To quote Quentin Tarantino: "There are facts. Water is wet, the sun is hot and Daniel Day-Lewis, in this film, is great."
I didn't know he said that lol. I can't imagine the amount if roles he has turned down. I can't imagine any director wouldn't want him in there film. He just cherry picks great roles.
Daniel Day-Lewis, in every film, is great.
I´m sorry, I mean, I have not seen the whole film yet, but based on this video, all I´ve seen from him more made me laughing rather than take him seriously or admiring his acting skills...Then again, I never saw any film with Daniel Day Lewis, I think. It´s just not the type of movie, I tend to enjoy, I´ve come to the same judgement for There Will Be Blood right now.....
@@chanceneck8072 i respect your opinion but, by all means, watch the movie and you'll understand the context of his performance. if his performance made you laugh, let me tell you that PTA's films tend to get darkly comical. However, if you're interested in great acting, DDL is considered one of the best actors today. Watch any of DDL's movies. My Beautiful Laundrette, My Left Foot, Age of Innocence, The Last of the Mohicans, In the Name of the Father, Gangs of New York, There Will Be Blood, Lincoln, Phantom Thread. if you grab his characters and put them in the same room, you can easily tell them apart. Such a shame he's retired now.
@@RAAM90 Yeah, thanks for your respect. But I just noticed by the list you gave me, ALL of these movies have always been some, I would not be interested in to watch. I´m sorry. I know, DDL is very popular and I respect that. After all, I know I have a very unpopular opinion on this. My favourite actor of all time is still Robert Downey Jr.....
Fun Fact: During the oil well fire, No Country for Old Men was filming nearby at same time, so they had to stop production for a day because of all the smoke in the sky.
Oh really?? That's wild!
Whoa! Wtf! Where was it filmed?
It was a sort of accidental revenge too because months prior the crew of NCFOM booked up all the rooms of the only motel in Marfa Texas where this was shot and PTA and his crew had to figure out somewhere else to stay during pre production.
@@granthoover9045 I think New Mexico
Yep
This film was nominated for 8 Oscars including Best Picture, but LOST the Oscar for Best Picture to the film you watched, No Country For Old Men.
Funny that they were voted to be watched so close together then 😄
@@BrandonLikesMovies and they were filming exactly at the same time and literally at the same place hahaha thats crazy
I prefer No Country For Old Men
BOTH excellent films. I think I liked NCFOM more but I loved DDL and his insane performance and that last scene that is one of the best in film history.
I love , I mean LOVE No Country For Old Men, but it doesn’t hold a candle to There Will Be Blood.
The director of the movie said that while directing it, to him it always felt like he was directing a horror movie. Daniel Plainview was also partly inspired by Count Dracula. You can see the parallels, too. Daniel being obsessed with the "blood of the land", etc.
I can totally see that!
This movie... I've never had an individual actor pull me in like this. Totally mesmerizing.
He was unbelievable!
[Grabs milkshake] Boy am I ready for this.
😂
Fun Fact: Daniel Day-Lewis is a method actor...so even when they weren’t filming he would remain in character to the point of scaring his co-star!
I wonder what Daniel Plainview's reaction was to Paul Dano standing up after being hit in the head with a bowling pin ten times.
Oh wow!! That's very impressive!
Daniel comes across as so nice in real life and so very different looking
dude legit had mental breakdown once when he thought he was seeing his dead father during a play
The fun thing is Daniel Day-Lewies has stated that this is kind of a weakness of him, that he envies actors who can simply go in and out of their characters, for he can't do that.
"I'm finished." With his dinner, and perhaps his freedom (if that murder is ever pinned on him -- and THAT'S a matter for debate), arguably, with his humanity/sanity, and hey, the movie's over, too. It's an absolutely perfect ending.
Hah, "pinned."
How I interpreted that scene by how calm the butler is: He's murdered before, the butler's seen alot of shit and had to clean up alot of shit.
@@SuzakuX :-)
what a fantastic soundtrack this movie has, jonny greenwood is a legend
It was a very unsettling soundtrack!
Didn't it end up not meeting the requirements for a best score nom because of some silly Academy rules? I really enjoyed Greenwood doing this and Reznor getting into film scores around the same time. Not sure if Greenwood stuck with it much but Reznor obviously has.
