I love the way the milkshake scene mirrors this one, that was Daniels revenge. Making Eli renounce his faith was as demeaning for him as this absurd baptism was for Daniel.
Those lines, especially 'my boy' break my heart everytime! Masterclass in acting, writing, directing. Incredibly good movie and scene (and Sir DDL: that was one for The Ages, nobody can beat you at your game!)
Michael Carnevale Yes, I believe he did. if you watch closely at Plainview face while he is talking to HW at the train, a tear drop falls off of his face. While walking away from the leaving train, you can clearly see his face and it is all telling. We can tell that he was a rather compassionate father given the time period. it was very common for parents to distance themselves from their kids, and it was very normal to send their disabled kids to school away from them. A single man taking care or a child was VERY strange, and it was an incredible undertaking.
Quentin Tarantino said the Paul Dano felt like the only exception in this otherwise perfect movie was paul danos performance not being able to hold candle to Daniel Day Lewis and im inclined to agree. If Eli were supposed to come of as a worthy adversary to Daniel in this scene i would say he falls short.
the thing i fucking love about this scene is how he whispers about the pipeline to himself when its finally over, being baptized and humiliated in this manner is his worse nightmare but this man will do anything to get what he wants
@@jackprime The way Daniel shakes his hand, holds it, moves in closer and glares at Eli...extremely threatening....already promising revenge right then and there....Eli Fk'd with the wrong psychopath....Daniel will wait as long as it takes, but he will get his revenge
Exactly. We're set up to know this is making him cringe to the fullest extent. And then Eli guilts him about HW and multi-slaps him, hahahaha. My friends and I were dying on this part the first time we watched it. Man, I wish I could watch this for the first time again. What a chaotic and beautiful experience. The back and forth between Daniel and Eli was great.
I love this scene! Eli slapping Daniel, and Daniel knowing he cannot do anything about it in front of the churchgoers. You can feel Daniel's frustration
@szs voc Liking your own comment and writting about people being "cliche sheep" and "in need of a life". Bwahahahah w/e dude! I don't have patience for stupid people so i won't even ask what in god's green earth triggered you to write sth like that. I don't wanna know...
hes based off of Edward Doheny who in real life was pretty much an oil/money hungry piece of shit like Plainview. The last name Plainview, its most likely inspired by an oil town in Texas called Plainview, TX.
I just love that In this scene Daniel doesn't give a shit about being there and you can see the aggression in his eyes towards Eli. And that moment when Eli pisses him off to his limit he shouts so it can be over and you can see that Daniel feels humiliated. And I love that at the end of the film when he humiliates Eli by getting Eli to say "I am a false prophet and God is a superstition" for payback of this humiliation. Damn this film is amazing PTA is a modern Kubrick.
EminAnimE1 This most fabulous film was scripted by Paul Thomas Anderson, based upon Upton Sinclair's novel "OIL"... however another book as well) I cannot recall....no time to look it up. Name of the film is "THERE WILL BE BLOOD" I'm not around here much, and maybe someone already answered your question.Sorry. But I believe DDL among THE greatest actors ever. And THIS, among his finest of work. Take Care and buy the DVD or whatever. It's brilliant.
to Wally....... "YES it IZZ-UH!" In my opinion THIS, as well as his subtly brilliant performance as Newland Archer in Scorsese's film version of Edith Wharton's "The Age Of Innocence".....convinces me he is among THE BEST. Far too many other performances to list.
I'm pretty sure when he is whispering, he is telling him that he is going to eat him. at the end of the movie, when he gives eli his own medicine, he shouts that he told him he would eat him.
This is one of the greatest films of all time. Incredible acting by an outstanding cast, and cinematography on the level of Kubrick. I only wish it was twice as long. I wonder if there's any chance of an extended Director's Cut?
@@FragMeAndTagMe nah, I agree. There Will Be Blood, in my opinion, is THE greatest film ever made. The writing, cinematography, acting, directing, music, it’s almost perfect when out together. This film is beyond a masterpiece!
One can only imagine after the baptism scene that when Daniel shook his hand and spoke.. He said I will get you for this.. Great film and a well deserved Oscar.
What was so great about this scene is, he had no problem admitting to being a sinner, he had no problem even taking the slaps. What pissed him off was when Eli mentioned H.W. but even then he powered through it.
