*** There Will Be Blood *** well crude oil

Despite being one of the critics. And institutions on both Thai and foreign films. To accept that. Movies of the Year 2007, but several reasons why I did not see this movie in this period. It's a long time ago, There Will Be Blood is missing from it.

But not long ago. For some reason. (I say may sound ridiculous) plus the advice of many people. In a similar period. This allows you to see. And find yourself missing out on a great movie to go.

There Will Be Blood is adapted from the novel. Published in 1926 on Oil! Upton Sinclair's the story of Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis) digging for oil and ambitions.

Daniel Little Boston oil to dig a small village in California, where agricultural land is barren.

And here he met a key competitor. Equally ambitious. I used to achieve similar goals.

The man is Eli Sunday (Paul Dano) is a young leader of the religious community.

It is adapted from the novel that the movie is older than 80 years, but with contemporary issues to the present. Meanwhile, it took a religious issue. And his criticism of capitalism was very interesting.

Let's consider it.

Power of the "father".

In There Will Be Blood is the story of the relationship of "father - son" is an important component of the film.

In particular, the "father", the film uses both direct and symbolic meaning.

For the definition of "father" is.

Daniel was the father of HW (Dillon Freasier) boy is actually a child of the oil workers who came with Daniel after the workers who died in mining accidents.

Other words for it. This character is not even in the movie appeared to be. But we see the characters talking about all the time. Rich and influential of the "father" of this.

And character of God is trying to represent the citizens of Little Boston boy Eli, who is a preacher in her. Protestant denominations (Protestant, Catholic, it is similar to the Episcopal Church).

In addition, the "father" is also a significant negative implications. The definition of interest.

There is a "parent" it.

When we consider the smallest social unit. This is a family, we find that, in general, "Father" is the leader of this society.
And I think many people would have heard. The meaning of the word "city fathers" already.

By instinct and nature of the male.

One of the desires of men. Is to have a father or a son.
We want to be a "parent" of men that may come from the same reason.

This is the nature of the male. It is true that they can be confirmed by statistics.
Imagine a President or President of the proportion of women in the world would not understand.

Therefore, the department or the "kingdom" is typical of the man who is capable. And ambitions.

In There Will Be Blood, we can see the kingdom of the two characters is that Daniel and Eli.

The fact that Daniel is a good start. He saw the advantage of the HW was adopted. (It does not tell the truth to HW).
He led HW to every place where he will rush to buy land. (Or giving people the ball in the area).

The image of "Father" because it is necessary.

"Being a good father" would represent "a good parent" in the body.

Of course, people will accept this idea without knowing it.

Meanwhile, Eli is not the source material, but he was the "father" with his father, who is a representative of the most powerful in the world. (Christian), that is "God" is used to create the rule.

In fact, both Daniel and Eli are not as good as I make them. And those who do not believe in "Being a good father," even less.

I just want both. That can only benefit themselves.

Even in the case of Daniel who is still visible. He has a love for the HW, even not from the original intent. But in the end, Daniel chose to end this relationship or not.

But in the case of Eli, it is evident from the explosive mood in the dining room table. He does not respect and believe there's a lot of the same.

Especially in the final scene. Eli reinforces that belief in God, only to be the only benefit. Which is different from Daniel's confession to the oil pipeline in the middle is pure speculation.

The similarities of these characters. It is possible that the children of Daniel and Eli may be quite different (in the middle of a conversation I had with him that Daniel had a problem with it).

The movie shows that. It is unlikely that parents will have children together. Because each partner is entitled to control. And interests of children. Utterly alone. The collision of the parents to take children, it is not uncommon.


HW does not leave until I grew up with the instinct of fatherhood. He was trying to build an empire. Or their department as well.

Of the issue. Trying to build an empire of men and There Will Be Blood is the issue. To build an empire. Or colonization.
And the oil is greater than that of gold. Movies can be traced to the political world today.

I propose to use the power of the "image" that might like to use the "media" is. In the oil.

[United States claimed that Iraq's weapons to justify the war. The real goal is oil].

Or the use of religion as a tool in the fight.
The movie is a struggle between the Christian religion. And who do not believe.

[Link to the Taliban with Islam. To create a rift between religion].

(Which I write this I have to protest the Islamic Center of New York with plans to burn the Quran fit).

And with that name is meant to HW's (first confess that I do not think politics), I try and find it in Wikipedia Search.

This is a "short middle name" of former President George HW Bush (George Herbert Walker Bush) Bush or his people to war with Iraq. Bush will send a child to handle.