I'm biased cause I love Radiohead, but it really is one of the most effective scores I've ever heard.
Prospector’s Quartet *chefs kiss*
@@bicranium Greenwood is one of the finest composers I've heard. He is still around, and he's spectacular in everything he do.
@16:40 i just realized how in a scene like this you'd expect something a lot more heart warming and intimate, a close up of the father and son reuniting and embracing each other. Instead we have this really distant shot void of emotion. Not only that but the reason for the shot being so distant is to insure that the pipeline is visible running through the middle of this moment.
Very well said!
"I don't know anything about this movie" Oh my sweet deaf summer child.
😂 thought it was gonna be a gangster movie or something with that title
Brandon Likes Movies same here more of a modern western, but I liked it, he’s good in gangs of New York too.
Trowa71 hahah I did the same thing. “Oh,he’s about to see a masterpiece.”
It’s sort inspired by Upton Sinclair’s “Oil”
@@MiselStarmo Rubbish....Overrated!!
Speaking of Daniel Lewis, the movie "Gangs of New York" with him, Leonardo Dicaprio, and Cameron Diaz is great movie to react to as well.
That film is fantastic, highly recommend it
Last of the Mohicans is one of his best
Please don’t. It’s a really overdone, poorly toned, HORRIBLY scored, piece of trite.
Ignore the guy calling it a "piece of trite." He's confusing the words "trite" and "tripe," to start, but he's also wrong. It's a good movie.
@@rkstevenson5448 trite is a word.
Daniel Day Lewis is just something else! Have you not seen "Gangs of New York"? It's a must!
Dead Rabbits
Amsterdaaaaaam
What'll it be then? Rib or chop? Loin or shank?
Very small detail: but if you look closely at Daniel’s signature at the beginning of the movie and again towards the end you’ll see how messed up and nasty looking it becomes!
You have the best film review channel on TH-cam!🙂
This is hardly a film review channel. He just reacts to the film as he's watching them, saying exactly what's happening on the screen and only giving the most basic comments without any insight.
That is literally the definition of a review lmao.
@@televisiontunnelvision3303 shut up dork
Jayson 101 No, reviews don’t walk you through an entire movie.
Yung Windex777 Make me. That’s what I thought.
your reaction to Paul Dano's performance was amazing not many people appreciate that style of acting, so glad hes playing Riddler in Matt Reeves Batman.
Speaking of Paul Dano. One of my absolute favorite movies of all time, Little Miss Sunshine, is definitely worth a watch.
OHH BUDDY OHH PAL. THIS IS THE FINEST PERFORMANCE IVE EVER SEEN ON FILM. DDL KILLED IT. MURDERED IT. THE BEST OF THE BEST. HE PUTS ON A MASTER CLASS. INDEED.
He was incredible!
@@BrandonLikesMovies The movie is based on Upton Sinclair's "Oil". Ive read his other famous work "The Jungle". Sinclair was basically a socialist and exposed the horrible lives of people during the Industrial Revolution. What capitalism does to a society, how it degrades people , and how it turns some people into monsters with no empathy especially towards children and women. Teddy Roosevelt, after reading The Jungle, went on a crusade to have child labor laws enacted in the US and meat and food laws which would eventually turn into OSHA and the FDA. You should watch all of Daniel Day Lewis' movies, there are not many and all oscar caliber. BTW, he has now retired from acting. in movies. "The Bounty". "Last of the Mohicans", "My left Foot" , "Age of Innocence", "In the name of the Father", "The crucible". "The boxer", "gangs of new york",
"Phantom Thread" was his last movie from 2017. He says he is now retired. Paul Thomas Anderson also directed that film. It was a very slow burn outside of the box love story..lol It was great. If want to watch a fast paced almost action movie .. "Last of the Mohicans" . The Bounty and the crucible are made more for a larger audience. I love those movies.
@@itubeutubewealltube1 How is capitalism not also degrading towards men, actually more so than women and children, as men are force to serve in the military and fight, kill and die? There's nothing more degrading than being enslaved into the military to be part of a killing machine.