Not only that, but William Bandy (whose land Daniel needs in order to build the pipeline) knows that Daniel killed the person who posed as Daniel's brother on his tract. If Daniel didn't go through with the "baptism" at the hands of Eli, he would have risked having that dark truth exposed.
Mike Giongo Exactly Mike! Did you guys also like Bandy's acting? Its really very good (as where many of the supporting roles, like his brother-from-another-mother)
This scene has everything, power, comedy, intelligence, vulnerability and truth while still being able to trick the congregation that he's cleansed when deep down he just wants his "pipline" built. one of the greatest Actors ever!
Tristan Tobey everyone needs to stop conparing him to anyone, there has never been an actor with his range. De niro is great but plays basically the same characters all the time. This man completely morphs into any character possible and never has a dull moment or does any cheesy hollywood movies. Put some respect on his name please.
I thought Tommy Lee Jones was a lock for best actor 2007 until I saw this movie and this scene made me realize that no one else could even come close, and if DDL wanted to win an Oscar he could probably do it on a whim. Look at his facial expressions, the guilt/frustration/rage all blend together, as if DDL was actually dealing with these things himself in real time.
You need to play this scene until Mary Sunday walks up behind him and hugs him. It shows that Daniel is capable of caring for people. And he cares for H.W and Mary Sunday, because of their innocence. They are not yet corrupted by the ills of the world.
One man goes into the waters of baptism. A different man comes out, born again. But who is that man who lies submerged? Perhaps that swimmer is both sinner and saint, until he is reveals unto the eyes of man. - Zachary Hale Comstock
More than 3 years after watching this for the first time, and I only just realized that when Eli is screaming at Daniel to "get out devil!", he's really telling Daniel to leave the town.
This is my favourite scene in the film and one of my favourite scenes of all time because even this depraved, selfish and frankly horrible man we see is still capable of feeling- he wants a friend, a partner and he feels guilty for his son. There is hope even in the worst of us.
well yeah he is overall- he thinks it'll be a walkover but he actually finds it emotionally moving- we see his guilt and regret is genuine because in the very next scene he brings his son home from the school he sent him to
Baptism is holy and even beyond insincerity. Even the Roman’s that placed a crown of thorns on Christ’s head in a mocking gesture did not realize they were the first evangelists to proclaim Christ as the King of Kings.
has the director or the actors themselves ever commented (not speculation) about the comment made by DDL to Paul at the end of the scene? Does anyone KNOW for sure?
You can really see hints of the riddler in Eli. I thought of this movie while watching Batman, it was an alright movie but know where near as good as this masterpiece.
I love the way the milkshake scene mirrors this one, that was Daniels revenge. Making Eli renounce his faith was as demeaning for him as this absurd baptism was for Daniel.
And it was all for nothing because he already drilled that
This also mirrors Daniel beating Eli and baptizing him in oil
"I've abandoned my child!!! I've abandoned my boy!!!!" Awesome acting by a fine talent.
Those lines, especially 'my boy' break my heart everytime! Masterclass in acting, writing, directing. Incredibly good movie and scene (and Sir DDL: that was one for The Ages, nobody can beat you at your game!)
jorg1206 He is awesome, no doubt about it. He won the actor award for this film didn't he?
Yes he did Shaun, you can see the acceptance speech here on youtube
jorg1206 I'll try & find it. He really earned it after this performance.
Michael Carnevale Yes, I believe he did. if you watch closely at Plainview face while he is talking to HW at the train, a tear drop falls off of his face. While walking away from the leaving train, you can clearly see his face and it is all telling. We can tell that he was a rather compassionate father given the time period. it was very common for parents to distance themselves from their kids, and it was very normal to send their disabled kids to school away from them. A single man taking care or a child was VERY strange, and it was an incredible undertaking.
That is acting on a whole different level
This is not acting my friend, this is a man possessed by Daniel Plainview.
it wasnt acting it was real life hapenning
at 2.53 what he said to him
The devil must really hate being lightly slapped and mildly verbally abused.
I don't get it.
+Hidious Vanity Does anyone enjoy being slapped and screamed at? wait... yes some people do
+The3rdworldgamer Down on your knees..

Quentin Tarantino said the Paul Dano felt like the only exception in this otherwise perfect movie was paul danos performance not being able to hold candle to Daniel Day Lewis and im inclined to agree. If Eli were supposed to come of as a worthy adversary to Daniel in this scene i would say he falls short.
Just give me the blood, Eli, let me get out of here. GIVE ME THE BLOOD, LORD!
