There Will Be Blood

There Will Be Blood, featuring an Oscar-winning performance by Daniel Day-Lewis, charts the ruthless rise of Daniel Plainview. Starting as a silver miner, Plainview transitions to oil prospecting during the Southern California oil boom. His capitalist ambition is boundless, and he will stop at nothing to secure land and dominance. His path crosses with Eli Sunday, a young, zealous preacher whose own ambition for power and influence in the burgeoning oil boom community creates a fierce rivalry. The conflict between Daniel Plainview and Eli Sunday in There Will Be Blood escalates over years, representing the brutal clash between material and spiritual power. The film is a masterful epic about oil prospecting, religion, and the dark heart of the American dream, culminating in an iconic and explosive finale featuring the famous milkshake speech that perfectly encapsulates Plainview’s terrifying capitalist ambition.
