You are in luck Mike! Read the book Cinema Speculation. It was recently written by Quentin Tarantino and is ALLLLL about his opinions on different films and his take on the history of cinema and his influences. The entire thing is like this voiceover. Enjoy!
Paul dano sucked in this movie. He’s the only bad thing about this movie. Quentin said it himself, he did not care for Paul Dano’s acting. And that was my opinion before I even heard it from Quentin’s mouth.
Anderson actually halted a day of production of no country for old men due to his stunt with the oil fire, as both films were shot not far from each other and the smoke made its way to the no country set
They were shot at the same time and place... The filming of There will be Blood interfered with No Country for Old Men by filling the air with smoke from the oil derrick fire!
Probably bc the first line of dialogue isn't until over 15 minutes into the film. I always thought that set the tone for me. I didn't really know what the movie was about when I say down to watch, I prefer it that way. It immediately put me into this like visual mood where I was taking in every single detail. My brain was on overdrive thinking everything was there on purpose bc... it had to be. If you're not going to talk, then your cinematic better be talking to me. So, my brain was in overdrive, I was paying more attention than normal, and then lastly, when I'm watching something like that, I'm looking for an introspective journey and boy oh boy is there one. So, this is a top tier movie and yeah, took me to a dark place outta the gate too.

@@salgamate13 Call me warped. I LIKED Plainview. I can't claim to have approved of all his actions, but I understood and even sympathized with them. That's the genius of Daniel Day-Lewis's portrayal here.
Koyaanisqatsi has no dialogue, it's more like a visual documentary, but I can still remember about 20 minutes in realizing that there has been no dialogue and this wasn't going to be a conventional movie. It's not your typical film, but it did release in theatres and is worth watching for people who appreciate the potential of the visual medium.
Once Upon a Time in the West One of the reasons that made Sergio Leone's cinema great was the way he managed to use sounds and music to immerse the viewer in the scene, furthermore in this film it is even more evident in the protagonist's moments of catharsis. Leone always asked Morricone to prepare the music for his films, and this happened before filming even began, Leone did not edit the film with the music, he shot it based on those sounds. I would like to think that Paul Thomas Anderson studied the cinema of Sergio Leone and applied some of these characteristics very well in his cinema.
Came to mention 'Once upon a time in the west'....saw somebody beat me to it, gave that person a like and will still say 'Once upon a time in the west'.

We watched this in high school in movie appreciation class and my teacher literally made me love cinema because of the way she taught me to watch this movie.
People underestimate how much a well-explained, well-appreciated movie can be life-changing. I was 14 or 15 when I was in a geography class. The teacher put on Dante's Peak (Pierce Brosnan volcano disaster film). He kept pausing and brainstorming us for the various aspects of science the specialists did and weeks later it appeared on a test. 16 years later I am a geologist with a PhD.
Mr. Ryan Bailey at muhlenberg county high school year 2013-2014. He taught English and Bible as literature and a film studies class. Took Bible as literature first and it was like a life changing experience the way he taught the Bible with no bias and so much interest. He didn’t tell us anything ab his beliefs until the last day of school 😂. But his movies class was the best, like you said we would watch and pause multiple times to discuss. But once he turned it back on you better not make a single noise. He was soooo strict ab keeping every fiber of your focus on the screen. If someone spoke during the film they’d be given a packet and put at a desk all alone in the hallway to finish.
My favorite performance of any actor ever. Every time I watch, I notice a little nuance from DDL that I never picked up on before. Dano is phenomenal as well. They have me totally engaged from start to finish.
@@bingobongo1615 Art is supposed to move you and make you feel something. Not everything is meant to be bright and cheerful. Those who expect as such are usually quite juvenile.
There will be Blood was sheer genius. Just amazing. The whole movie from first frame to last. I've seen it countless times and always see something new. Every single thing fires on all cylinders. To hear my favorite director of all times talk about its Greatness is amazing to hear.
@Bob-hz6fp to me, Daniel Plainview is a monster in human form. He's like Dracula. The opening scene he's shrouded in darkness looking for the one thing that makes him happy and gives him purpose, which is oil. Oil is his life force. Like blood is to Dracula. He hates people and his sole purpose is to find enough oil so he can become rich and powerful enough to separate himself from society forever. He uses everyone around him, including his own son, to accomplish this goal. Plainview lies to every person whose sitting on oil and promises them great things and delivers on none of it. Its all lies to seperate these people from the wealth that belongs to them and leave them with nothing. When his son gets hurt, he can't care less and attends to the oil first. His son second. When the son becomes a burden, he sends him away. Plainview completely rejects God and anything else that isn't oil. He finally accomplishes his goal and becomes an alcoholic recluse. His son wants to go off on his own and be his own man, and his father takes massive offense and declares him competition and no better than anybody else, even he raised him from a baby and is his father. Plainview is incapable of loving anybody. The preacher comes to him desperate and questioning his own faith in God. The preacher is willing to renounce God and call him a superstition just to get at some of the oil Plainview has been living off of so he can live a life of status and wealth as well. Plainview exposes his hypocrisy and then makes a good on a promise to bury him under the ground figuratively by killing him because he hates him and what he really stands for, which is ultimately nothing. The music and cinematography all serves the purpose of driving these points home and nothing else. I could write forever on this topic but I tried to keep it short.
