Simply put, one of the greatest performances of all-time from the GOAT. Daniel Planview's evil stems from sheer greed and arrogance, and watching his fall and descent into madness until the very final scene is cinematic magic. PTA's magnum opus.
This is one of my favorite movies that I watch almost every day, like a child. I have probably watched every video on RUclips about this movie, so it was an awesome surprise when I got this notification, thank you!
I still don't understand how this channel is under the algorithm's radar. You put out banger after banger video, and still, RUclips doesn't seem to drink your Milkshake. But trust me, your audience knows ❤
The timing of this video couldn’t be more perfect. I literally just watched this film for the first time during the weekend. Daniel Day-Lewis did a phenomenal job.
My favourite film of all time, I show it to people and spot new things each time I see it, yet this video showed me patterns and details I'd never notice. Tremendous analysis and very well delivered!
I love your channel, each video essay you make has grown my passion for filmmaking and acting. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and share your insights. Just great content overall. P.S. I sent your Substance video to a friend of mine and she loved it.
Nothing has made me happier than to hear that DDL is unretiring from acting and doing another movie. His performances are transcendent and I fully believe he is the best actor working today. You simply cannot top his performances, they’re stunning.
One of favorite movies. And awesome analysis. One scene i really enjoy, is immediately after Plainview is baptized, he whispers something in Eli's ear and you can see Eli's soul leave his body in real time 👻
It’s such a great performance. Throughout the movie Daniel distances himself from people and uses them to his own end; namely success, which could be boiled down so simple and vague, as he has no joy to show for it in the end. Despite the confession showing how he truly feels about the few people close in his life, he casts them out for various erroneous reasons. They’re competitors, they’re fakes, and given that someone did try to con their way into his life with the facade of reality, he’s become a vindictive and bitter old man in the end. He has the castle he worked for, but no happiness to be had. Only blood.
Top 3 movies of all time no doubt . Daniel Day Lewis is electric to watch . Your analysis is always so astute and accurate and makes me realize things I never noticed about my favorite pieces of media . Love the videos man.
As soon as Plainview said his "Im an oil man" speech. This movie became of my all time favorites. I have probably seen it a dozen times and each time over the years there is something new I like about it.
Your channel is the only one where I always like every video instantly. Please continue reviewing movies, there are soo many more you can make content about, and continue doing this for years to come 🙏 your channel will only grow bigger over time, well deservingly
One of my favorite movies, I remember it coming out within a couple years of The Departed, and I just have this association in my head when I hear about either movie. Anyway, this was the first Day-Lewis movie I ever saw and I just remember being terrified of Plainview. Such a masterpiece
The moments I remember is when a character who claimed he was Daniel's cousin, is found out and Daniel Plainview soon dispatches him to a distant shore, (death). He was starting to soften with his cousin. You could tell he really enjoyed the idea of family, but then when the illusion was shattered, we all knew what was coming. The one thing I didn't like was Paul Dano having a twin brother. I originally thought it was the same person, who cleverly came up with a new character to try and dominate Plainview to his will.
Unrelated, but it would be really cool if u analyzed jason alexander as George Costanza. He was nominated for an emmy six times for playing that role. For me, his performance is up there with Steve Carell, Bryan Cranston, Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, etc as one of the GOAT's of comedy performances. His character was supposed be based off of larry david, the creator of Seinfeld but he brought so much nuance and energy to the role, where he basically just stole the show every he scene he was in.
Can you do "How Rami Malek perfected Elliot Alderson", in my opinion is a exceptional performance in Mr Robot. It is well deserved to be analyzed by this great channel.
By far you make the best videos on RUclips. Do you think you will ever make more videos on The Sopranos? I swear you could make a video on almost every character in the show.
I would but HBO copyright claimed all the videos of every show I ever covered this year, so if they don’t want people analysing their shows, I’ll sadly steer clear
One of my favourite movies and i never noticed the physicality or his performance, cool to see that. Also his voice performance, some people have said its similar to Bill the butcher
I find it funny that I know a crew member who worked on There Will Be Blood. He was the Best Boy Electric (2nd top position in the Electric department where they set up lights and electricity for the shoot).
Suggestions: - How Jodie Comer perfected Villainelle - How Robert De Niro perfected Travis Bickle - How Daisy Ridley perfected Rey Skywalker in Star Wars / Fran in Sometimes I Think About Dying - How Adam Driver perfected Ben Solo/Kylo Ren - How Charlize Theron perfected Aileen Wuornos/ Furiosa (Fury Road) - How Anya Taylor-Joy perfected Furiosa - How Marlon Brando perfected Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now - How Lily Gladstone perfected Mollie Burkhart
When this movie came out, it annoyed me to no end when people said Daniel didn’t love H.W. I think H.W. is the only person Daniel ever loved. We don’t know if Daniel has killed more than two people, but the only characters we see him kill are somehow involved with H.W. Henry is because Daniel sent H.W. away to protect Henry, and Eli because Eli exploited Daniel’s grief about separating from H.W. in order to publicly humiliate and get petty revenge against Daniel. We see Daniel threaten and intimidate other people in the story, but the only time he vocalizes an intent to murder (albeit he does not follow through) is when the guy at the other end of the negotiating table keeps saying “so you can be with your boy” in order to force Daniel to close the deal.
I’m not sure I agree with your implication that Plainview enjoys the pain and suffering of other people in general. Eli is more than a special case for him due to their antagonistic relationship throughout the film and Plainview is of course trying to avenge Eli’s treatment of him in the baptism scene. Because of all these elements in addition to his increased isolation, it’s not surprising that Plainview takes particular pleasure in tormenting Eli, but this doesn’t make him a general sadist who would enjoy the suffering of others as you said. Other than that, it’s another remarkable video.