@@language-n-learning are you dumb? Men are no longer "forced" to serve in the military. It is completely volunteer. If you are talking about the draft, in the United States, then yes, only men are forced to sign up. The draft has not been used for 50 years. But the draft will be changed soon , I am sure of it. Most countries draft both women and men now.
@@itubeutubewealltube1 Ad hominem. Throughout history, most countries have forced (no quotes) men to serve in the military. If they refused they were put into (slave) labor camps, which happened in the US during WWII (and no women were put in those camps), or were put in jail unless they fled to Canada, which happened during the Vietnam War (and no women had to choose between war, Canada and jail. And American men still have register with the military when they turn 18 or they could be sent to jail for 5 years, be fined $250,000 and be barred from government jobs and loans for life. Women are not treated like that. It's not true that "most countries draft both women and men now". BS. What countries other than Israel draft women? And Israel requires less time and less dangerous duty for women. Your premise that society has "no empathy towards women and children" is vacuous. Society operates on the principle of "women and children first." Men are treated as disposable objects. I'm ready for your next ad hominen comment. Cheers.
Of all the movie memes, "I drink... your... milkshake!" is right up there for the weirdest one.
I drink it up!
And best
I worked in the oilfield for several years so I know what he meant by that line. What Daniel's character is talking about there is when you drill, you can drill not just vertically but you can drill horizontally out into other people's land. This is common now and tracked but back then most wells were vertical and there was no way to track where a well ended up at the end. He figured out a way to slowly drill horizontal onto the land that wasn't his and got all the oil from that land, therefore that land was dry and had no value anymore.
@@Gidono That was very insightful, thank you.
It's incredible. One of my favorite lines and deliveries everywhere. Daniel Plainview is a bastard but I can't help but love him.
In an interview with Daniel Day Lewis about this film, he says that he thought that the ending where he sends away his son, feels like a way to set his son free from the burden of being Plainviews son. He still has some humanity left in him, and knows that, although this will hurt his son, it will be a better life for him to be with his wife alone, than be a son of Plainview. I really like to see it this way.
I have abandoned my child!!!
F-me, DDL is one of the greats.
Such awesome delivery
"...That's a pipeline."
I just don’t understand why he’s so upset by that
um, i think it's for everyone. the man has more oscar nominations than most of us have had jobs
Okay, okay, okay! I’m not seeing any love in these comments for Daniel Day Lewis’ very first Oscar winning performance in “My Left Foot.” He is MESMERIZING in it!!
Based on a true story, he plays an Irishman with Cerebral Palsy who happens to also be a talented painter - however, due to his disease, he lacks proper control in his upper body so he is forced to paint by placing the paintbrush between the toes of his left foot.
As a healthcare professional of many years, I can vouch for how physiologically accurate his rendition is - every physical tic and mannerism is spot on. Also, most characters of this type are portrayed as pathetic and/or noble figures to feel sorry for. But not in this case. Daniel Day Lewis plays this character with so much piss n’ vinegar, we cannot help but glimpse his whole humanity, warts and all.
All three of his Oscar winning performances show off his amazing range:
“My Left Foot”
“There Will Be Blood”
“Lincoln”
Also nominated for:
“In the Name of the Father”
“Gangs of New York”
“Phantom Thread”
But his performance in “My Left Foot” is one for all time. Truly astounding.
Definitely want to check out more of his work, so thank you for the recommendations!
@@BrandonLikesMovies I concur. Yes Daniel Day Lewis is one of if not the greatest actor of all time. He is known for staying in character even off set when the camera isn't rolling. He does a great job changing his voice too. He's a British actor believe it or not. His method acting is insane in the 1989 film "My Left Foot" playing a cerebral palsy artist who can only use his left foot. He's also great as the main villain in Martin Scorsese epic 2002 film Gangs of New York. And he absolutely transforms as President Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg's epic 2012 bio film Lincoln.
As far as the story goes he had Spielberg adress him as Mr. President throughout production of Lincoln.
@@natedoggg2002 yeah he apparently stayed in character on my left foot throughout filming. He had to have someone push him around set and assist him getting dressed and everything. He is the goat
Funny, this is always my explanation as to why I wear a red shirt when taking my Finals.
“There Will Be Blood”
The film is 2 Hrs and 40 minutes, quite the epic film.
Definitely was hard to put it into a TH-cam edit with how packed it was!
