FIRST TIME WATCHING: There Will Be Blood (2007) REACTION (Movie Commentary) 

One of my favorite movies. No frills just quality

Absolutely mesmerizing performance by Daniel Day Lewis. Even after seeing him in others roles, when I watch this movie again, all I see onscreen is Daniel Plainview.

12:03 It is a weird interaction, but in my opinion it was because the father was right there, it was a move to show dominance how he was so much powerful than him being the father. Like "Its your daughter but if I say you would never hit her again"

"In the name of the Father", "My left foot", "The last of the Mohicans", "Lincoln", "Gangs of New York", "The Age of Innocence", "The Crucible", Daniel Day Lewis is probably the last of the truly great ones. Great reaction!

Paul Dano is such a good actor man, the one who was supposed to play one of the siblings just left the project 1 week before the start of the shooting, so Paul Dano offered himself to play twins. Huge balls

I do a dead-on Plainview impersonation, but my wife hates this movie, and she has told me that she will divorce me if I do it in her presence ever again. Make of that what you will.

One of the best character study films ever made.

I'm 42 and i never took the time to watch this till recently...man, did i miss a gem.

It's hard to believe you haven't seen this. Daniel Day Lewis is perhaps the most amazing, transformative actors I have ever seen. He is unrecognizable from one performance to the next and from soft spoken Irishman he is. Like Oldman his dialects are spectacular.

6:50 Yes people used to live by their word, because your word was your value as a man, imagine that.

A masterclass in acting from Daniel Day-lewis! Paul Dano also putting on a clinic. Such a good movie, well deserving of all its accolades.

Absolutely stunning performance by Daniel Day Lewis. He also transformed himself into Abraham Lincoln in “Lincoln”. Incredible actor.

It's really not his son. It was his first partner's when he died in the well. He just used the boy until he was not useful anymore.

I personally saw this movie for the first time about 4 months ago and have watched it many times since. One of my personal favorites. A movie that must be watched more then once to truly understand its meanings.

This is literally my favourite film and it is so good to see a reaction to it. As good as No Country for Old Men is, it pains me that this isn't as well know because I think it's far superior.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s other films are also incredible and worth watching. Especially Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love, Boogie Nights, and Phantom Thread.

Oh man, I just realized: this is a Paul Thomas Anderson movie, which means you've got to do his OTHER masterpiece of masterpieces, the movie that put him on the map: "Boogie Nights". COMPLETELY different movie, and a GIANT stacked cast. WILD movie, a total party of a movie. HIGHLY recommending "Boogie Nights", you'd KILL on "Boogie Nights". Takes place in the 70s-early 80s Los Angeles porn scene. That is a MUST see.

YES!!!! Dude, so good to see someone react to something that not everyone else reacts to, and also that is generally regarded as one of the best films of this century so far. Certainly by me! I'm dropping everything to watch this right now!!!! PSYCHED!

Anyone who loves this movie needs to read the book it's based on," oil" by Upton Sinclair, its truly a masterpiece

As of now this my favorite film of all time. How it places you in that place abd times reminds me of why I love the work of Robert Eggers today specifically.

Masterpiece in film making.

Excellent performance by Daniel Day Lewis. Just excellent. You should also check out Phantom Thread also starring Daniel Day Lewis and directed by his There Will Be Blood director Paul Thomas Anderson which is Daniel's last big screen performance before he announced his retirement from acting in 2017.

This movie gets under my skin (in a good way). I can't even explain it. It's Eerie, fascinating, horrific, superb...

Best Stanley Kubrick film Stanley Kubrick never made.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I love your videos because you're so naive and ignorant with what movies you know of and which actors you can recognize. I appreciate your honesty about it and how you're making a massive effort to learn more about cinema and experience all these movies and you're able to make something out of it all. Keep being you and we will keep watching and enjoying these films all over again vicariously through you. Cheers!

Nominated for 9 Oscars including Best Picture but won for Best Actor Daniel Day Lewis and Best Cinematography.

I _think_ you may have missed that the awkward “no more hitting” scene with Mary was intentional because he’s doing right in front of her father effectively telling _him_ he better not hit her anymore. It seemed like you were more thinking it was a tad bit of a creepy interaction with a little girl.

