You guys forgot to add the fact that Daniel beating Eli to death is a parallel to the story of the brothers Cain and Able. where one brother killed the other. That's why Eli keeps yelling out 'we're brothers' before Daniel beats him to death.
Alex Gonzalez Jones correct. Did you also notice that Daniel in the bible was the man who survived in both the hottest furnaces with I believe the hottest oils and a den of lions. Daniel can be seen as anti-daniel of sorts. Very interesting
How is that comparable ? , in cain and able story they have contrasted characters where one is driven by an evil desire and the other is good at heart , whereas in the movie both Elie and Daniel represent pretty much the same characters with slight differences
When Daniel cuts ties with H.W., claiming he never loved him, then there's a flashback to H.W. stealing Daniel's hat and it shows a legitimate bond between them, I lose it every time.
The amount of Daniel defending is ridiculous. Daniel was a terrible father period. “Oh he really did love him” he just HAD to abandon his child!!! No, you dont understand, i loved my baby boy but he broke my window so I HAD to send him to wherever!!! You don’t understand how hard it is to be a parent! I would have no hesitation fucking off my child to boarding school!!! Its cause I love him so dearly!!!
Im sorry your father left you also, but no he does not love you. Daniel did not love his son. He only loved one thing unconditionally, his obsession over the pursuit of wealth
He insulted HW because he needed to cut ties, as HW was going into the oil business. You can see Daniel is broken up about it the next morning in a drunk stupor.
I agree. "Bastard in a basket" is simply an expression of love from the father. I see HW as the villain here for abandoning his adoptive dad and not understanding what he has done for him all this time (even keeping a secret for such a long time is no easy task). The son turned out to be deaf...
Sometimes love is not all you need. The only reason he would have to cut ties is because he's such a selfish narcissist that the thought of sharing anything(in this case business opportunity) with anyone is physically painful to him. So anyone who's not completely on team Daniel can go impale themselves. The only reason he's not the worst person in the entire movie is because he has to share even that with the equally douchy preacher.
You think that his son in the worst person in the movie? Did you even watch the same movie that I did? Daniel was a terrible father, a murderer, and a person who took advantage of anyone who did not know how valuable their land was. Daniel and Eli were extremely similar characters who just used their ablity to be persuasive in different ways. I'd say you might want to rewatch the movie.
You're way off in left field Jordan, he was talking about Daniel. Moving speech though. Back to the OP though, I think this is looking at the movie in a rosey way. I think he legitimately meant what he said and while he might have tried to be a good father, as he became more of a monster he knew his true intentions. Daniel had very little interaction with him and had no reason to be happy with him given he was going to be competition, given the light they painted Daniel in. Him waking in drunken stupor the next morning is just him upset the boy he took as his own would betray him.
Ive seen the movie at least 8 times now and it was on my second last viewing that i noticed that Daniel shed a single tear just before getting up and leaving HW on the train. I believe he truly does love HW but it’s at odds with his ambition. The scene is punctuated by Daniel’s inability to look back at the train as is leaves the station. He’s heart broken over the tough decision he must make. His character is way more complex and nuanced than most reviews give him credit for.
He's probably sad that all the work he put into having his prop and having him around was out the door. If he really loved the kid, like you said, he wouldn't abandon him. He never abandoned him before when he had less resources, why now? Because he was more work than resource for him and the starting the fire was the last straw. Daniel is a sociopath really incapable of loving anybody but was good with the kid in his job as making him look like a dutiful father.
DDL?? 😂😂😂 Cillian Murphy in Oppenheimer is better than his whole career. Screaming and yelling aren’t the highlights of acting. It lies in the subtlety.
@@Americanspy-hn2kw I agree with you. I donot know about PTA's thoughts on capitalism but I do think that many clever people think of capitalism as evil. I think these people donot realise that the comfort they live in to complain about capitalism is provided by capitalism. Capitalism is a direct result of values of liberty, freedom and private property. People who think communism is some form of egalitarian paradise donot know who benefits from such a system and what will happen to the overall welfare of the people in a country under such a system.
That actually is not a bad name for the kid as that was his job to make Daniel look like a decent person who was taking care of his son as a single parent after his wife died which he never had.
There Will Be Blood reminds me of Heart of Darkness. Daniel lives in a land of fantasies which consumes him and he becomes a savage. Daniel thinks he has it all but he does not have anything - he doesn't even have his own mind.