The key here is that, unlike in the original novel.

It confirmed that the director Paul Thomas Anderson intentionally with full political aspects. And the symbols. Inherent in this story.

I was not much expertise in world politics. This is not the issue in depth with.

Capitalism and Christianity.

The introductory bit.

Capitalism and Christianity, or capitalism, or Christianity, it seems to be the opposite extreme.

But There Will Be Blood, we see that these two things to promote it.

(Before that I was out in the Freethinker admiring. "The teachings of Buddhism," but a Christian school for 9 years, but I was a Catholic school.

But There Will Be Blood is a Protestant. I need more research to verify the accuracy of the article. However, the data may not be 100% if it is not at fault here too).

The difference between Protestants and Catholics, is obvious.

Protestants do not recognize the Pope and all those who believe there is a servant of God. Need not be a priest. To serve God. Like the Catholic faith.

The Protestant There is no priest. But the preacher, or a present to God. This can be married. There is no prohibition in the Bible. (Like the Pope is not in the Bible).

This simply is.

Protestant opposition to the Vatican and the Pope, the monopoly right to a man to God. And de-monopolization of the Episcopal ministry for the sins of others because they assume everyone has the right to call sin by God directly.

In this corner is a good thing to be freed from the domination of the Church. With too much power. And to see a return of ownership of God to all people.

But on the other side, it is a bad thing. They are the channels that allow people to come to Eli for the interests of religion. Due to the lack of control. It's easy and it is a religious leader.

The name of Eli Sunday by switching to the new.

"Lie Sunday" or "lying days" (days of the Christian Church).

The name of Daniel Plainview as they reorder.

"Lie and Plainview" or "lying and Plainview".

Therefore, these two are the "Lie" or "lie" is the main component as well.

I may be thinking to yourself. It is highly possible that It is the intention of Anderson.

The characters in the name of the original novel. And traces the name to convey a symbolic interpretation of the HW is supported me very well.

The partnership of capitalism and religion, even to the conflict. But the fact that these are not difficult to understand. And for the general.

Suppose that in some countries a strong monarchy. People are very loyal. And his love of self. The Group of foreign operating business in that country. I need to make sure. Their loyalty to the king. Although he may not know. Or acknowledge the goodness of the king was much to admire.

This directly affects consumers in ways that are "the same" or family. The company has received more recognition.

Daniel, as the truth of this. They give everything to get the oil pipeline. Even forced to do what he hates most.

In addition to Daniel (forced) to follow the teachings of Jesus that was famous. "Love your enemies" without knowing it.

Of course, this practice is beneficial to everyone in the community because people have money, Daniel has laid pipelines, while satisfying the Eli and money.

In the case of Daniel is not uncommon. The image of religious devotion in the same way people will benefit enormously.

It is amazing. Why Christianity. That would be promoting the world. And the subject of greed. Back to the capitalist system was to facilitate just this.

First, it must consider the original novel, published in 1926 as Volume 21 of the book "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism" or "Protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism" his work. which was published in 1905 by Max Weber, who had been called. "The founders of modern sociology".

The content in the heart of that.

Generally Dedication to the cause of religion is not involved in the world. This includes the economic struggle. The problem is that it looks like this will not happen in the event of a Protestant?

Weber has to say.

"Capitalism" is the result of a "rational system" (rationalization) of the organization and economic system "reason" is not the result of a happy life. However, due to the need to prove that. "It is the one that has gained favor. And the salvation of God ".
Profits and wealth is a testament to that. They have been blessed by God. And was included in those whom God has selected (The elect or The predestined) to be saved.

God, who was selected. Not only is it a good go, but there would be "a good job" with a "good job" in this section means. "The work of religion," but only. It also included. "The way the world works," as well, hence the "strict discipline" (Asceticism), but is not limited only within the church walls. The existence of the plant. And work with ".

This may be caused by the film. And may include the original novel. The story of an encounter between "capitalism" and "Christianity, especially Protestant".

I think that the movie does not focus. And clearly. Weber has been criticized on the issues that are good.

I was able to put forward a reference to the behavior. And what happens in the movie.

But this is beyond my capabilities, as well as politics. The knowledge economy is a little bit.

(At this point I think I read about. "Religion and capitalism," which is referenced in the book, which Weber said just a few lines only).

So I do not think that it is linked to events in the movie too. I would point out that much.

There Will Be Blood that I'm wearing today and attacked the capitalist system. By showing that the state alone is happy. And out of the morality and humanity of Daniel in the end.