Took me about 7 hours to watch. I can appreciate the quality of the movie, but man was it a struggle to get through for me.
@@crosbyhoffman1304 What the hell
That's an epic? All the Godfather films were longer, as was Schindler's List. One of my favorites Seven Samurai is an hour longer, and still flies by whenever I watch it. People are used to binging 10 hours of a show on Netflix because every episode ends on a major cliffhanger. Nobody can handle slow burns that are more about the characters and less about plot twists.
@@crosbyhoffman1304 I remember watching this for the first time, I enjoyed it but it dragged a little bit for me. Couple years later I rewatched it and I was amazed how good it is. I was literally glued to the screen for the entirety of a movie.
Paul Thomas Anderson is the ying to Tarantino's yang. Same generation of filmmaking. Often compared to one another. Early on their films were especially similar. Both young superstars. Became very good friends as well because of it. Before PTA was even 30, he'd already directed 3 highly acclaimed pictures with some of the best actors in the business. One of those directors who has so many fantastic films you cant decide which one is your favorite. Often, it's Boogie Nights or Magnolia. Often its The Master or Phantom Thread. Often its this.
Definitely interested in checking out more of his films
The Master is highly underrated and PTA is a genius imo
I love this movie and the Master but thought Phantom Thread, while technically was amazing, was so boring.
Brandon, definitely watch “Boogie Nights” which is Paul Thomas Anderson’s second film. It’s a great film with brilliant performances. I think you’d love it. Loving the reactions. 👍
Thank you! I'll add it to my list!
Brandon Likes Movies I should have also mentioned “Magnolia” which is really good as well. Challenging and not for everyone, but very well made. You’ve never seen Tom Cruise like this before. Paul Thomas Anderson in Robert Altman mode.
Magnolia that's a PT classic , not for everyone BUT I love films with several storylines going at once as it's interesting and they tend to come together at the end.
Like CRASH and Grand Canyon.
But yeah that's so much to say about there will be blood 🤗 and DDL Acting, l love how he stayed in character most the film, so often other actors not knowing WTF he's doing 👍
Brandon Likes Movies could you binge watch the wire or the sopranos
Yes! Also watch, THE MASTER. Inherent Vice is also a fun one too.
LAST OF THE MOHICANS has Daniel Day Lewis, bro. Same director as Heat.
Completely different kind of movie though, it has that early 90s non cynical charm. Still it is great and a beautiful movie, one of my favorites in fact, I've wanted to visit that beautiful landscape in the ending ever since i saw that movie. I also find the setting fascinating and always wanted to see it portrayed more in movies and other media like games.
Frank Miller last of the Mohicans........
Amazing film
Gangs of New York...... do a dan day Lewis... day........
My left foot.......
The boxer......
Pride and prejudice.....
He’s better than al Pacino...... he just shouts a lot ..
The soundtrack on Last of the Mohicans is quality👌
3:16, Dano will play the villainous Riddler in the new Batman movie next year.
Excited for that movie, has a great cast
I have owned this DVD for 10 years and never watched it. Shame on me.
Still ? Wow, it's character driven can be slow at points but worth watching when you have time!
This is one of the finest movies of the last 30 years. And Daniel Day-Lewis' performance is stellar. "DRAAAAAAIIIINNNAAAAGGE!!!!"
Now go see the THE MASTER starring Joaquin phoenix(his best performance) by the same director as twbb.
That's the only other Paul Anderson film I've seen
@@BrandonLikesMovies I strongly suggest you check out the rest of his filmography. If they feel a bit heavy, check out Inherent Vice, a hilarious pulp gonzo detective story of breath taking pace and weird twists. Also, Josh Brolin's supporting character in that is one of all time greats.
probably my favorite PTA movie.. the master that is, i think punch drunk love is very overrated
I’m embarrassed to say that I found The Master way too boring and uninteresting, and very weird...
Although I loved Phoenix’s performance
I’m sure it’s very deep, but it really didn’t work for me, at least so far.
If you look at Daniels face when he’s sending H.W away you can see that Daniel shed one tear this makes me believe that Daniel did truly love H.W
I’ve waited all day for this.
So did I yet I somehow forgot it was coming out. I just caught this early upload by luck.