@@jandro8370 i just watched the movie for the first time last night, i knew there was a simple point to the film, but i could not figure it out for myself. your comment makes perfect sense and makes me appreciate the movie outside of the great acting and camera work
@cshepard09 he's like a vampire kinda. Like how Dracula needs blood to survive, Plainview needs oil. Not so much to survive but because he hates people and he wants to make enough money to lock himself away from everyone. He accomplishes that and just completely gives up on trying to be apart of the human race. Tells his son to F off, that he never loved him, bustard from a basket. Makes the preacher say there is no God because the preacher forced him to say there was one when he never believed that. Then kills him. U hear the title and think this movie is gonna be bloody and it's not but I think the oil is the blood for Plainview.
@@SenorJuan2023First time I watched it I enjoyed some parts but overall felt slightly bored and at the end wish I'd watched something else. Second time I saw it (wasn't really planned) I was engrossed. It felt like I more naturally saw what the movie was going for...now I return to this movie every so often and it's just dripping with quality and meaning. The character of Daniel Plainview is quality itself. The antagonism between Daniel and Eli is fascinating. Anyways, I second your idea about a second watch.
@@SenorJuan2023Also, I'm not one to really like stories about unlikeable people, to the point where I'll many times dislike a movie/book/show that's really popular and well-liked that happens to be about unlikeable people. And this movie makes it through that wall for me.
The scene where Daniel Day Lewis' character slaps around Paul Dano's character in the oil pit was filmed one day. The following day they filmed Dano's character slapping Daniel Day Lewis' character in the church. This was done so Dano wouldn't hold anything back for a more realistic scene.
Saw this for the first time yesterday. It is the greatest performance by an actor I have ever seen. Daniel Day Lewis is an absolute power house. I couldn’t take my eyes off him the whole way through. Paul Dano was also amazing. What an incredible movie!
Drainage! Drainage, Eli, you boy. Drained dry. Here, if you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw. Watch it. Now, my straw reaches acroooooooss the room and starts to drink your milkshake. I... drink... your... milkshake! I Drink it up! Did you think your song and dance and your superstition would help you, Eli? I am the Third Revelation! I am who the Lord has chosen!
He 100% made the right choice going with Travolta. Travolta’s presence makes you watch him. DDL playing Vincent would’ve made ALL of his scenes a yawn fest.
Would be cool, if Tarantino made another pulp fiction but with different casting. (Maybe this will be the future of cinema, btw. I mean why not? Why should a director make one movie per script. There are no rules in art)
@@SkyNetGeneral- well from my standpoint it is, everyone I talk to around me can’t stand it and its so surprising to hear. That’s why I say it’s so underrated.
@@SkyNetGeneral-Pulp Fiction is in no way a commercial movie. It's a very unorthodox style of movie making and storytelling that wasn't popular back then. Also it was Tarantino's second movie, very few people heard of him at that time, people cared less about who the director was back then anyway. You're either young or completely ignorant or you're just trolling
I don't know about the rest of the world, but for me this film is my favorite. The tempo, the script, DDL delivers a monster performance and Dano also. I absolutly love this film
You think he is just an angry dad for the first time that the son is leaving. Then the second goes around how plotting he was and that he did it for the purpose of having a family image.
When i first saw it... My god, the ferocity of dan day lewis... I really thought he is going to kill that boy... But then i saw one video explaining how movement of camera made it more visceral ot first hand experience.. No doubt what dan day does os gold but it was also accompanied by equally good director who knows the craft.... Shame it did not get best picture or best director oscar...
Hands down the greatest performance I've seen on film, also great shout out to johnny greenwood for the soundtrack , I loved it the first time I heard it
The guy who worked at Blockbuster looked at me funny when I bought this on DVD the day it came out. Even asked if I'd seen it. I was like "Saw it in the theater." I think he thought I thought it was a mindless action movie of something. He was very confused.
