I'll check it out today. The last good movie I watched recently was, "I saw the devil". I doubt it'll be as good as that but hopefully i enjoy it
I just watched 'There Will Be Blood".
- Thread starter WakandanPride
- Start date
I’ll take this over I saw the devil any day of the week but that’s just one mans opinion. Like I said for my money, this is the best flick of last decade
You listed Spiderman 3 over Ratatouille and Eastern Promises and Bourne Ultimatum.

This.
I've watched and/or reviewed many films in my life....including those that AFI listed as the best ever, and I legitimately can't name many that I've loved more or thought were better overall than There Will Be Blood. Day-Lewis was absolutely hypnotizing as Plainview. He was strong in Lincoln, but TWBB may be the best he's ever been.
The Devil's Advocate

Yo this movie is dope. I've watched it 6 times at least! 
The main character's greed. The only other movie where I saw the same level of focus was "the perfume". It's like both movies focus on a particular aspect of what it means to be a human that desires growth.
Although the perfume is a little less enthralling.

I just watch this movie again based off this thread....
So many complexities to even write about, I wrote an earlier post about him not loving his son, I think he had affection for son which is why he drunk so much in old age(he drunk alot regardless , but no drunken stupor levels) and even had a sign language translator.
I think the biggest part that's not explored is that money is the rout of all evil and the rise of capitalism to make it in America, not ideals( even though capitalism has always been about that), from his son trying to start his own company, the Old man bandy's grandson moving to Hollywood, the pastor at the end speaking on radio ( false fame) and willing to switch up ways to earn more money.
This movie showed the complexities of man and they ways we justify our bigger dreams to realize money isn't truly worth it....

Loved DDL more than the movie itself.

That’s how I felt too
Capitalism corrupts everything and everyone. Eli Sunday’s character showed this the most.

Definitely, Eli's character is the same as DDL, they just go about there ways of achieving fame/money in different ways,
Eli ways of preaching are remisicient of pastors way of preaching during the great revival after the civil war( preaching for fame and grandeur)
DDL ways of of achieving money was remisicient to Rockfeller( standard oil referenced throughout the movies) and Andrew Cargenie (cut throat business man) not the man actually portrayed today
Movie does an excellent job of portraying the evilness of man in the rise of the 20th century, that trusting a man for his word was no longer a way to do business....
most of DDL and PTA movies I've seen are character study/driven films rather than plot driven and this throws viewers off. If you go in knowing what you are about to watch you'll appreciate it more.