Hope you enjoy an extra long video for waiting 😁
My brother was friends with Ronan Day-lewis. One morning after a sleep over, Ronan's dad came by to pick him up. This was well after There Will Be Blood and Ronan and my brother were friends in the same public school in NYC. Daniel came by with the MOST down to earth energy ever.
This is probably my favorite film of all time
Daniel Day Lewis is possibly one of the 5 best actors in history. Nominated for 6 oscar awards, winning 3 of them for best actor. I recommend Gangs of New York, My Left Foot or In the Name of the Father
In a lot of ways, this movie is about the evil of capitalism. Daniel is a pure capitalist. He's ruthless, immoral, apathetic, and seeks only to destroy his competition and increase his personal wealth.
The removal of morality is why capitalism falls. In an exchange between two parties, one will always be stronger. With no morality, the stronger exploits the weak as much as possible with no care for well being.
Sound like a communist
Mr.SmithGNR Smith sOuNd LiKe A cOmMuNiSt LMAO shut the fuck up snowflake
The big two evils of the world right now, capitalism and religion - and the two are entwined perfectly in the American religious Right
@@jamesmckay9483 lol other way around shitbag
The start of this movie is so important. It gives the viewer, within 20 mins who Daniel Plainview is.
This movie was so good, that even through I could see where Daniel's character arch was going (My first though when H.W. real father died, was that Daniel's first though was "How can I use this thing to my advantage") I was transfixed.
Such a good character study, masterclass film making.
My favorite film is Punch-Drunk Love also by Paul Thomas Anderson. If you want more from this guy, I’d check that one out for sure.
Such a contrast between No Country and this in terms of opening sequences, and both done so effectively. No Country establishes their characters well with dialogue, and then their actions convey so much about them to the audience. Whereas in this, we understand a great deal about Daniel from the speechless first ten minutes (or so). He's a worker. He's gotten his hands very dirty, he's seen some shit, he's largely unaffected by setback, stubborn, head-strong, confident and persistent, and mayyybe a sociopath. Then his opening dialogue carries that much more weight. Love it. Brilliant. Keep reacting to my favorite movies and you're going to become my favorite.
Probably the overall best American film of the 2000s, with the overall best performance, one of the most beautifully shot and scored...and what might be the most impressive part of it is that as perfect as DDL is, Paul Dano absolutely keeps up with him the whole way. Their work opposite one another is cinema gold. Dano got snubbed.
'Primer'. Best time travel movie ever shot. Caruth did it on a budget of $7000. Very confusing and well done.
We all know Daniel Day Lewis is a great actor but Paul Dano is severely underrated.
I think some movies aren't meant to be hyper-analyzed. There just meant to be taken in. This is one of those films, to me. After I saw it the first time, it left me with a surreal euphoric feeling. Like my emotions had been put through the wringer, but in the best possible way. Day-Lewis' performance is transfixing. I rank it as his best ever, which is saying a whole hell of a lot. I mean this man has been incredible in every roll he's ever taken. My Left Foot, The Crucible, Lincoln, In the Name of the Father, The Last of the Mohicans, Sense and Sensibility, Gangs of New York etc. Yet still, this was his pinnacle performance in my eyes. And the film on a whole just swims along, ebbing back and forth between calm determination and uncontrolled rage. I love it so much. If you weren't left with a similar feeling, that's fine. I say leave it at that, then. No degree of reading up, analysis and looking for hidden meaning can substitute for a genuine, initial feeling
THIS HAS ABSOLUTELY MADE MY DAY. Greatest film made in the last two decades. It's based off the short novel/story by John Sinclair called OIL! I have the poster which you used for the cover art in my man cave. I always find something new watching this movie. Love your channel Brandon!
In the Name of the Father is another great performance by Daniel Day Lewis. All of his work is great.
gangs of new york is also a must watch from this actor
In the Name of the Father too, Daniel is one of the GOAT's
No that movie is ass
Phantom Thread is the last movie DDL says he'll be in, and his performance is amazing in that as well.
Gangs Of New York is another absolutely brilliant Daniel Day performance!
Fun fact. While testing the pyrotechnics for the oil rig blaze scene, the Coen Brothers were nearby filming wide angle shots for their film: No Country For Old Men, the Coen Brothers had to stop for a day and wait for the smoke to clear.
