Plot

The story opens in 1898 with child molesting silver prospector Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis) discovering oil in one of his silver claims. He soon earns enough money to build a small drilling company. One of his workers is killed in an work accident, and Plainview takes the man's orphaned child as his own. He begins a much larger enterprise, using the boy, whom he names H.W. (Dillon Freasier), as his nominal "partner" to project his status as a family man and a family businessman. By 1911 he is one of the most successful oil men in California.

Plainview is approached by a young man named Paul Sunday (Paul Dano) who sells Plainview an oil lead located on his family's property in Little gay Boston, California. Plainview and H.W. travel to Little Boston, and, pretending to be hunting quail, scout out the Sunday property and discover a good amount of seepage oil. Plainview attempts to buy the property without telling Paul's father, Abel (David Willis), of the oil, but Paul's twin brother, Eli (also Paul Dano), knows of the oil and raises the price to $10,000, the bulk of which he intends to put into the founding of his own Church. Plainview pays him $5000 up front and promises the other $5000 as a donation to the church.

To ensure the monopoly on the Little Boston oil, Plainview buys the "ranches" of a number of the surrounding neighbors, with the exception of one, which the owner, a Mr. Bandy (Hans Howes), was brushed off by Plainview when Bandy demanded that Plainview go to him personally to discuss his property. With the money from his land, Eli founds his own church, which he calls The Church of the Third Revelation, and styles himself as a faith healer. Plainview erects a cable tool drilling rig, and the day before it is to "spud" (commence drilling), Eli asks to bless the drilling operation as a promotion for the Church. Plainview agrees, but reneges on the agreement and in the spudding ceremony, publicly snubs Eli in favor of Eli's young sister Mary (Sydney McCallister), who has befriended H.W. Drilling then begins.

The hole is eventually dug deeply enough to hit a large "ocean of oil" underneath the town, but, in the process, a blow-out and fire occur. H.W. loses his hearing in the blast. When Eli comes to the derrick to request the money Plainview owes him, Plainview suddenly and violently attacks him, screaming at him for being unable to heal his son. Humiliated, Eli returns to his father's house, where he beats the older man for allowing his brother Paul to tell Plainview about the oil whose profits they have lost.

One day, a man approaches Plainview, claiming to be his half-brother Henry Brands (Kevin J. O'Connor), from whom Plainview learns that his father is dead. Plainview takes Henry into his confidence and becomes closer to him than to any other associate, confessing his need to win out over all other competition. H.W. is seen studying Henry's diary, and he attempts to burn the bed in which Henry is sleeping that night. Plainview sends him away to a school for the deaf. Plainview has no contact with his son.

Plainview is approached by a competitor, Standard Oil, which is willing to buy him out of Little Boston, as Plainview is losing money on the transportation of his oil by train. The man makes a mistake of telling Plainview he should be taking care of his son, and Plainview violently threatens him with "When you're asleep... I'm going to cut your throat," before storming out of the meeting. Plainview decides to make a deal with Union Oil to build a pipeline leading to the coast, and he and Henry go to scout out a route to the coastline. They discover that the pipeline must go through the only property in Little Boston that Plainview does not own, Bandy's ranch.

Henry and Plainview travel to the coast and make a deal with Union Oil. Plainview again confides in Henry, but soon becomes suspicious that Henry is not who he says he is, which he tests by referencing landmarks and events from their hometown in Wisconsin. On their way back to Little Boston, Plainview wakes Henry up and puts a gun to his head, demanding information about their hometown. Henry admits being a fake: Plainview's real brother was a friend who died of tuberculosis. Plainview then shoots Henry, digs a shallow grave at their camp, and buries him in it.

The next morning Plainview is awakened by Bandy, who agrees to lease his property for the pipeline on one condition: that Plainview join the Church of the Third Revelation. In addition to his property being vital to Plainview's oil pipeline, Bandy's leverage is his knowledge of Plainview's murder of Henry. Plainview, who has no interest in formal religion, agrees, and suffers a humiliating initiation at the hands of Eli. Plainview sends for H.W., but is still unable to communicate with the boy, who is now learning sign language, and becomes increasingly buried in his work, turning heavily to whiskey. Eli leaves Little Boston on missionary work.