Billo1281 This is an old comment of yours but on the off-chance you see it, why so many times? What do you like about it so much or what draws you to it? Would you say it's your favorite movie? I wanted to watch it for years and finally did so last week and I was just not prepared for what it actually ended up being compared to what I expected so I'm curious what others saw in it. DDL is a god in any production he graces but I really did not get captivated by it the way so many others apparently did and that bums me out.
That last one about Daniel being the devil in the church I’ve never heard before. Good catch. In fact this could also imply with Eli’s representation as a false prophet, and Daniel walking in the church could mean that the devil’s works through these false prophets yet the people don’t seem to notice and are being deceived. This movie is a masterpiece
They completely misunderstood Daniel's relationship with H.W. The key is the private moments between them. Watch them closely and you'll see that Daniel loves H.W. Paul Thomas Anderson has said so himself. As for the 3rd act Daniels deteriorating mental state and perceived betrayal at the the hands of H.W. caused him to say those ugly things.
H.W. is Daniel's only connection to other people. His love for H.W. is genuine, which is what makes Daniel's baptism scene so powerful. There's real repentance when he cries that he's abandoned his boy. However, H.W.'s disability and the estrangement that follows shortly after permanently severs their connection. Daniel can no longer confide in him, or mold him in his own image as he would his son. Instead, after having to kill his false half-brother as well, H.W. becomes a stark reminder of just how isolated Daniel is from everyone else.
Yes, if Daniel had put HW before the money and oil, he could have been a great father. Before the hearing loss you see their connection. Daniel needed a friend and that's what HW was. But after the hearing loss their relationship changes, HW becomes bitter. Daniel's cynicism won't let him own up to his failings as a father
Sometimes if I’m having a bad day I’ll put this movie on to cheer me up! Always does the trick. How could you not be smiling and not have a care in the world when the credits start to roll???
Herman Bailey I know but soon we have over saturation, there is nothing left for them to discuss about the movie, it has been looked in great detail thousands of times.
Also worth a mention regarding the whole "Daniel is a demon" idea is the scene where he's silhouetted against the burning oil rig at night. The mighty flames behind him make him look like he's just emerged from the belly of hell.
I always took it that he really did love his son but was torn apart by the deafening and slowly turned a monster through alcoholism etc. There was a massive theme of absense of family in the movie being a prime motivator for Daniel
Great episode! I absolutely love this movie! I always thought Plainview = new worldy American capitalism, while Sunday = old worldy organized religion.
Hands down the greatest movie critique I've ever seen! Hilarious and insightful. Magnificent. One.of cinemas all-time great films deserved nothing less. Great job fellas!
+Dr Provocative It's really not underrated, as a film student all I here is how American Psycho and Donnie Darko are the greatest films ever and it's so SO annoying.

Sorry unneeded rant I know I just haven't had time to complain about that to anyone else I'm truly sorry.

For the life of me I have watched this movie several times at different points in my life and I can not make sense of it. Everyone talks about what a great epic movie it is and I nust dont get it!
+budgie I think he means "I love no Country for old men, BUT this (There Will Be Blood) should have won best picture. Which I personally disagree with. I love both films, but There Will Be Blood doesn't nearly have really any entertainment value in its deepness, unlike No Country which is still very watchable in it's deep shit.
+Shane Benjamson - Ah, thanks for that clarification Shane. I agree with you, though Blood was a terrific movie No Country For Old Men was even better.
+Shane Benjamson Very well put. As much as I loved There Will Be Blood, it makes my stomach turn, while No Country For Old Men is a much more satisfying, well-rounded watch.
You missed a lot of the complex emotional themes the movie touches upon. Daniel is not exactly the heartless monster you portray him to be. Instead he does have love for his son and even learns to grow attached to his ‘half brother’; however due to his troubled past he’s unable to form bonds and sees “the worst in people”. He’s a man who’s lost faith in humanity, and therefore when he sees that both his half brother and Eli were only using him for their own egotistic reasons he lashes out.
We have a saying in Germany, which goes "An der Spitze ist es einsam" and this one fits perfectly for this movie, because it means that someone, who apparantly has everything (Money, wealth, a large manson) and yet has nothing at all. The more wealth Daniel accumulates, the more paranoid and unscrupulous he gets, and therefore the more friends he loses because all he was caring for was money from the very beginning. And thats why he never feels satisfied and indulges himself in heavy drinking, causing his mental state to deteriorate. So I believe the main meaning of this movie is simple but powerful: Money is not everything, Family and true friends is what really counts.