Yes yes yes! Another movie in my top 5 of all time. Paul Thomas Anderson is my favorite director
I need to see more from him
@@BrandonLikesMovies He only has eight movies and I really recommend all of them. Plus Magnolia and The Master are both on Netflix at the moment
@@BrandonLikesMovies I would highly recommend Magnolia and Boogie Nights :)
that scene where he's scoping out the Bandy plot and talking to the son makes him look like a freaking devil
your a legend buddy great reaction, Daniel Day-Lewis is a method actor
Thank you!
just paused to add this, paul dano wasnt first to play the role, it was some other guy who left cause DDL was just too intense for him to deal with! i found this quote "Kel O'Neill, had been intimidated by Day-Lewis's intensity and habit of staying in character on and off the set"
then look at what he did with lincoln! he was just head and shoulders above the rest. i pray he comes out of retirement.
there will be blood was also my first ever introduction to Daniel Dey Lewis and Paul Thomas Anderson, both who have become my favorites in the movie industry. Daniel Dey Lewis really is the best actor there is out there, his range and realism is unbelievable. Paul Thomas Anderson is an amazing director I've seen all of his films and all of them were great. To list a few that i really love Boogie nights, Magnolia and Phantom Thread. Would really like to see you watch more of his films, they really are true art. Love your reaction videos, makes me feel like i get to relive watching the movies for the first time again. Keep up the good work!
You and I are legit watching the same movies rn
Ayyyy 🎉
Fun fact : it was shot nearly at the same time than No country for Old men, in the same area (1 km away).
In "There will be blood" you can see this thicc smoke, the problem is that this same smoke interupted the shooting of "No country for Old men" due to the wind that brought it on the set.
I recommend Miller’s Crossing. Excellent Cohen Brothers film if you haven’t already seen it.
Appreciate the recommendation!
@@BrandonLikesMovies Brandon, you really should consider getting familiar with Daniel-day Lewis. He's widely considered even among fellow actors and ppl, alike, to be the world's greatest living actor. He won best actor oscar for this film and two others. Lincoln in 2012 and my left foot in 1989. He's the only actor in history to win 3 best actor Oscars. As well, get familiar with paul Thomas Anderson's, the directors work and writing. he rivals the Coen brothers and Quentin tarantino!
@@BrandonLikesMovies Also, Brandon, stop what you're doing NOW, lol and go watch gangs of new York Daniel day Lewis's oscar nominated performance in that, rivals his in there will be blood. hid his performance in both movies are on most lists of the best acting performances of all-time!
So many incredible Coen brothers films to choose from. Miller’s Crossing is one of my faves. I’d also highly recommend their debut film Blood Simple.
@@flatpicker74 Fargo is such an incredible film. Amazing soundtrack as well
I think people call movies perfect far too often and without care but i truly believe this is a perfect movie. The acting, directing, writing, soundtrack, cinematography, editing and story telling are all perfect in my opinion.
Imo that year had a few perfect movies, “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” I think is a perfect movie. I also absolutely love Zodiac. And although I haven’t seen “No Country For Old Men” I’ve heard a lot of people call it a perfect movie
The random page refresh yields results.
You worked your magic!
The actor who played HW as an adult, Russell Harvard, also played the hitman Mr. Wrench in seasons 1 & 3 of Fargo.
It's entirely subjective to say what is the best acting performance of all time. Lots of different opinions. But its very hard to argue that this performance from DDL isn't in the conversation. Its on mosts lists for sure.
I was blown away by his acting!
The Coen Bros. were actually filming No Country For Old Men on the other side of town/the county at the same time as tbis was filming. So when the Oil derrick fire was being filmed for this, it was so large that the Coens had to stop filming for the day. The town was Marfa, TX.
If you're curious about more of Paul Thomas Andersons work, I highly recommend Boogie Nights, The Master, And Magnolia
You said all the things that perfectly capture this movie. Engaging, tense, suspensful. You cant really relax, even during the "happy" parts becouse you know its going to shit soon but not in the way you expect it. The relationship between the two main characters are so unsetteling, you can just feel it. And that acting .. they are both amazing but DDL is just a beast. Love that guy! Cinematagrophy is on poing and the music is so dreadful. Just like you, i was on the edge of my seat the whole time, descpite this being such a low key movie about a guy drilling for oil.