15:14 I never saw it this way. I almost saw it as a coping mechanism, like him having to repeat the words there’s a pipeline is a way of convincing himself that his admission was just a performance, like he was trying to dismiss his guilt
Unrelated to Day Lewis directly but recently I thought about a scenario where James Gandolfini played Daniel Plainview and while I’m willing to admit some things would not work and it would’ve never happened anyway there are so so many scenes that would with Gandolfini as Plainview. Wonder what other people think about this, as Gandolfini is probably the only actor I’d put in Day Lewis’ level and has the same psychological edge of psycho/gentle.
I always thought when the scene towards the end when Daniel and H.W properly fall out and that you're not my son and never loved you and H.W. retorts with I'm glad you're not, and I have none of your DNA in me. I got the impression that they both were lying through their teeth. Also, the scene when he voices his disapproval of the beatings that the father gives to his daughter. It gives the impression that he would intervene if he had to and is not a man to cross.
The only other actor who can hold a candle to him would be Gary Oldman. Also, another masterpiece (No Country for Old Men). Was being filmed in same area as There Will Be Blood
damn it's been such a long time since ive seen this movie...i saw it day 1 in the theaters, and SOMEHOW it was this movie that i learned that my, at the time, fav director PTA, does something that to this day, im not sure how i feel about it---- plays background/theme music throughout a MAJORITY of his films... it was this reason that while i did love this movie when i left that theater, i was a little unsure of where i'd be ranking it on my fav's list. Because for a wide portion of those scenes that you hear the music, Anderson is playing themes that instill anticipation, anxiety, even DREAD, and yet, often doesn't "deliver," for lack of a better word, on those feelings. I guess between the AMAZING trailer, the title of the film, and then this tension being built, i kinda expected a blood BATH of sorts lol... not a horror flick or anything, I just expected maybe some more undoubtedly wicked and villainous things played out by Daniel...of course, he DID do those things, but it's not so obvious upon initial viewing.... I've come to "accept" PT's method with the music in these films (MAGNOLIA is another VERY huge example of this), or i should say finally truly recognized it, said "meh," once i had already seen THERE WILL BE BLOOD, and swiftly just brushed it to the side upon my 2nd viewing of the film.... NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW i can see, feel, appreciate SOOOO MUCH MORE. It's not often that a 2nd viewing of a movie makes you like it THAT much more (when we're not talking about a SHINING or BLADE RUNNER or INCEPTION, ya know, where you "pick up small things, and try to figure out what you know already), but in this case, OMG... between feeling excited to experience DDL's performance again, and knowing that he aint gonna be cashing checks and snapping necks all movie (lol), i loved this movie more and more, even to this day. I feel like it gets better and better... All that said, EXCELLENT job here on Lewis' performance here...great character, greater actor... i just wish you would'v emade this video like 40 minutes lol
Yeaaaah Let's get this video to a lot of views in the first hour so that it gets love from youtube Algorithm bless this video which i liked even before watching it because it's that good Seriously, sometimes i end up pissed off because i can't like it again after watching it, fix that youtube Lots of words lots of engagement, yadda yadda
I've always kinda had a distaste for method actors. It's one thing to practice for a role, but with method actors, it always extends so far that it affects other people. Research is important, but why does "going method" mean self harm and a hostile work environment? Needing to be carried around set (Daniel Day Lewis), giving yourself nicotine poisoning (Benedict Cumberbatch), sending co-stars dead animals (Jared Leto), being "possessed" and having a "spirit conversation" with the dead persons' actual family (Jim Carrey)... The whole point of acting is to put it on for the time necessary, not grafting someone's skin onto yourself, especially when it comes at the expense of everyone around you. I feel like it's also only viable for Big Names or the otherwise wealthy to do, because only those with a huge cushion can take years to practice their job before starting the labor itself. No regular-wage person can do that. No unionized industry would want anyone to have to self isolate and do identity-immolating work for YEARS for no pay. And for me, the "immersion" of Lewis' performances are always dead on arrival. The only thing you ever hear about films like these is about the severity of the actors going method. So the entire time in the meta, I cannot stop thinking about whether x scene was worth it. What an actor put themselves and others through to "achieve" this thing. The flashiness of The Method inherently takes me out of the story because with other movies, I'm not reminded on the way in that the actors, their co-workers were unsafe. I think the more interesting stories (that actually make the whole thing more immersive) are those of actors who are creatives themselves, and want to help develop their character or make on-set suggestions. I love that James Cagney improvised the tap dance down the stairs in Yankee Doodle Dandy. I love that Peter Cushing designed clothes and painted his suggestions for the wardrobe department. Lee Pace (on playing Thranduil), said it best imo- “A part of you does the role for the audience, because it’s no fun rehearsing the role for yourself in your bathroom (laughs). So you want to honor the character that Tolkien wrote, but I also think it’s important to honor your own artistry, and express the character as the character inspires you.”
Well, not really. It's more complicated than that. While psychopathy is not an actual clinical condition, ASPD is. While someone with ASPD who would be classified as a "psychopath" cannot feel embodied remorse, they can still experience cognitive remorse. Also, just because he is callous sometimes does not mean he is always callous; it is very rare for personality traits to never occur without exception. Similarly, people with ASPD can still form emotional attachments; therefore, remorse can still be experienced when those attachments are broken or injured.
DDL gave a great performance that deserves a lot of prais, but hands down the best thing that came from that was Adam Driver on SNL as oil baron Abraham H Pernassis. ruclips.net/video/t7HD2xG92-0/видео.html
Great video. One note: you're referring to the Meisner method, not Stanislavski's
Yup, you’re right! Brain fart- Meisner not Stanislavski
Simply put, one of the greatest performances of all-time from the GOAT. Daniel Planview's evil stems from sheer greed and arrogance, and watching his fall and descent into madness until the very final scene is cinematic magic. PTA's magnum opus.
This is surprisingly easily my pick for the greatest performance in film history.