I love how yall talked about the meaning in the movie's production like the camera angles and such. It reminded me of Every Frame a Painting. Also PLEASE DO THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY
Another thing I noticed was when the man workers first discovered oil in the 1902 scene, the first thing that happens is baby Human Worker starts crying, as if the appearance of the oil upsets him. Then at the end of the movie, H.W and Daniel's relationship comes to an end because of oil. Well done P.T. Barnum.
+Keyser Soze They've also done Akira and Trainspotting. I'd love to see them dive into real film history but they need to consider the breadth of their audience. There are still plenty of American masterpieces worth talking about.
"That's one god damn hell of a show!" - I don't think Daniel is suppose to represent the devil, more of a misanthropic atheist who hates spiritual charlatans (even though he's a monetary charlatan).
At first I was like "Oh god, another fucking annoying RUclipsr doing a fucking schtick" then I watched a little longer. Insightful, concise commentary? Humour that works and isn't overbearing? A genuine interest in the film being discussed? Listen dude; you're alright. I hope you know that. Subscribed.
I feel that Daniel represents the devil in a way, in some moments as you look at him like the scene when the pipe is on fire and the glow on the fire is scene and you look at him as he is hunched over like some demonic imp and also the scene where he is getting baptized and he says give me the blood so I can get out of here, again the devil in holy places
I love all the Wisecrack shows. However, I wish Earthling Cinema would move a little bit more to the serious side and less of the silliness. I know it is meant to be comedic but I just think that it could gain from a little more actual analysis of the films instead of the humor. I realize it's a fine line to walk and not easy to please everyone though.
I disagree that Daniel had no love for his kid. He definitely wasn't father of the year, but there was legitimate remorse for leaving him.
Exactly Paul Thomas Anderson made that very clear with the flashbacks after he disowns his son
I agree with your statement as if you pay attention to the the part where Daniel leaves H.W. You can see a tear fall from Daniels eye.
He cares more about what people think of him doing it then rather feeling sorry himself. At least thats the vibe I got.
@@erickondusky2606 I wouldn't think that one would express worry like that in tears and distress like Daniel did in the film though
@@tommywiseau4709 clearly that broke his bond if there was one up to that point. He had no issue throwing him to the curb after that.

Which I personally disagree with. I love both films, but There Will Be Blood doesn't nearly have really any entertainment value in its deepness, unlike No Country which is still very watchable in it's deep shit.
+Shane Benjamson - Ah, thanks for that clarification Shane. I agree with you, though Blood was a terrific movie No Country For Old Men was even better.
+Shane Benjamson Very well put. As much as I loved There Will Be Blood, it makes my stomach turn, while No Country For Old Men is a much more satisfying, well-rounded watch.
You missed a lot of the complex emotional themes the movie touches upon. Daniel is not exactly the heartless monster you portray him to be. Instead he does have love for his son and even learns to grow attached to his ‘half brother’; however due to his troubled past he’s unable to form bonds and sees “the worst in people”. He’s a man who’s lost faith in humanity, and therefore when he sees that both his half brother and Eli were only using him for their own egotistic reasons he lashes out.
I love this series :D Spectacular work there! Great team with some creativity fueling it!
I remember seeing this movie with my mom. We loved it!
Wow. I loved this. LOVED!! ALL CAPS!
Also, I'd love a Thug Notes/Earthing Cinema Crossover. Maybe Garyx can tell us about those Tralfalmadorian Pranksters.
Not what I expected but I liked it.
plz do "in Bruges"...
We have a saying in Germany, which goes "An der Spitze ist es einsam" and this one fits perfectly for this movie, because it means that someone, who apparantly has everything (Money, wealth, a large manson) and yet has nothing at all. The more wealth Daniel accumulates, the more paranoid and unscrupulous he gets, and therefore the more friends he loses because all he was caring for was money from the very beginning. And thats why he never feels satisfied and indulges himself in heavy drinking, causing his mental state to deteriorate. So I believe the main meaning of this movie is simple but powerful: Money is not everything, Family and true friends is what really counts.
