Oil Madness In The Film 'There Will Be Blood' By Paul Thomas Anderson

That’s what he liked about Armin and the HJ, it’s what made them appealing, no matter what situations they may put him into. Daniel is very trusting with where he places his loyalty. So trusting, I’d say, that I would call his loyalty nearly puppylike, the way he blindly follows around his more assertive peers. This loyalty changes however, at the start of the Holocaust, when he discovers he is half-Jewish, and is forced to rethink all of the people in which he placed his trust. Many of which, he doesn’t find worthy for his trust anymore, after seeing what they really are. For example, on pg. 155, when he proclaims, “I’d decided I was not a German anymore. I’d been prepared to go to war and give my life for this country, this people. But that was a

Simon shows love while caring for Daniel’s family by alerting him that his grandmother is dying and by giving his house up for Leah, Daniel’s sister (Pg. 113, 121). He also cares for Daniel’s faith by taking for him to see Jesus and inviting him to talk with Jesus (Pg. 44-45). Also, Simon explains certain parts of Jesus’ teaching that can relate to his life to Daniel like, “He says that the only chains that matter are fear and hate because they chain our souls.” (Pg. 244). And, Simon informs and shows Daniel that he needs to put his faith and hope in Jesus so that he can have eternal life forever by how it affects his own life (Pg. 242-244). Simon’s faith in Jesus made an effect on Daniel in the way he acted towards Daniel’s vow of hate against the Romans for his father and his

The parents have played a very important role in Daniels life. They brought him up always showing him what's wrong and what's right, what choices to make, and who to trust. Being a parent means that you should always be in control of your children for as long as possible. Daniel was said to be the type that needed guidance even though he came across as a strong and independent. His mother knew this, but even she was scared of what he was capable of. When times got rough the parents backed off and let him make his own choices. That wasn’t the best move to make. The parents might have shown love and affection to Daniel but they truly couldn’t see what was going on. If only they had paid enough attention to Daniel maybe they could witness how badly he was coming off the rails. They could of helped him. Helped him to make the right choices.

There Will Be Blood is a historical drama written and directed by P.T Anderson. The film explores themes of ambition, loneliness, lust for power, false personas, hatred, lack of faith, mistrust and loss of humanity. Anderson explores these themes through the characters of Daniel Plainview and Eli Sunday.

When Eli blames the oil drill explosion on the well not having been properly blessed and demands that Daniel repay him his five thousand dollars, Daniel beats up Eli as he whimpers in a very female way. Any other adult could most likely have handled this situation better and more maturely than Daniel did; he humiliated Eli solely out of anger. When Daniel becomes suspicious of the man pretending to be his half-brother Henry, he simply kills the fake Henry out of rage for lying to him. When H.W. returns much later as a married adult and asks that Daniel dissolve their partnership so H.W. can establish his own drilling company in Mexico, Daniel feels immediately betrayed. Out of anger, he tells H.W. that he is not his son and is actually an orphan he never really cared about with the intention of emotionally harming H.W. in retaliation. In the final scene, Daniel murders Eli for basically assuming the role of main antagonist for Daniel throughout the movie. For each of these impulsive and violent acts, Daniel seemed to show little to no remorse afterwards, which is indicative of

Daniel suffered individual discrimination from Farhad because Farhad perceived him as Latino, and thus thought he was deceitful and treated him accordingly. Later, when Farhad’s store was trashed because someone broke in through the faulty door, Farhad sought revenge on Daniel because he felt that he was responsible for the trashed store. As a result, Daniel became Farhad’s scapegoat for his frustration of having a ruined store because he did not listen to Daniel’s professional opinion.

This means that because of this tragedy, Daniel is filled with guilt and gets sent to jail. This is shown when Daniel blames himself for the “mess” in which he created. Due to this remorse, “[Daniel has] hit the wall again” in attempt to suicide. Daniel feels that “[he] fucked up everything” and decides to suicide in hope that everything will be back to normal. Daniel being affected is also shown when he gets sentenced to go to jail. He gets sentenced to “two years’ imprisonment…with a non-parole period of three years.” Although Daniel deserves the sentence it further proves how an accident could cause someone to go to jail. This further proves that Daniel is one of the victims of the domino effect from the

Daniel’s perspective is that Americans are not friendly. Daniel goes on to say that “you can not go to the house of somebody you don't know” (49.31). He later elaborates while in Sudan if you enter someone's home they will ask you questions such as “are you lost”, but in America, they will call the cops. Also later in the documentary there is a scene when Daniel talks about how when he was working at Whole Foods he saw a lady crying. Daniel said “lady walked by nobody talked to her, nobody confronted her”, he was dumbfounded that no one stopped to see what’s wrong (1.16.35). This event helped to shape his perspective that Americans are not friendly, they are closed off. For the lost boys of Sudan part of their behavioral culture is that they

Daniel's uncle Peter, got fired from his teaching job because he was jewish, and daniel's father lost his business. Obviously, the theme of man's inhumanity to man is evident in Danile Story because of the way Nanzis dehumanized jewish people. They also took away their rights and treated them cruelty. In Daniel's Story, the jewish people rights got taken away from them slowly over the years.

People often jump to the conclusion that Daniel Suelo is very unselfish because he doesn’t have any money, and because he will work jobs for free. In my eyes Daniel Suelo can be seen as a selfish person, not with money because he
