it is boring. i watched that shyt when it came out cause of the hype it got. one of the most boring and difficult movies i've ever seen to get through. shyt was basura. cac type movie. i doubt any black folks were in it. and i doubt any black person enjoyed it.

:rudy: This might be a case of a troll possibly trolling, but this is one the reasons I made this thread. I need brehs to open their mind to this movie. I too was like I am not watching some period piece bullshyt with a bunch of cacs. But then I watched it, thought it was engrossing for the full 2 hours.

no trolling. i actually was also looking forward to watching the movie given the hype. i was disgusted after watching it. thought it was absolute garbage.

The bigger point is Plainview and his drive. Its kind of a Walter White type of deal in a way.

Plainview is the personification of American Manifest Destiny. He takes what wants w/ no remorse.

IMO, Eli is too, but he's the inverse, a con-man version of Plainview. He tricks people into giving him what he wants by manipulating their guilt.

Yep both had their reasons. Mostly personal satisfaction. Eli tried to play the game, he just sold people on their beliefs and guilt. Plainview sold em on dreams

just rewatched. movie is :whew: such powerful performances. "I'VE ABANDONED MY BOY!!!!" :to: fantastic soundtrack too

Incredibly quotable film

"What is this? Why don't I own this?"

And yeah, Jonny Greenwood is pretty awesome. He scored this and The Master for PTA...and he's doing Inherent Vice right now.

finally saw this.

wow, I'm sorry I do not understand the hype. I thought it was awful. Slow, tedious, and confusing.

Great performances, but I don't think I will ever want to watch this one again.