I love how yall talked about the meaning in the movie's production like the camera angles and such. It reminded me of Every Frame a Painting.
Also PLEASE DO THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY
Another thing I noticed was when the man workers first discovered oil in the 1902 scene, the first thing that happens is baby Human Worker starts crying, as if the appearance of the oil upsets him. Then at the end of the movie, H.W and Daniel's relationship comes to an end because of oil. Well done P.T. Barnum.
HEY! I thought you guys were doing Rick and Morty?!
Yup, coming next week!
I am anticipate.
+Wisecrack oh, I can't wait!!
I think I love you!!! Bruh you give the best synopsis!!
0:04 holy shit, there's me!

How can you pop your P.T. Anderson cherry and not do Boogie Nights?
Great video btw

and than proceeded to misquote him.
Fella Johnson
your'e new to this channel arent you?
Explains everything
What a ridiculous concept this channel was 7 years no comments shocking lol
"Give me the BLOOD Eli Give Me the BLOOD and let ME get Away"
I was just writing that lol!!!!!
wow that was a really good take with alot of points i diddnt catch. Im glad I watched. Subscribing.
How about a Hidden Meaning of an Adam Sandler movie for April Fool's?
"People who speak in metaphors should shampoo my croch." -Jack Nicolson
Next do The Hidden Meaning in Safety Last!
Then follow it up with a light romp as you analyze Requiem For a Dream.
+Austen Green
I hope that when they end with modern mainstream american movies, they star doing more old stuff and maybe someday a foreign one
Keyser Soze He has done Oldboy.
The Korean original, I mean.
Austen Green OH FUCK, you got me there. But i dont know i would love a piece of french new wave XD
+Keyser Soze They've also done Akira and Trainspotting. I'd love to see them dive into real film history but they need to consider the breadth of their audience. There are still plenty of American masterpieces worth talking about.
Wow that was very informative in such a short time 👍
could you do the hidden meaning of magnolia?
yes!
I'm glad you only made one joke about Daniel's "DRRAAAIINAGE!" line. Too many people think it's funny when it's actually terrifying.
"That's one god damn hell of a show!" - I don't think Daniel is suppose to represent the devil, more of a misanthropic atheist who hates spiritual charlatans (even though he's a monetary charlatan).
Logic and hard work vs. Mysticism. This is the way I've always interpreted this film.
At first I was like "Oh god, another fucking annoying RUclipsr doing a fucking schtick"
then I watched a little longer. Insightful, concise commentary? Humour that works and isn't overbearing? A genuine interest in the film being discussed?
Listen dude; you're alright. I hope you know that. Subscribed.
Daniel plainview loves the kid.
The shot where he is giving milk for reviving from injuries you forgotten.
I feel that Daniel represents the devil in a way, in some moments as you look at him like the scene when the pipe is on fire and the glow on the fire is scene and you look at him as he is hunched over like some demonic imp and also the scene where he is getting baptized and he says give me the blood so I can get out of here, again the devil in holy places
Wow! Nicely done!
No waaaaaaaaaaay! I made the beginning comments! I think I have a new greatest life achievement!
I have waited so long for this movie to get the "Earthling Cinema" treatment. Thank you Wisecrack!
Do the wolf of wall street.
Capitalism
Next year...
But it's December already so next year is close!! omg got you so bad. #Dadjokes
+Wisecrack you really got him with that joke. wow. classic.
That "abandoned my child" part of this was hilarious.😂
can you do the hidden meaning of the thing?
these are so amazing. keep em comiiiiing!
PLEASE DO NIGHTCRAWLER.
Can't wait for the next episode. One of the best channels/series on RUclips right now.
The jokes in this are terrible.
Like a bag of ham...
brilliant analysis!!
"ego-testical" ahahahaha
Brilliantly Hilarious analysis. However the brilliant vocal work is overshadowed by the fabulousness of the mustache.
I love all the Wisecrack shows. However, I wish Earthling Cinema would move a little bit more to the serious side and less of the silliness. I know it is meant to be comedic but I just think that it could gain from a little more actual analysis of the films instead of the humor. I realize it's a fine line to walk and not easy to please everyone though.
+T0NKA100
Is preventive so it doesn't become pretentious
Finally watched the movie, and I'm really glad I did! Thanks so much you guys.
Please do Django Unchained
Emmanuel Marshall that movie fucking sucked