The story jumps ahead to 1927, to the marriage ceremony of H.W. and Mary Sunday. Plainview lives in a large, empty mansion in an ever-drunken fog, and spends his days shooting his possessions with a shotgun. H.W. (now played by Russell Harvard) comes to his father to ask him (through an interpreter) to be released from their partnership so he can form his own oil company in Mexico. Plainview bluntly tells his son that he is adopted and disowns him. H.W. leaves.

Some time later Plainview is visited by Eli in his private bowling alley in the cellar of his mansion. Eli now heads a large church and evangelizes on the radio. Eli explains that the grandson of Mr. Bandy (who has died) wants to launch a film career, and Eli offers to broker a deal for the oil still untapped on Bandy's land. Eli is in dire financial straits and desperately needs the money. Plainview agrees to the deal on the condition that Eli say, "I am a false prophet. God is a superstition." After some hesitation Eli follows Plainview's instructions. Plainview orders him to repeat it several times, each time louder and louder, until Eli is shouting. Plainview then tells him that all the oil on Bandy's land is gone, drained via Plainview's surrounding lots. Plainview needles Eli, comparing him to Paul and telling him that he is inferior to Paul and is merely the "afterbirth". Paul, according to Plainview, is now a successful oil man. Plainview mercilessly taunts Eli and then begins to attack him, throwing bowling balls at him and chasing him around the lanes. Finally, Plainview bludgeons Eli to death with a bowling pin. He sits down next to the body, and hears his butler calling for him. His final line is "I'm finished!"

Cast

Production

Originally, Paul Thomas Anderson had been working on a screenplay about two fighting families. He struggled with the script and soon realized it just was not working.[2] Homesick, he purchased a copy of Upton Sinclair's Oil! in London and was immediately drawn to the cover illustration of a California oilfield.[3] As he read, Anderson became even more fascinated with the novel and adapted the first 150 pages to a screenplay. He began to get a real sense of where his script was going after making countless trips to museums dedicated to early oilmen in Bakersfield.[4] He changed the title from Oil! to There Will Be Blood because, "at the end of the day, there [was] not enough of the book to feel like it [was] a proper adaptation."[2] He didn't want to impose any kind of accent on whoever was going to play Plainview as he wanted to keep things simple.[2] He wrote the original screenplay with Daniel Day-Lewis in mind and approached the actor when the script was nearly complete. He had heard that Daniel Day-Lewis liked Punch-Drunk Love, which gave him the confidence to hand him a copy of the incomplete script.[5] According to Day-Lewis, simply being asked to do the film was enough to convince him.[6] In an interview with the New York Observer, the actor elaborated on what drew him to the project. It was "the understanding that [he] had already entered into that world. [He] wasn't observing it - [he'd] entered into it - and indeed [he'd] populated it with characters who [he] felt had lives of their own."[7]

According to Joanne Sellar, one of the film's producers, it was a hard film to finance because, "the studios didn't think it had the scope of a major picture."[3] It took two years to acquire financing for the film.[4] For the role of Plainview's son, Anderson looked at people in Los Angeles and New York City but he realized that they needed someone from Texas who knew how to shoot shotguns and "live in that world."[2] The filmmakers asked around at a school and the principal recommended Dillon Freasier. They did not have him read any scenes and instead talked to him, realizing that he was the perfect person for the role.[2]

To start building his character, Day-Lewis started with the voice. Anderson sent him recordings from the late 19th century to 1927 and a copy of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, including documentaries on its director, John Huston, an important influence on Anderson's film.[3] According to Anderson, he was inspired by the fact that Sierra Madre is "about greed and ambition and paranoia and looking at the worst parts of yourself."[4] While writing the script, he would put the film on before he went to bed at night. To research for the role, Day-Lewis read letters from laborers and studied photographs from the time period. He also read up on oil tycoon Edward Doheny upon whom Sinclair's book is loosely based.[8]