I still don't understand how this channel is under the algorithm's radar. You put out banger after banger video, and still, RUclips doesn't seem to drink your Milkshake. But trust me, your audience knows ❤
… I see these in recommended all the time
Dude has 400k subs he's not under the radar.
It's called drainnnnnage!!
This channel went from Bastard From a Basket to Oil Man while you weren't paying attention....
The timing of this video couldn’t be more perfect. I literally just watched this film for the first time during the weekend. Daniel Day-Lewis did a phenomenal job.
This is the best youtube channel of all times
My favourite film of all time, I show it to people and spot new things each time I see it, yet this video showed me patterns and details I'd never notice. Tremendous analysis and very well delivered!
DDL together with Philipp Seymour Hoffmann are the top of the top. PSH performance in Master would be a great material for one of your future videos.
Paul Dano was a perfect supporting actor for this film
Thank you so much, my friend. 🙏☺
This is like an early Christmas present.
I love your channel, each video essay you make has grown my passion for filmmaking and acting. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and share your insights. Just great content overall.
P.S. I sent your Substance video to a friend of mine and she loved it.
Thank you! :)
Some really great insights here JaO, you've presented stuff I've never picked up on before.
Great analysis on this performance. I can't lie the film didn't click with me much but his performance IS one of the best I've seen
Nothing has made me happier than to hear that DDL is unretiring from acting and doing another movie.
His performances are transcendent and I fully believe he is the best actor working today. You simply cannot top his performances, they’re stunning.