I see others have recommended "Gangs of New York". I would recommend it too. Storywise its not as enthroling as this one, but still entertaining, and worth it just for DDL´s perfomance. He is great in that one too.
Paul Dano is also amazing in this movie, I can't believe he wasn't eeven nominee for his role
If you haven't seen it, you MUST watch Magnolia! I don't quite understand it completely, but it's my favourite film ever. It has so much energy!
Nice relaxing way to end my night. Thanks Brandon!
No problem! That's what I'm here for 😁
One of my favorite Bill Hader impressions is Daniel Plainview in an SNL skit. I saw it before I saw the movie and I thought the "I drink your milkshake!" bit was so funny and crazy it must be exaggerated but then I saw the movie and was like, nope, that's a pretty spot on impression of the character.
Oldboy, Three Billboards outside Ebbing Missouri and The Raid Movies. Your welcome.
😁
@@BrandonLikesMovies I'll second the plug for Oldboy, but add that it *really* shines as the *2nd* part of Park Chan-wook's Vengeance trilogy, and should be viewed in order: Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, Lady Vengeance. You're welcome! ;)
DDL has a fantastic range of accents in every movie he is in; Gangs of New York is another perfect example.
Would love to see you react to more Paul Thomas Anderson movies, specifically Boogie Nights. It's my number 4 movie of all time and is what guided me into the next level of cinema. It was even shot by the same cinematographer Robert Elswit who shot this movie. Again, great reaction and commentary as always, Brandon. Keep it up!
I'll add that one to my watch list! Thanks so much for the support! Happy you're enjoying the videos!
He won his second Oscar on this movie! He is the only Actor to win 3 Oscars as a male leading role! The last one was portraying Lincoln in Lincoln! Your reactions are top notch! Best regards from Brazil!
The next one makes a reaction to boogie nights an excellent movie that is also by paul thomas anderson, very good video as always bro
Thank you 😁
Paul Dano is playing the riddler in the new batman. I wonder how hard he'll get beat up in that one
Can't wait to watch this reaction. It's in my top 5 films all time. Also, while DDL definitely delivers an Oscar-worthy performance, I think Paul Dano would've gotten a lot more praise if he didn't act beside him. His performance is insane but sadly was overshadowed by DDL in the big scheme of things.
And I gotta say, at least for me it only got better on subsequent watchings. You get a better handle on the scope of things, and better yet, the psyche of the characters. I can't begin to tell how many character analysises there have been made about Daniel Plainview.
Paul Thomas Anderson is unquestionably a filmmaker with a very staunch approach to his movies. He's responsible for two of my all-time favorite films: BOOGIE NIGHTS and INHERENT VICE. Both of which I strongly urge you to check out ASAP.
In regards to Daniel and his relationship with H.W., I firmly believe that he actually cared about him up until the point that he lost his hearing. At which point he didn't know how to handle it because it was something he didn't have the patience for, or felt he couldn't manage it along with his profession. Truly a complex and fascinating character if there ever was one on film.
Also if you're looking for a good laugh, type in "SNL I drink your milkshake" into the search bar and watch the first video that pops up. I think you'll get a big kick out of it.
Daniel Day Lewis is English and sounds nothing like that in real life. He was an amazing ability to change his physical demeanor including his voice to suit a roll.
Wow that's incredible!! Some amazing acting to pull off such a convincing and enticing voice
DDL is one of if not THE best actor of the last few decades.

Please do The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford & Into the Wild. Two other incredible films from 2007, which is easily the best year for film so far this century.
Also from 2007: 3:10 to Yuma
It's on my watch list!
What a year in film. Jesse James is another one of the all time great soundtracks along with There Will Be Blood.
I second Assassination of Jesse James, brilliant soundtrack + Roger Deakins on fire
2007 was the second best year this century. Imo 2014 was slightly better (Birdman, Whiplash, Gone Girl, Nightcrawler, Enemy, The Grand Budapest Hotel, etc.)
im so hyped for Paul Dano to play the riddler in the new batman film
You should watch The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)
This movie is one of Paul Thomas Anderson's many gems. He really is one of the best filmmakers of our time. You also need to check out Magnolia and The Master from him. As for Daniel Day Lewis, do I even need to say anything? A true chameleonic actor, every single performance from him is perfection
I truly recommend 'Django Unchained'-it's truly a work of art and an amazing film in every aspect!