I consider that In the film the attack on capitalism. It was an attack on a Protestant. The built-in as well. The church supports the capitalist system indirectly.

I can not tell whether the practice of the Church or not. I say "management" of the church is strong. Eli makes a false saint to gain it easily.

The film was the character of Eli in their pessimism. It's almost invisible.

And Daniel (the representative of capitalism) is the punishment of Eli (the agent of a strong Protestant) in the end.

We can see that HW is representative of the Catholic
HW, who is deaf, the interpreter (pastor) is in contact with Daniel (father, God).

Instead of a Catholic priest or bishop, as a medium of communication with God.
(Also interesting is the wife of HW, Mary or Mary Magdalene as the first female disciples. And most of Jesus' closest disciples).

In the HW of the "anchor of the human" (Christianity) and Daniel passed away as well.

When I noticed it was found. Every time Daniel was killed at HW was not with him.

Aspects of Christianity in There Will Be Blood may be seen as symbolic.

Protestants do not make a moral human goals of Christianity it. Besides, to promote capitalism. It is human greed, passion, and even further away from morality.

Concluded that the experience of capitalism and Protestant Christianity. Can be more prosperous. Meet the needs of capitalism.
But people's minds. May decline with the greed and passion, which is opposed to Christianity.

So the real winner is the capitalist system.

As at the end of the film, Daniel Eli beat beat it to death a hand value.

The downside of the movie attacks. Protestant and indirectly, makes me wonder if director Anderson's religious denomination is.

Anderson is not expected to be Catholic.

There Will Be Blood tells the story simply. Gradual. But with this great audience appeal. And the story gradually grew stronger. It took more than two and a half hours of movies are not boring at all. Even more powerful every minute.

I own a great opening scene that almost no dialogue. The show is filmed. And visual storytelling skills.

Robert Elswit to the image transfer in a wide angle of the dry land. To the camera. Create an environment that is stress and fear. Even images that appear on the screen. It's just an empty land.

It also enhances the performance of Day-Lewis is excellent as well.

Called by the director of photography is an important factor that powers the movie. A movie that takes advantage of imaging is really worth.

The music of the band Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood's work, although sometimes a little too prominent. You can create a mood. "Dishonest" and "unpredictable" at all times, helping to support the visual style shooting in wide angle. I looked up. It also helps the audience's emotions under control.

That it is like to play it. It's not quite horror scene in which Daniel made to the pipeline.

If you want to know the power of music complements the mood of the story is how good a time watching the "fire rig" to try to mute the sound, he will know.

And is considered to be the best representation of Daniel Day-Lewis as Daniel Plainview in a dimension of emotional depth. And gradually expose their viewers to know. Been shown that in most cases, but less facial expression and eyes.

To the end that it may be "more than" a little bit, but it's not too bad. Besides, even the ending of the movie is set around the peak.

Day-Lewis is known as the heart of the film. With outstanding performances. Disreputable Roll radius, there is a complex, elusive, formidable as either "good and evil," the audience was "disturbing and sympathetic" to the other.

This is an incredible performer. The best present ever in 10 years.

Paul Dano as Eli did, it delivers impressive and the fact that Dano and Day-Lewis to the screen by itself does not suppress it. Then it is considered praiseworthy. This is a skilled performer to sell more distant future.

For a little less of the movie is.


I may be confused. The place itself is the film tells the story of one man. It is found between the two ideas. Equally bad.

It will focus on the encounter between two ideas. I missed that in the second half to waste time on details. Daniel and add a new dimension to the character through his brother, Henry faced too much character Eli forgotten it. It appeared again, it's the end.

If you are the life of Daniel, it should be the subject of Eli will promote this issue. The identity of Daniel are in the same way as the story of the HW or the story of Henry and the character Eli became the main character of the film.

Or a combination of both. It should make both stand out and about. It does not matter which one. It would be another story.

If it seems to make the film a rich and wonderful universe than this.


However, There Will Be Blood is Anderson's Masterpiece to the next.

I consider that it is. Directed at the age of 36 (the director), and this is just a piece of Nang 5.

Anderson is the Masterpiece at this level or better than this. Certainly in the future.

There Will Be Blood is a good oil. Waiting for the audience to dig up.

The extraction of oil. Not only the excavation of the human mind only. But also to excavate the history of capitalism, political, and religious aspects as well.


If oil can be "refined" to separate a variety of oil purification. For various fuels fast.


There Will Be Blood is the raw material. The audience can be "refined" to separate the various issues. Used as fuel for the mind as well.
