It is not perfect nor is any other film, but so far in the history of film, There Will Be Blood is the most perfect yet made. The balance of ever single aspect of filmmaking into one continuous stream of greatness is unmatched. Contrarians hate it because it is so great and and the uninitiated don't like it because it's moment to moment display of craftsmanship flies above their heads. And if it is your favorite film ever and you have seen it countless times, you still, lack the perception to appreciate it's incisive power.
Please prove me wrong or show me a film better.
Milkshake memes are welcome but please take me deadly serious.
I love you Sup Forums (I'm drunk) and have been here half a decade but please take me serious and let's have a serious discussion.
There Will Be Blood is the greatest film yet made.
Tyler Lee
It was until Man of Steel was released
Xavier Taylor
Yes, you're drunk. Go to sleep, tomorrow the hangover will be strong. And watch more films
Adam Fisher
“No!” is the first word spoken in There Will Be Blood, and it should be the last said in response to Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest pretend epic.
Alexander Cooper
DDL is a hack and this shit was trash kys
Ryder Lewis
I have seen everything, all countries/languages/decades/directors. I've seen it all.
Anthony Rogers
why friend
Austin Baker
the first word is "ladies"
Daniel Torres
And there are almost no ladies in the film.
Daniel Moore
>it's another Sup Forums claims X Is objectively the best without technically elaborating why
Easton Martin
the vast majority of people on Sup Forums are not capable of discussion sadly This boards saving grace is that it's funny
Luis Jackson
you willing to sit and let me deconstruct it?
i will, but first do you have any negatives for it?
plenty of older women and also Mary Sunday is paramount to the H.W./Daniel relationship, but the phallocentrism is a prime theme to the Industrial productive plot
Bentley Mitchell
this thread is a meager attempt to return to a so-called 'patrician' discussion of a great film, like rare threads used to be years ago
Levi Ortiz
you're not helping, Sup Forums is shit because you're shit
Logan Wright
I don't care
Luke Reed
ok not him but what was the point of the "not brother" showing up? I get he was trying to use DDL for his riches, but is there a deeper point with him? Cause he felt like screen filler, and DDL kills him like nothing and bam he never existed and he carries on like whatever. Maybe I'm missing something, and I hope I am.
Lucas Adams
its not even good enough to warrant a rewatch
Christopher Young
the 'not brother' was a surrogate platform to analyze Daniel himself, to open a possibility of a warm humanity under the cold violent capitalist, make him remember a truth to his youth and innocence having a connection to a family and past beyond his violent ego of moment and greed, to remind him he is more human than the man who sees nothing more than what he uses people in the moment for and the lie and betrayal returned him to his basic form of violence and killed the imposter appropriately
Daniel truly wished he was his brother, he himself called it "refreshing" but I call it redeeming
Ayden Sanchez
Plainview is a product of his environment. You thought until that point that he's just an asshole because he feels like it, but when the brother reveals himself you realize it's the world that's greedy, and Daniel is just good at beating them to it.
Jack Powell
read my OP, it went over your head friend, that or you're memeing :)
Oliver Gray
your shitpost begs to differ, dumbfuck
Dylan Evans
>Anderson is currently working on a drama about the London fashion industry in the 1950s, which will star Daniel Day-Lewis in his first acting role since Lincoln in 2012.
Why is PTA and DDL wasting their talents on some crap about fashion?
Sebastian Flores
What's wrong with Mad Men: The Movie?
Easton Gutierrez
I don't care
Isaiah Reyes
Fashion is questionable and the 50's may remind of The Master, but DDL in a English accent in a PTA will be quite unique. Also since the angry DDL has been done in TWBB what will his performance motive be? Happy? Calm? Could this be a comedy? I'm fucking hyped either way.
Jordan Peterson
Why does the main character become a silly crazy fucker at the midpoint? He was fair normal at the beginning. Yes I know his kid became deaf, but the actor was eating the entire scenery the 2nd half.
Easton Martinez
First word is when he's in the hole and he finds the rock spits on it and says "there she is"
I don't even like this movie and I know
Oliver Thompson
wow thanks guys
Elijah Nguyen
that's true it was muffled and unscripted but the first 'true' dialogue starts in the Oilman monologue
Aiden Martinez
I would argue he was the same "character" the entire film but the increasing intensity of the conditions surrounding him further his malice, any particular scene you want to cite?
Joshua Fisher
faggot and pleb
Ian Hernandez
i like boogie nights better
Anthony Diaz
profound, explain further friend?
Brandon Miller
You can't understand this movie unless you are over 40 and owner of a milkshake factory