Daniel Day Lewis is a maniac. The true GOAT.

It’s always surprises me when someone doesn’t know Daniel, he’s by far one of the greatest actors to ever lived

Yes!! I've been hoping you'd catch this! Incredible story, film, performances!

I know nowadays hes canceled, but this is one of Kanye West favourites movies (also mine), I just found it so interesting because I see so much of Kanye in Daniel Day-Lewis character.

"Whatever they're looking for, I hope it's worth it."

The score/soundtrack of the movie was written by Johnny Greenwood from the (now) classic band Radiohead.

"These... people" I felt that in the theater. The way he has to force that word out like it hurts. Yeah. I get it.

Excellent! Paul Thomas Anderson is one of my favorite writer/directors. This incredible character dynamic is also seen in his 2012 "The Master" with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix. And Daniel Day Lewis is also a powerhouse in Scorcese's brutal "Gangs Of New York" (2002) and the exquisite period drama "The Age of Innocence" (1993)

So glad somebody finally reacted to this masterpiece, been recommending it to all my favorite reactors for probably 5 years

It’s rare to see someone notice all the nuances on their first watch. Kudos. Smart man!

I love this movie

Daniel Day Lewis is the greatest actor of all time. And this is his crowning achievement.

Man you really do pick the best movies to watch! If you want more amazing DDL performances check out In the Name of the Father, The Boxer, Gangs of New York and the Last of the Mohicans. He's phenomenal

As Mr. Burns once famously said "Family, religions, friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business."

I drink your reaction.

Incredible film, I’m intrigued to see your opinion of the performances of Paul Dano and Daniel Day-Lewis!

Awesome, a true masterpiece and my favorite film. It's astonishing.

This film is a had watch. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I saw it upon release. It was a life altering experience, cinematically speaking. It's one I would love to watch all the way through again, but it's such an intense experience...lol a brilliant film.

One of my top 5 favorites. Such a unique movie on many levels.

Dude, I got CHILLS when you started clapping at the end! We know how you feel though! And he's BRITISH!!! (so is the guy who plays his main assistant. Those Brits can pull off American accents, jeez!). Don't feel bad, MOST of us were confused about Paul Dano playing both parts of the twins. He was only supposed to do the small part in the beginning, but the other actor dropped out and he took over as Eli with only two days notice! Every time I see this movie, I just think "this poor guy is winging it, he's acting completely on instinct......and in a period piece! In a movie that he would have done tons of research for, like he would later do for stuff like "12 Years A Slave" or playing Brian Wilson in "Love And Mercy". The kid was fantastic. He pops up on You Tube sometimes, as a commenter! He's all grown up now, I hope he sees this reaction! He's a really cool dude. (So are you. GREAT reaction!!!)

If this is your first Daniel Day Lewis film, you really should watch more asap. You will quickly realize that Daniel Day Lewis is not one of these actors that plays himself in his movies. Think about Anthony Hopkins, Robert Deniro, Al Pachino, Denzel, Tom Hanks....... these are all phenomenal actors. But you still pretty much know what you're going to get from them (in my opinion). Daniel Day Lewis was not Daniel Day Lewis in this movie at all. He was 100% Daniel Plainview. The mannerisms, the accent, the depth of his voice, the way his body moved in "There Will Be Blood", you will not see or hear in any of his other films. He completely transforms for each of his roles. The only other actor that I would put on the level of Daniel Day Lewis is Gary Oldman. Anyway, if you have not already seen them, I would highly recommend reacting to "Last of the Mohicans" and "Lincoln" as soon as you can. His performance in "Gangs of New York" is unbelievably good but Leonardo and Cameron Diaz ruined that movie in my opinion.

I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE

Thanks for another great reaction. Definitely check out the rest of Day Lewis’ performances and especially PT Anderson’s catalog of great films. Boogie Nights is one of my faves!

this was a great reaction with good insight im subscribing. thanks sir

Great analysis.

Whats funny is in that scene at 26:33 the kid was struggling not to piss himself laughing.