Exactly!
***** true!
Baptism of fire yes Lord! Out with thr old in with the new!
Yes!!!!
Let me out!!!
The way he says "yes I do" at 2:20 just cracks me up
Him shaking off like a dog after he's baptized is what gets me.
Never noticed that! Awesome, a complete lack of conviction coupled with an almost mocking tone.
Its a big joke in our house.... Yes I Do !
He knows the ordeal is over. And he knows he’s conned Eli. He’s really smug about it. Quite psychotic if you think about it 🤣
@@ladies_man217. He's just playing the role of a repentant sinner. An actor acting as a character who acts like he's genuine. Genius.
the thing i fucking love about this scene is how he whispers about the pipeline to himself when its finally over, being baptized and humiliated in this manner is his worse nightmare but this man will do anything to get what he wants
look at Paul Dano at 2:44. He totally heard him say that, amazing subtlety in this film.
Jack Mancuso he shakes his left hand too, i hope that was intentional
@@jackprime think this vid is flipped
@@jackprime The way Daniel shakes his hand, holds it, moves in closer and glares at Eli...extremely threatening....already promising revenge right then and there....Eli Fk'd with the wrong psychopath....Daniel will wait as long as it takes, but he will get his revenge
2:20 is it wrong that I think that look Daniel has on his face is hilarious? And then that delivery of his line " Yes I do" that is just GOLD IMO
It most certainly is GOLD. LOL
I was just thinking the same.. the way he delivers the line.. its GOLD
I can literally not describe how brilliant his acting is in this scene, especially small details like this... better than perfect!
What makes it so funny is that he's clearly lying
Exactly. We're set up to know this is making him cringe to the fullest extent. And then Eli guilts him about HW and multi-slaps him, hahahaha. My friends and I were dying on this part the first time we watched it.
Man, I wish I could watch this for the first time again. What a chaotic and beautiful experience. The back and forth between Daniel and Eli was great.
2:23 hahahaha the way he says "yes i do" :DDD Im dying!
Yeah I love the way he says I'm a sinner
It's so disingenuous haha
And this is not even a comedy
Conor McGregor an even funnier line is daniel saying "oh there he is!"
zombiesnyder13 I know right, it isn't a comedy but it has a bunch of hilarious scenes that don't even break the immersion. That is quality film making
I love this scene! Eli slapping Daniel, and Daniel knowing he cannot do anything about it in front of the churchgoers. You can feel Daniel's frustration
Then Daniel returns the favour at the end.
Daniel gets his revenge..he gets it!!!
Marlon Brando was probably 20th century's greatest actor. Well, 21st century belongs to this man, thus far at least! He is just incredible...

@@jay_kulina well said
His best Performance is left Foot! Just my Opinion!
@@andykolb6502 nah, he just plays a retard there. this is his finest performance in my opinion.
Daniel Plainview is the most captivating character in cinema history.

Thanks for the info!
And that's a pipline....
Thanks was wondering
1:18-1:54 best acting moment in cinema history.
Not even close
@@Gma00001 mate you’re everywhere just shutup, get that Argentinian drug sniffer off your pfp
"Where is the lord Eli?"....SLAP..."There he is!" :D lol
CardsInfinity.com AHAHA
Paul Dano is such an underrated actor.
He played klitz in the girl next door.
No, he’s quite highly rated actually.
He’s going to play the Riddler in the new Batman movie
He plays a villain brilliantly. Prisoners, Girl next door, TWBB, and now The Riddler to come
“If you are justice, please do not lie”
“What is the price for your blind eye?”
1:30 That Look. That "I'm gonna bash your head in with a bowling pin" Look.
2:37 He reveals that he did this minor humiliation to get his pipeline. Whatever it takes to make a deal.
Errr....I mean that was plainly spelled out long before this scene. I thought it was fairly obvious, but I guess we all can't be Captain Obvious.
Yea no shit, this was very clear prior to him saying that
notice hos he shakes Eli's hand with his left hand. Like making a pact with the devil
15 people have abandoned their child
22 in fact
THEY'VE ABANDONED THEIR BOYS!!
26 now have abandoned their BOYS
confirmed, we now have 28 big nasty child-abandoning bois
I just love that In this scene Daniel doesn't give a shit about being there and you can see the aggression in his eyes towards Eli.

The veins in his forehead say 'IF' backwards.
