrique et étrange à la fois apporte une profondeur adéquate au film (scène de l'accident du garçon). Elle sera habilement mariée au concerto pour violon de Brahms utilisé lors du générique final.
Du cinéma américain dans sa toute sa complexité et sa magnificence : un chef d'œuvre.
Oscar 2008 du meilleur acteur.
Espérons une édition Blu-ray à la hauteur du film !
Je mets pourtant 5 étoiles pour inciter à aller le voir, car il vaut le déplacement. Pour ma part le blu-ray suffit, il est de bonne facture.
Si le film est bon, c’est qu’il est porté par deux acteurs de talents et un réalisateur qui a su mettre en valeur la psychologie de ses personnages comme soutien à la trame de l’histoire. DDL mérite son oscar pour son interprétation.
L’histoire est faustienne et sert de prétexte au messianisme des deux principaux personnages, tous les deux des possédés. L’un faux dévot à Dieu mais vrai dévot à son ego, et l’autre vrai dévot à son ambition mercantile dévorante magnifiée par son dieu pétrole. En fait de dieux, ces deux âmes maudites n’en venèrent qu’un : Mammon.
On ne peut s’empêcher de voir dans ce film une dénonciation acerbe des deux moteurs de l’Amérique d’aujourd’hui, qui corrompent les âmes et les hommes : la religion et le capitalisme. Le choix d’un pétrolier ne doit pas être anodin quand on sait combien les grands pétroliers d’aujourd’hui pourrissent la société et détruisent la planète.
Je déconseille fortement ce film à toute personne de mois de 18 ans, ce n’est vraiment pas « un spectacle pour toute la famille ». La violence des mots et des actions est omniprésente et la noirceur du film quasi diabolique ne donne aucun espoir pour la salvation des âmes du genre humain. Dans le fond, on en ressort aussi tendu qu’après avoir vu « No country for an old man ». Bon mais pas divertissant et encore moins relaxant.