The percussion of the score of this scene is incredible. Starts simply, then grows into a cacophony of disjointed chaos that eventually settles into rhythmic clarity, perfectly aligning with the storytelling.
Very underrated. Pure Americana. My favorite scene is the tycoons v Daniel Plainview. As well as DP v the small town he swindles. He’s honest, a thief, a businessman, a opportunist, hard worker and a demon all at once.
@@Justino2030 it's not a hidden gem. It's been widely distributed, won two academy awards, has two of the greatest talents in acting, and was directed by one of the most accomplished and recognized directors of this generation.
This movie is a masterpiece in my opinion. Daniel Day Lewis epic acting and the way he talks. It's hard to classify an accent. All the actors were excellent. Great movie and one you can definitely watch again and again.
Every time Quentin talks about an anderson film you can hear the envy spewing out. Quentin was always jealous of the artistic delivery in boogy nights….
He's got nothin to be jealous of, especially after making Inglourious Basterds. They're just different vibes - Scorsese shouldn't be jealous of Kubrick either.
I watch this once a year. I feel like this movie is a close friend or relative. I take comfort in the sheer weight of DDL's acting, the music, and the cinematography. This is a complete masterpiece.
Quentin being one of not only the best directors of all time but being an extremely critical CRITIC of film, we should actively be listening to and agreeing with his opinions on film. If he looks up to PTA, so should we. Thats why PTA is the best. Hes having the best of the best give him his flowers, thats why you should at the minimum respect what Anderson does in his films.
The movie is such a in-depth examination of determination, insecurity, focus, loneliness, inability to trust, greed, inability to love, inability to share life, passion without compassion, deep resentment, anger and hate. Clear message about religion and its affects on a community. The movie show how resentment & insecurities can be driving force where a man suffers in his own skin and only in peace and the only remedy is control through wealth.
I'm obsessed with this movie! Seen it about 10x now, the more I watch it the better it gets. Daniel Planview is an iconic character. This is my favorite DDL movie!
I really like when competitors can be like this. How guys like Spielberg, Scorsese, De Palma, Lucas, FFC, etc. were close and found inspiration from each other. Fom what I've read and heard, I love how guys like QT and PTA give each other mad props as well. They're like the same age, came out at the same time, were constantly compared by fans, yet always respect and praise the filmmaking of on another.
If ever also, a film deserves being called a "Film" This film, indeed deserves it unlike any other. I remember being absolutely floored at what I saw the first time I viewed this film. And every time I have watched it since-just a brilliant, utterly brilliant piece of cinema.
Quentin is top 5 best film directors of all time. His appreciation for the scene when they take the oil rig down only adds to his creative mind. For me, best scene in the movie. Very intense
It really is a movie where you can see how hardship can shape a man, and what enduring such experiences feels like and the memories of them afterwards.
I haven't watched it twice because i don't think I can handle it again. Not because I didn't like it, but because it's like a great trek across an incredible landscape. It's an experience that profoundly influences one. One cannot repeat such a thing regularly.
DDL is a phenomenal actor. This one, Gangs Of New York and him playing Lincoln were mind blowing. I mean, who else could’ve played A. Lincoln as well as Lewis ? Absolutely nobody is the answer.
Quentin confirmed as a Jonny Greenwood enthusiast
My take away from this as well… hahahah gotta love Jonny
That's exactly what I wanted to hear, even if I knew the low possibilities, that Quentin recognize the soundtrack brilliantly made by Johnny Greenwood
everyone always forgets to mention the compelling Arvo Pärt piece which also plays in the movie (Fratres).
Greenwood would’ve won the Oscar if the soundtrack were eligible
Was convergence original to There will be Blood? I swear I’d heard it in another movie before.
I could listen to Quentin talk about other peoples' films all day long.
You're in luck, he has a podcast where they do exactly that

Let's not forget how good Paul Dano was in this film. He held his own alongside the legend.

Would be cool, if Tarantino made another pulp fiction but with different casting. (Maybe this will be the future of cinema, btw. I mean why not? Why should a director make one movie per script. There are no rules in art)
One of the most underrated films of all time, absolute masterpiece
@@SkyNetGeneral- well from my standpoint it is, everyone I talk to around me can’t stand it and its so surprising to hear. That’s why I say it’s so underrated.
@@SkyNetGeneral- Dude, who cares, it’s not a big deal
@@SkyNetGeneral-Pulp Fiction is in no way a commercial movie. It's a very unorthodox style of movie making and storytelling that wasn't popular back then. Also it was Tarantino's second movie, very few people heard of him at that time, people cared less about who the director was back then anyway. You're either young or completely ignorant or you're just trolling
I don't know about the rest of the world, but for me this film is my favorite.
