There Will Be Blood (2007) First Time Watching! Full Movie Reaction!!

There Will Be Blood (2007) First Time Watching! Full Movie Reaction!!

Comments

New Patreon here, this might have been mentioned. But the line after Daniel is baptised, the one you don't hear him say to Eli, the one that gives him a look of shock? I believe he said "I'm going to eat you up." In the final scene with the two Daniel says something to the effect "Didn't I tell you I was going to eat you up!"

Richard Desmond

Also it's fun because milkshakes had booze in them back in the day.

David W.

Fun fact: Alcoholic!Daniel used milkshakes out of all drinks as an example... because in those days they put BOOZE in them.

David W.

if you wanna see a blow your mind D.D.L performance, watch My Left Foot. True Story

James

I prefer Anderson's earlier work: Magnolia, Boogie Nights & Punch Drunk Love. TWBB and his later films are well made but colder & harder to enjoy imo

Odd Thomas

It was too dark for me. I must have a happy ending.

Beau Mont

It's probably worth watching all of PTA's movies, but more than any of them, I really hope you consider Inherent Vice. His greatest film, IMO.

Tyler Foster

Incredible film! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Awesome! I’ve added the ones that weren’t already on our list, to the list. Thanks for the recommendations! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

TBR Schmitt

Awesome! Excited for more PTA! -Sam

DDL is on another level! I can’t believe I’d never seen him in anything! That’s so cool though, he’s unbelievably talents -Sam

TBR Schmitt

That’s awesome! We’d love to explore more PTA on the channel! Thanks for sharing those facts, we love to read this stuff -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Haha yikes! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

I can absolutely see why! Incredible film that we’ll definitely be revisiting for future viewings! -Sam

Hope you enjoyed the reaction! -Sam

Boogie Nights is amazing but i think besides TWBB, his other movies have kinda stunk

Ken Veader

NOt a fan of Magnolia but Boogie Nights is awesome

Ken Veader

Boogie nights is great! Def his and Mark Wahlberg's best movie

Ken Veader

What an incredible movie to return to after at least a decade since last seeing this! You guys have been watching some movies with serious pedigree and we're all here for it! Punch Drunk Love was my first PTA film and first time seeing Sandler's range. If you haven't already watched them, the Safdie Brothers have also created some phenomenal movies showcasing the range of Pattinson (Good Time) and Sander(Uncut Gems), again!

This was the first time watching this and I thought it was great. I don't think it lived up to the hype, but it was hyped to hell. I thought DDL was great as usual. Great movie, but I probably won't watch it again. Of the Paul Thomas Anderson movies I've seen, 'Boogie Nights' is my favorite and I've probably seen it at least 8-10 times.

Jeffrey Miller

"I don't think this is someone he wants to see in this moment." LOL. No one else is going to suggest this but, please, do consider The Boxer (1997). My favourite DDL performance.

Uncle 'Traveling' Matt

Don’t forget Phantom Thread too. It’s a shame it was so slept on, DDL is masterful in it.

Christopher B.

I find DDL's character to be the most despicable, unlikeable, and disgusting person ever portrayed on-screen. He deserved his Oscar, and I hope never to have to see that film again.

Chris Bruneau

I drink TBR Schmitt's milkshake!!!! <3

In the end, Daniel--and along with him Capitalism--replaces Eli--and along with him religion--as the great abuser, manipulator, and ruler of the people. "I AM THE THIRD REVELATION!" In the end, the church comes to the capitalist for a loan, and gets murdered for its troubles. I've always looked at this movie--which is brilliant--as a kind of new bible story...the rise of the great mythic figure, his son (who seemingly is born without a mother, as opposed to no father), his false brother (the devil), and so on. This and 'The Master' are probably my favorite Paul Thomas Anderson movies...although 'Boogie Nights' is still a great watch.

Steve Mercier

Some bomb-ass movies

Shawn Mayberry

Such a great film. One of my favourites. That final scene with HW was tragic. I hated how they put it in the film, but i suppose it had to happen

Alex

Paul Thomas Anderson is a special, brilliant filmmaker. You should check these out... "Hard Eight" (1996) Samuel L Jackson, John C Reilly, Phillip Baker Hall "Boogie Nights" (1997) Mark Wahlberg, Burt Reynolds, Julianne More, John C Reilly "Magnolia" (1999) Tom Cruise, Julianne Moore, William H Macy "Punch Drunk Love" (2002) Adam Sandler, Emily Watson, Phillip Seymour Hoffman "The Master" (2012) Joaquin Phoenix, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams

Joe Lazarus

In regards to Boogie Nights, I think PTA was influenced by and paid homage to Scorsese, Mikhail Kalatozov, Robert Altman and Stanley Kubrick.

Joe Lazarus

I know folks have already recommended a couple other movies with Daniel, but I wanted to remind you two about Age of Innocence! It has Daniel Day Lewis but also Winona Ryder, Michelle Pfieffer and Richard E. Grant and was directed by Martin Scorcese (one of his rare period piece movies and it's so beautiful O.O).

Rue

Last comment on this movie: Paul Dano wasn't the original actor hired for the part, but the original actor was so intimidated by Daniel Day Lewis, they had to totally scrap 3 weeks of footage until they found Paul Dano. But who can blame anyone for being intimidated by DDL?!

Mike Miner

Favorite Paul Thomas Anderson movie and favorite DDL performance. Jonny Greenwood's score (guitarist from the band Radiohead) is also perfect in its use in this movie. Can't say enough good things about every aspect of this film.

Brandon B.

Excited for this one. Phenomenal movie, though it might not suit everyone's taste

Eric Denney

That oil fire was 100% real too. PTA's crew told him they couldn't guarantee such a big fire could be kept under control.

Mike Miner

Can't wait for yall to see (Tom Cruise) Frank TJ Mackie, in P.T. Andersons "Magnolia". P.T. Anderson casted John C Reilley in Boogie Nights btw bc of his role in Casualties of War, he wanted him to play a very similar character.

Jonathan Patrick

DDL's best work, and that is a high bar to pass. Small bit of trivia - DDL ad-libbed the part about drinking the milkshake as being synonymous with oil drilling. DDL, being a method actor and all, went to some oil executives retreat or conference, as part of the role preparation and overheard someone talking about extracting oil using "drinking milkshake" metaphor. So DDL used it, unscripted, in the final scene.

Alec S

I'll drink yours. 😁

Mr. Writhms

Paul Thomas Anderson is my favorite director! There is a LOT of "Goodfellas" influence in "Boogie Nights" as far as story structure and camera technique. Might be interesting if you guys have really enjoyed your Scorsese adventure :)

Mike Miner

I think I'll have a milkshake 😋

Jonathan Patrick

Sam & TBR, THERE/BLOOD is, no exaggeration, is my top film of the 2000s. It is the only 2 hr+film I saw twice in theaters (once with my former fiancée & then with my mother/grandmother). To me, it has some many allegorical tie-ins to the psychology of human selfish ambition: both in the 20s & in the 21st century. So many layers to unfold. This makes my ❤️ sing in volumes this won the poll & you covered it. Godspeed! 👌 P.S. both times I took people to see this in the theaters, both parties also enjoyed it.

Cody Downs

Can’t wait to get back home to watch. Neat!