The brand of a sinner
MarcusAurelius This video is flipped I'm pretty sure. So it does say IF without being backwards.
@이승환 Were you about to call me an ASS HOLE ?
The mark of the beast.
This movie was made in 2008. 10 years later, Black Panther won best picture. Thats how fast we've fallen.
SO TRUE :(
Far too many great scenes in this film. It's a masterpiece!
+bravaLiz Can you tell me the name of the movie please?

Among the gods of actors....
Paul Dano's baby face works so well with all the vengefulness in the scene. Perfect contrast.
After all he says: 'Yes, I do'. And it seems so sarcastic.
Daniel to Eli in the end "I will eat you"
He did something worse in the end. He drank his fucking milkshake!
+JohnDanielTorrance i drink it up!! SLUUUURP
thank you daniel day lewis for all the great acting you've done in the movies. you will never be forgotten.
I'm pretty sure when he is whispering, he is telling him that he is going to eat him. at the end of the movie, when he gives eli his own medicine, he shouts that he told him he would eat him.
when eli says "say it. say it," i love every face movement day lewis does. that anger. very nice acting
This is one of the greatest films of all time. Incredible acting by an outstanding cast, and cinematography on the level of Kubrick. I only wish it was twice as long. I wonder if there's any chance of an extended Director's Cut?
That's a bit of a bold claim with the comparison to kubrick.. But yes it's a great film...
if you haven't seen "In The Name Of The Father" i strongly recommend that you whatch it, Daniel Day Lewis is excellent as always.
driver3596 I'd bet Kubrick would love this film if he could have seen it. I absolutely believe Paul Thomas Anderson is on Kubrick's level.
@@FragMeAndTagMe nah, I agree. There Will Be Blood, in my opinion, is THE greatest film ever made. The writing, cinematography, acting, directing, music, it’s almost perfect when out together. This film is beyond a masterpiece!
Yes! The opening scene of TWBB has the EXACT vibes of 2001: A Space Odyssey's
This is such incredibly good acting.
One can only imagine after the baptism scene that when Daniel shook his hand and spoke.. He said I will get you for this.. Great film and a well deserved Oscar.
He him that he will eat him
Daniel Day-Lewis is the best actor in the world... sad to see him retire.
Can't do it forever.
What was so great about this scene is, he had no problem admitting to being a sinner, he had no problem even taking the slaps. What pissed him off was when Eli mentioned H.W. but even then he powered through it.
His ONLY redeeming quality is the guilt he felt about H.W. Otherwise, he would have been a perfect asshole.
One of my favorite scenes, he must endure the trial to gain enough trust with the religious community to build the pipeline. Its all very political.
Not only that, but William Bandy (whose land Daniel needs in order to build the pipeline) knows that Daniel killed the person who posed as Daniel's brother on his tract. If Daniel didn't go through with the "baptism" at the hands of Eli, he would have risked having that dark truth exposed.
Yes, there will be blackmail
Mike Giongo Exactly Mike! Did you guys also like Bandy's acting? Its really very good (as where many of the supporting roles, like his brother-from-another-mother)
"That was the best acting i've ever seen in my whole life"
I can feel the power of The Lord Eli! The smirk on Daniels face as he's being slapped cracks me up! LMAO!!!
To me, personally, this is the greatest moment in the history of cinema...
Daniel Ain't even shake him with his right hand at the end of the baptism lol
This scene has everything, power, comedy, intelligence, vulnerability and truth while still being able to trick the congregation that he's cleansed when deep down he just wants his "pipline" built. one of the greatest Actors ever!
"I wonder what he whispered to him?"
"I bet, it was just right.."
Damn, such a great acting, just great.
When they shook hands I imagine Daniel whispered “there will be blood.”
Hahaha "Just give me the blood lord.... and let me get away". Fucking relate.
"There's a pipeline."😏
I HAVE A BAND IN MY CHILD!!!

Every month.
I wanna say... Daniel Day Lewis always deserves the oscar... His acting is... always perfect and superb..
I love that intimidating handshake at the end!
"Where is he? Where is he? Oh, there he is!"
I love that he mocks the ceremony as much as he can.
he never believed one word. all of this to get the pipeline. this acting is just on another level
"we have a sinner here who wishes for salvation, Daniel"..why do I love this so much??!!?? I wanna go to church here!
This is my favorite scene after the milkshake scene. Wonder what he says to Eli after the yelling is over.