Great movies with Daniel Day-Lewis, is 'The Last of the Mohicans' ❤️ and 'Gangs of New York'

Daniel day Lewis does an excellent job in the movie the Gangs of New York.

Robert Elswit shot the shit out of this film. The lighting is a particular standout.

Daniel day Lewis is one of the best working actors

Watch Gangs of New York for another stellar DDL performance

This is easily in my top 10 favourite movies of all time.

I just hope you realized that the kid wasn't his actual son. He really did "save" the baby when his father died in a drilling accident at the beginning

You are the Man Caped Informer!

Daniel Day Lewis never made a bad film!

Not familiar with D Day-Lewis? Remedy that.

Imo one of the greatest movies ever made, including ''In the Name of the Father'' with another incredible Daniel Day-Lewis performance, plus Pete Postlethwaite is almost equally as good like Day-Lewis, as is Paul Dano in ''There Will Be Blood''.

DRAAAAAAIIIIIIIINAGE!!!!!! love this movie.

Great film , thanks for the reaction

The father and son relationship change when the Son turn deaf. One of the sad part for me. Things would have been different. They would have been a happy family at the end.

One of the greatest actors ever !

If he granted one request the requests would have kept on coming.

DDL is exceptional…. My favorite actor for sure. The whole Paul/Eli thing is weird (I had same experience as you), but really helps keep us on our toes…a cool creative choice!

This movie is perfect

Danial day Lewis is a treasure. such an acting range, like no other. A Room With A View, Ganga Of New York, Lincoln, Last Of The Mohicans. Watch a few more of his movies. Really good stuff! 🙂

Greatest actor ever!

Well done.

One Godamn hell of show.

Daniel day lewis is the man! Gotta check out gangs of new york next 💯

The man the myth the legend DDL

The soundtrack is intense.

Awesome movie

There was no way to tell his stepson he had to send him away. And he felt guilty about it. Thats why he threatened to kill the guy telling how to handle the kid.

No country for old men and there will be blood where filmed in the exact same location at the same exact time and have the same exact vibe also there my two favorite films

You gotta watch Lincoln. DD Lewis is phenomenal in it.

classic film .DDL gave his best performance.

Daniel Plainview is goated

Daniel realized he couldn’t “win”. So all he had left was to make others lose. The “competition” is fueled by self loathing

My favorite movie. Eli uses people by pretending to be religious. Daniel uses everyone around him to make him rich including his "son". They both try to appear as one thing but are really another. And both are only looking to make money.

You should definitely watch "In the Name of the Father".

This is a good one! Should also check out Gangs of New York, if you're able.

Plainview is a monster. But he did care for his son. Thats the tragedy

Now watch Daniel Day Lewis on The Last of the Mohicans, you won’t believe it’s the same actor. I was so immersed in this character, I really think this film is his best.

You should watch 'The last of the Mohicans' and 'gangs of new york' Daniel Day-Lewis is amazing in them

At its core, this film is about the two most malevolent, corrupting forces in the modern world: religion and capitalism. Daniel and Eli are human avatars of those systems. Both seek to dominate their environment and only one can come out on top. Capitalism wins in the end, of course, but it's a hollow victory. Daniel will die miserable and alone. He's such an extreme embodiment of greed, sociopathy and sadism that he's incapable of connecting with other human beings and realizing that he's missing out on everything that makes life worth living.

Great movie but you can't compare it to No country for old man, they have completely distinctive style. Slow story here spanning over 20 years. Daniel Day Lewis also shines in Gangs of New-York (2002). I think H.W. was not his son (we see his real dad get killed at some point) but he kept him around for sympathy (good for business) as Daniel say at end of movie.

Daniel Day Lewis at his absolute best, great reaction.

Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the finest actors.

Come ON! I watched this whole video to see how you’d react to “I drink your milkshake” and you skipped it!? That’s like reacting to Terminator 2 and skipping “I’ll be back”. Party foul. I’ll still watch all your shit tho.

Any plans for Game of Thrones?

Drainage! lol

I'm not saying Paul Dano carried this movie, but he sure made it better than if he wasn't in it. One of the great performances that is never talked about.

18:36 he serious?