Your channel is the only one where I always like every video instantly. Please continue reviewing movies, there are soo many more you can make content about, and continue doing this for years to come 🙏 your channel will only grow bigger over time, well deservingly
God damn this movie is so good. One of if not my favorite of all time.
One of my favorite movies, I remember it coming out within a couple years of The Departed, and I just have this association in my head when I hear about either movie. Anyway, this was the first Day-Lewis movie I ever saw and I just remember being terrified of Plainview. Such a masterpiece
Wow. Great observations and presentation here. That was so enjoyable.
This is the greatest performance ever, for me. That it occurs in one of the greatest movies of all time is just pure heaven.
Good stuff, beautiful movie

They apparently only had to do that last minute as the other actor didn’t work as Eli
Still one of my favorite characters. Thank you for making this video.
Commenting here to help the algorithm. Your channel is super underrated and one of the best when it comes to analyzing acting and performances.
Simply the greatest actor of all time and it’s not even close
Fuck yes! I just saw TWBB for the first time this year and I’m obsessed with it. Top 3 favorite movies/characters ever ❤
Daniel Day Lewis is definitely 💯💯💯
Unrelated, but it would be really cool if u analyzed jason alexander as George Costanza. He was nominated for an emmy six times for playing that role.

Awesome vid, man. They always are. Sorry the algo is shittin' on your talents. You deserve top-shelf presentation to all audiences!
Love your content!! Keep making it
One of my favourite movies and i never noticed the physicality or his performance, cool to see that. Also his voice performance, some people have said its similar to Bill the butcher
The physicality of Plainview is a masterpiece in itself. Amazing considering it's the foundation of the performance
I find it funny that I know a crew member who worked on There Will Be Blood. He was the Best Boy Electric (2nd top position in the Electric department where they set up lights and electricity for the shoot).
Thanks for the vid, one of the best channels on RUclips. DDL is the GOAT and it ain't even close.
Paul Dano is just as good. Imo his character is so loathable and subtle.
This is probably my favourite acting performance. I actually find it hard to watch most actors after watching it as it's so good.
Seeing lewis and dano acting off each other is glorious to watch
Just like how with Tony Soprano, it feels like the heavy breathing of Daniel Plainview has it's own lines in script
Suggestions:
- How Jodie Comer perfected Villainelle
- How Robert De Niro perfected Travis Bickle
- How Daisy Ridley perfected Rey Skywalker in Star Wars / Fran in Sometimes I Think About Dying
- How Adam Driver perfected Ben Solo/Kylo Ren
- How Charlize Theron perfected Aileen Wuornos/ Furiosa (Fury Road)
- How Anya Taylor-Joy perfected Furiosa
- How Marlon Brando perfected Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now
- How Lily Gladstone perfected Mollie Burkhart
How philip seymour hoffman perfected capote/lancaster dodd
MARLON BRANDO in APOCALYPSE NOW is one the greatest of all time, scary & motivational at the same time
When this movie came out, it annoyed me to no end when people said Daniel didn’t love H.W. I think H.W. is the only person Daniel ever loved.
We don’t know if Daniel has killed more than two people, but the only characters we see him kill are somehow involved with H.W.

15:14 I never saw it this way. I almost saw it as a coping mechanism, like him having to repeat the words there’s a pipeline is a way of convincing himself that his admission was just a performance, like he was trying to dismiss his guilt
My favorite performance in a movie ever. 2nd is Willem Dafoe in The Lighthouse
Great video.
aw hell yeah
I watch this film 1x a year along with interstelllar and hateful 8
Bravo!
His regular speaking voice is basically the same as his character in Phantom Thread.
Please do consider covering the penguin by Matt reeves 🙏💎 you were one of the few great content creators here on this platform
He was shaking like the devil was coming out of him at that baptism 😂
I don't know how much of the closing in part is due to him or due to the directing
Unrelated to Day Lewis directly but recently I thought about a scenario where James Gandolfini played Daniel Plainview and while I’m willing to admit some things would not work and it would’ve never happened anyway there are so so many scenes that would with Gandolfini as Plainview.

Yo you gotta watch Anora, it has a great character, a really subtle and refreshing one. I’m sure you will like it, it’s a pretty good movie.
I always thought when the scene towards the end when Daniel and H.W properly fall out and that you're not my son and never loved you and H.W. retorts with I'm glad you're not, and I have none of your DNA in me. I got the impression that they both were lying through their teeth.

Daniel Plainview is capitalism incarnate
No one else could have played him
Thank you for analyzing one of the greatest actors of all time.
Could you analyze Jack Sparrow, too?
Hasn’t he only been in like 20 movies
the VAMPIRE
Yeaaaah
Let's get this video to a lot of views in the first hour so that it gets love from youtube
Algorithm bless this video which i liked even before watching it because it's that good
Seriously, sometimes i end up pissed off because i can't like it again after watching it, fix that youtube
Lots of words lots of engagement, yadda yadda
For the algorithm! 🤘 (... or... against it, however the YT gods feel these days...)
Do a video about Light Yagami from Death Note please?😄

Comment!
You can't call someone a psychopath and then acknowledge that they feel remorse. Those characteristics are mutually incompatible.
Well, not really. It's more complicated than that. While psychopathy is not an actual clinical condition, ASPD is. While someone with ASPD who would be classified as a "psychopath" cannot feel embodied remorse, they can still experience cognitive remorse. Also, just because he is callous sometimes does not mean he is always callous; it is very rare for personality traits to never occur without exception. Similarly, people with ASPD can still form emotional attachments; therefore, remorse can still be experienced when those attachments are broken or injured.
@BH-2023 you've confused the terms psychopath and sociopath. Sociopath is commonly used for ASPD.

jk. love this movie, love this character. cant wait to see it
So none of these things happened, it was all just a good movie?
Paul Dano ruined this movie, like he ruins most that hes in
DDL gave a great performance that deserves a lot of prais, but hands down the best thing that came from that was Adam Driver on SNL as oil baron Abraham H Pernassis. ruclips.net/video/t7HD2xG92-0/видео.html