"Little bit of a hostile relationship developing there between Daniel and Eli." Felt so good to laugh out loud at that.
“Im finished” …
- my meal
- with Eli
- my domination of the California oil biz
- the movie (dans amazing performance)
The ending is one of the best in movie history IMO
The best part of your videos is you give time after the movie to really sit and talk about it. All other reviewers seem to just go over the highlights of the film and thats it.
I recommend "Baby Driver", directed by Edgar Wright. He, who also did "Scott Pilgrim v. The World" (also recommend), has great cinematography/camera work and re-watch-ability for days.
JagaMyster Yeah, I’d love to see what he thinks of Scott Pilgrim.
Love both of those movies!
The South Park homage to "I'm finished" gave me a belly laugh. Totally unexpected moment in the show :)
I just realized that you havent reacted to the Joker. Check it out!
The title promised blood and the final scene delivered. :)
"I'm finished!" has multiple meanings coming from Plainview, but I think it was also Paul Thomas Anderson being cheeky.
Daniel Day Lewis basically quit acting for the last 20 yrs he has basically only done a film every 3 yrs or so. Like 1 film per great Director lol.
Gangs of New York
Last of Mohicans
Lincoln
My Left Foot
All are Oscar Worthy\ Iconic film level.
Lincoln may or may not be on ppls list but I Forgot I was wasn't watching Lincoln himself, while obviously having no idea what he sounds or behaved like. It was fascinating!
Gangs of New York is Star studded event, Scorsese film that has I on the edge of your seat start to finish!
Last of Mohicans was always one of my favorites from mid 90's before I new who Daniel Day Lewis was.
If your going to ever Binge watch an actor... and with all my personal issues w Hollywood right now. This guy might be only man that I would buy a movie ticket to see right now.
Top 3 to 5 I would guess from last 20 yrs or so on anyone's list I would bet. He is what is right in film.
you left out Phantom Thread which he says is his LAST movie. he went to europe and studied dressmaking for a year before the filming.
@@scarletibis3158 I am sure your correct, I have not seen it yet! But, I do not doubt if this was his last role before he quit or extended break, whatever probably knocked it out of the park!
@@JoeSmith-iv3sf Phantom Thread is a treat to watch and hear. Age of Innocence, also on Netflix, is a worthwhile watch, though not as high caliber as his later works.
I know he’s got his own life, but I hope Daniel Day Lewis returns to acting someday
Age of Innocence is very underated and directed by Scorsese
Daniel Day Lewis is one of the best accent/voice actors in the world. There are several videos on TH-cam where an accent coach analyzes how actors do regional accents, foreign accents or impersonate actual people in films and DDL is definitely a stand out.
My first Paul Thomas Anderson film was The Master which I think is just as good as this film as both were their own fuckin experience, love them to bits. I recommend checking out that film if you haven't already.
That's the only other Paul Thomas Anderson film I've seen
@@BrandonLikesMovies Damn, okay then. You could try Punch Drunk Love (Underrated Adam Sandler's performance) and Boogie Nights.
One interesting thing about the title 'There Will Be Blood'. Anderson sold the idea to Daniel Day Lewis as a horror movie, inspired by Bela Lugosi as Dracula in those very early cinema films and some of the close up shots of Daniels face do seem back this up. Of course, as a metaphor, Daniel feeds on oil rather than blood.
I suppose the "meaning" of the film is that, regardless of whether it's a greedy oil man or a fanatic preacher, America was founded on ruthless business practices.
I love how the first thing we hear from Daniel is a pitch/proposition, a true opportunist.
Johnny Greenwood's score for this film is extraordinary. Filled with wild contradictions, like you said; it always feels like we're trapped inside Daniel's mind, feeling his uneasy thoughts as he slowly goes mad.
Thank you man, this is my favorite movie of all time.
It's a great one!
Probably one of my all time favorites. 2007 was a good year for movies. We got No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, and 3: 10 to Yuma