I love paul dano he is a great actor he is so wonderful creepy in this movie :D
2:04 "I feel the power of the lord Eli!" that part always makes me laugh
This is without a doubt the best written, dramatized and directed scene of all time. Thank you for making this movie.
Best Actor ever!!! Daniel Day Lewis!!!
This is what sealed the fate of Plano's character. He was dead man walking !!!!
And yet still leans into Eli with a handshake of intimidating authority...
“I tooooold you I was gonna eat you!!!”
OMG! The tone in his voice 1:14 "I want the blood" 🤣🤣
Throughout this Daniel's like 'You've got to be kidding me.'
Dude....I can't comprehend. It's never safe to humiliate anyone, how he didn't see a death sentence plotting against him.
He builds the Bowling hall only because Eli did this ...🤣🤣🤣
2:49 "There will be blood" lol
I thought Tommy Lee Jones was a lock for best actor 2007 until I saw this movie and this scene made me realize that no one else could even come close, and if DDL wanted to win an Oscar he could probably do it on a whim. Look at his facial expressions, the guilt/frustration/rage all blend together, as if DDL was actually dealing with these things himself in real time.
1:29 the moment you know Daniel wanted to kill him.
Man, I️ really want to know what Daniel day-Lewis said to Paul Danilo when he shook his hand. Whatever it was, he looked terrified.
"We should go bowling some time"
You need to play this scene until Mary Sunday walks up behind him and hugs him. It shows that Daniel is capable of caring for people. And he cares for H.W and Mary Sunday, because of their innocence. They are not yet corrupted by the ills of the world.

Absolutely phenomenal
One of the best and nuttiest scenes in any movie ever. PT Anderson is brilliant.
More than 3 years after watching this for the first time, and I only just realized that when Eli is screaming at Daniel to "get out devil!", he's really telling Daniel to leave the town.
No he isn't. Eli still thinks he's getting paid.
just wannt to say this was very good to watch. its my favorite film and i think it will be a classic for all time
I keep coming back to this.
Such a moving scene, among many in this film. Day-Lewis truly is a master.
"Down on your knees." Excellent
This scene will go down in history. Film students 50 years from now will be writing thesis papers about this movie.
What an incredible film! Especially the bit where the says " GIVE ME THE BLOOD LORD! "
This is my favourite scene in the film and one of my favourite scenes of all time because even this depraved, selfish and frankly horrible man we see is still capable of feeling- he wants a friend, a partner and he feels guilty for his son. There is hope even in the worst of us.
Ross Moncrieff Even though he was doing it for money?
well yeah he is overall- he thinks it'll be a walkover but he actually finds it emotionally moving- we see his guilt and regret is genuine because in the very next scene he brings his son home from the school he sent him to
Ross Moncrieff True but greed still took over. There was definitely a glimmer of a break through.
I love how eli is pretty much just trying to get back at him and taking out his anger on him.
What do you think Daniel says privately to Eli when he gets up? I think he is warning him that Eli's going to get paid back for that little scene.
Baptism is holy and even beyond insincerity. Even the Roman’s that placed a crown of thorns on Christ’s head in a mocking gesture did not realize they were the first evangelists to proclaim Christ as the King of Kings.

Oh he's going pay that pastor back.
You can really see hints of the riddler in Eli. I thought of this movie while watching Batman, it was an alright movie but know where near as good as this masterpiece.
guess what day lewis has to offer us in 2018....
IMDB says 'Fashion Project'. I'm scared ;__;
+Jon Snew Don't worry. Day Lewis can turn anything, no matter how shit it is, into gold... Oscar gold.
Jon Snew Me too... but its with Paul Anderson
Generic Actor Right!
nothing.. Just heard the news.
I don't know what it is but a mustache really transforms Daniel Day Lewis into a seriously intimidating man lol !
2:50 "I'm going to beat you to death with a bowling pin."
This movie is beyond brilliant
2:24 This is the moment Daniel decided to drink Eli milkshake
"I'VE ABANDONED MY MILKSHAAAAKE!"""
am i the only one who thinks paul dino should get Oscar nomination for this movie?
LMAO @ “paul dino”
The motorboat at 2:33 makes me laugh every time
Talk about flawless fucking acting!
I just love this scene good acting bye now
Who can really dislike this???
For this he earned the Oscar
Wonder what Daniel said to Eli as he was shaking his hand to put THAT look on his face.
how can someone be such a good actor . it's insane