The tempo, the script, DDL delivers a monster performance and Dano also.
I absolutly love this film
My favorite movie. This is the most slept on movie I swear. It’s so good
Paul Dano is absolutely amazing.
He is! He really is and so is Daniel but that goes without saying.
Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead did the score. Absolutely brilliant.
No wonder I hated the movie. Freaking Hitler Youth music.
@@JoeRoganfulwtf are you talking about😭???? How is Radiohead or Jonny Greenwood at all related to “Hitler youth group”???
Daniel is a master actor 🤷♂️💯
The fact he still loves movies really makes me happy.
Flawless. Paul Thomas Anderson doesn't always quite hit the mark for me but this is his masterpiece. A bonafide classic.
Love Tarantino's enthusiasm
I didn’t like it much the first time. I loved it the second time. It’s now one of my favourites.
Ironically enough considering this vid, I felt the exact same way about Reservoir Dogs.
You think he is just an angry dad for the first time that the son is leaving. Then the second goes around how plotting he was and that he did it for the purpose of having a family image.
Same here! Didn’t appreciate it the first time
The Paul Dano epic beat down in this movie was beautiful 😂
When i first saw it... My god, the ferocity of dan day lewis... I really thought he is going to kill that boy... But then i saw one video explaining how movement of camera made it more visceral ot first hand experience.. No doubt what dan day does os gold but it was also accompanied by equally good director who knows the craft.... Shame it did not get best picture or best director oscar...
It made you forget it's just a movie. You diverge into the head space of each character's thinking and forget about how cinematic it truly is
Hands down the greatest performance I've seen on film, also great shout out to johnny greenwood for the soundtrack , I loved it the first time I heard it
Yes.
There’s that performance, and then there’s everything else in whatever order you want, I wouldn’t argue with them.
Now I have to go home and watch this tonight
I'm watching tonight.
I was 16 when this movie came out and I remember being glued to my tv when I watched it. Especially during that fire scene!
such a good movie, amazing acting, amazing dialogue/script, absolute magnificent performances from everyone.
The guy who worked at Blockbuster looked at me funny when I bought this on DVD the day it came out. Even asked if I'd seen it. I was like "Saw it in the theater." I think he thought I thought it was a mindless action movie of something. He was very confused.
An amazing film. Paul Dano got robbed that year. He deserved best supporting actor. I had to watch it twice to really get it. Excellent film.
Unfortunately, Javier Bardem was in No Country for Old Men. When I saw that movie, I knew Bardem was going to win for Best Supporting Actor.
one of those years man, nearly any other and he would have won
He got robbed in 2015. Love and Mercy, playing Brian Wilson. He wasn’t even nominated!
This film is a freaking perfect movie.
There is no speaking for such a long time.
So many things about it are just right.
One of the finest American films ever made. An extraordinary piece of filmmaking.
The percussion of the score of this scene is incredible. Starts simply, then grows into a cacophony of disjointed chaos that eventually settles into rhythmic clarity, perfectly aligning with the storytelling.
One of the greatest movies!
Very underrated. Pure Americana. My favorite scene is the tycoons v Daniel Plainview. As well as DP v the small town he swindles. He’s honest, a thief, a businessman, a opportunist, hard worker and a demon all at once.
Underrated???!! It’s highly acclaimed
@@gedrooney9305 yeah. What I’m saying is it’s a hidden gem.
@@Justino2030 it's not a hidden gem. It's been widely distributed, won two academy awards, has two of the greatest talents in acting, and was directed by one of the most accomplished and recognized directors of this generation.
It’s a masterpiece, without question
*So awesome how jazzed and positive he is about so many **_other_** filmmakers. (Film-lover FIRST and a director SECOND!)*
As a career oilfield guy I can say this film absolutely changed my work ethic to strive harder.
But are you a family man?
@@z0uLess …”if I say I’m an oil man, you will agree.”
One of the best movies of all time right here
Daniel Day-Lewis is hands-down the greatest actor ever!
I don't buy movies. I bought this one.
Same. bought it on blu ray in 2010
Best performance by an actor, Paul Dano was amazing as well. The final scene is one of the greatest in all of cinema
This movie is a masterpiece in my opinion. Daniel Day Lewis epic acting and the way he talks. It's hard to classify an accent. All the actors were excellent. Great movie and one you can definitely watch again and again.
Before I clicked on this I said “I swear to god, if he says anything bad about this film, I’m gonna drop QT from my favorite artist list”
Every time Quentin talks about an anderson film you can hear the envy spewing out. Quentin was always jealous of the artistic delivery in boogy nights….
