There Will Be Blood

2007

Oil country California, early century: a self-made prospector named Daniel Plainview acquires land from locals who don't yet understand what they're sitting on, staging his young son as a prop for respectability while he works. The opposition is a local preacher, Eli Sunday, whose grip on the community proves harder to buy off than the acreage. Paul Thomas Anderson builds the film as a two-man contest stretched across decades, paced like a slow pressure system — long passages of near-silence against eruptions of operatic confrontation. Daniel Day-Lewis plays Plainview as a man whose contempt for other people has become indistinguishable from his drive, and the film's structural wager is that watching him accumulate and corrode is enough.