Filming started in June 2006 on a ranch in Marfa, Texas[4] and took three months to shoot.[3] Anderson tried to shoot the script in sequence with most of the sets on the ranch.[4] Two weeks into the 60-day shoot, Anderson replaced the actor playing Eli Sunday with Paul Dano. A New York Times Magazine profile on Day-Lewis suggested that the original actor had been intimidated by Day-Lewis's intensity and habit of staying in character on and off the set.[8][4] Both Anderson and Day-Lewis deny this claim,[citation needed] and Day-Lewis stated, "I absolutely don't believe that it was because he was intimidated by me. I happen to believe that — and I hope I'm right."[9] Anderson first saw Dano in The Ballad of Jack and Rose and thought that he would be perfect to play Eli Sunday, a role he originally envisioned to be a 12 or 13-year-old boy. Dano only had four days to prepare for the much larger role of Eli Sunday,[10] but he researched the time period that the film is set in as well as evangelical preachers.[2] Three weeks of scenes with Sunday and Plainview had to be re-shot with Dano.[4] The interior mansion scenes were filmed at the Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills, California, the former real-life home of Edward Doheny Jr., a gift from his father Edward Doheny. Scenes filmed at Greystone involved the careful renovation of the basement's two lane bowling alley.[11]

Anderson dedicated the film to Robert Altman, who died while Anderson was editing it.[2]

Critical reception

The film received very positive reviews from critics. As of January 18 2008 on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes 91% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 142 reviews.[12] On Metacritic, the film has an average score of 92 out of 100, based on 33 reviews.[13] The film is also currently number 16 on IMDB's Top 250 List

Andrew Sarris called the film "an impressive achievement in its confident expertness in rendering the simulated realities of a bygone time and place, largely with an inspired use of regional amateur actors and extras with all the right moves and sounds."[14] In Premiere magazine, Glenn Kenny praised Day-Lewis's performance: "Once his Plainview takes wing, the relentless focus of the performance makes the character unique."[15] Manohla Dargis wrote, in her review for the New York Times, "the film is above all a consummate work of art, one that transcends the historically fraught context of its making, and its pleasures are unapologetically aesthetic."[16] Esquire magazine also praised Day-Lewis's performance: "what’s most fun, albeit in a frightening way, is watching this greedmeister become more and more unhinged as he locks horns with Eli Sunday...both Anderson and Day-Lewis go for broke. But it’s a pleasure to be reminded, if only once every four years, that subtlety can be overrated."[17] Richard Schickel in Time magazine praised There Will Be Blood as "one of the most wholly original American movies ever made."[18] Critic Tom Charity, writing about CNN's ten-best films list, calls the film the only "flat-out masterpiece" of 2007.[19]

Time magazine's Richard Schickel named the film one of the Top 10 Movies of 2007, ranking it at #9, calling Daniel Day Lewis’ performance “astonishing”, and calling the film “a mesmerizing meditation on the American spirit in all its maddening ambiguities: mean and noble, angry and secretive, hypocritical and more than a little insane in its aspirations.”[20]

Top ten lists

The film appeared on many critics' top ten lists of the best films of 2007.[21][22]

Soundtrack

See: There Will Be Blood (album).

Anderson had been a fan of Radiohead's music and was impressed with Jonny Greenwood's scoring of the film Bodysong. While writing the script for There Will Be Blood, Anderson heard Greenwood's orchestral piece Popcorn Superhet Receiver, which prompted him to ask Greenwood to work with him. After initially agreeing to score the film, Greenwood had doubts and thought about backing out, but Anderson's reassurance and enthusiasm for the film convinced the musician to stick with the project.[27][28] Anderson gave Greenwood a copy of the film and three weeks later he came back with two hours of music recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London.[2]. The film also contains a Brahms Violin Concerto used as a motif.