He does talk about Paul Thomas Anderson a lot. I was thinking the same thing. He knows how good he is.
He's got nothin to be jealous of, especially after making Inglourious Basterds. They're just different vibes - Scorsese shouldn't be jealous of Kubrick either.
What is a set piece?
Sort of like, a big or flashy scene, usually taking a bunch of work to pull off, which stands out as a memorable or pivotal part of the film. I think.
@@Rompler_Rocco Great explanation, thank you 🙏🏽
check out the game, it is perfect example of this
@@maitlember1942 I will watch it with this in mind. Thank you. The movie with Michael Douglas right?
@@johnnyrodriguez5938 no he meant to watch a superbowl game
I watch this once a year. I feel like this movie is a close friend or relative. I take comfort in the sheer weight of DDL's acting, the music, and the cinematography. This is a complete masterpiece.
Quentin being one of not only the best directors of all time but being an extremely critical CRITIC of film, we should actively be listening to and agreeing with his opinions on film. If he looks up to PTA, so should we. Thats why PTA is the best. Hes having the best of the best give him his flowers, thats why you should at the minimum respect what Anderson does in his films.
The movie is such a in-depth examination of determination, insecurity, focus, loneliness, inability to trust, greed, inability to love, inability to share life, passion without compassion, deep resentment, anger and hate. Clear message about religion and its affects on a community. The movie show how resentment & insecurities can be driving force where a man suffers in his own skin and only in peace and the only remedy is control through wealth.
This is one of the best films ever made! Every time you watch it, it gets better and better!
This is one of those movies that gets better and better every time you see it. It bored me at first, but now it is one of my top 5 faves.
I'm obsessed with this movie! Seen it about 10x now, the more I watch it the better it gets. Daniel Planview is an iconic character. This is my favorite DDL movie!
There Will Be Blood is the peak of Great Filmmaking and is on another level of visual storytelling. So subtle and so present.
Absolutely beautiful film in my opinion. Seen it many times and never get bored.
I saw this not knowing what to think but was blown away and sat there enthralled for the entire run time
I really like when competitors can be like this. How guys like Spielberg, Scorsese, De Palma, Lucas, FFC, etc. were close and found inspiration from each other.
Fom what I've read and heard, I love how guys like QT and PTA give each other mad props as well.
They're like the same age, came out at the same time, were constantly compared by fans, yet always respect and praise the filmmaking of on another.
A masterpiece in Cinema
the intro alone when he falls into the shaft after blasting silver ore is a greatttt set piece! 👌🏻
One of the all time best movies ever made!
I had to watch it twice to appreciate how great it is.
One of my favorite movies, every movie I've seen him in I've loved. His acting is leaps and bounds ahead of most
Forget twice. I've seen this movie about a hundred times, and I still can't believe how godamn amazing it is.
I really enjoy hearing directors nerd out on each other's work
A truly classic film. Easily one of the best films of the past 20 years, if not all time.
Thank you for this short. I finally watched it now. What a ride.
This movie always been one of my favorites. Cinematography is stunning and Daniel day Lewis was amazing! The story is perfect as well. 10/10
If ever also, a film deserves being called a "Film" This film, indeed deserves it unlike any other. I remember being absolutely floored at what I saw the first time I viewed this film. And every time I have watched it since-just a brilliant, utterly brilliant piece of cinema.
I fffffff-fucking LOVE this film. Glad to hear Quentin talking about it...
Quentin is top 5 best film directors of all time. His appreciation for the scene when they take the oil rig down only adds to his creative mind. For me, best scene in the movie. Very intense
1st time I saw it I didn't even finish it. The 2nd time I thought it was the GREATEST piece of acting EVER!
Man I love that PTA music it’s so good and always so distinctively PTA
QT always gives it up when he should 🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏
I've seen this movie over 20x by now and still feel compelled to revisit every year, same as no country.
Seen this many times, I completely understood it the first time but knew it needed a second or more viewing
Just an exquisite cinematic delicacy...
This is easily one of the best movies I’ve ever watched in my life
It really is a movie where you can see how hardship can shape a man, and what enduring such experiences feels like and the memories of them afterwards.
It's an amazing film that is vastly overlooked.
The way he said “I’m finished” like child who finally cleaned his dinner plate sealed the open ending perfectly
I haven't watched it twice because i don't think I can handle it again.
Not because I didn't like it, but because it's like a great trek across an incredible landscape. It's an experience that profoundly influences one. One cannot repeat such a thing regularly.
DDL is a phenomenal actor. This one, Gangs Of New York and him playing Lincoln were mind blowing. I mean, who else could’ve played A. Lincoln as well as Lewis ? Absolutely nobody is the answer.
