Daniel states that he has a competition in him and he does not want anyone to succeed. By killing Eli, he took revenge of his humiliation and also removed a person who was succeeding. The infant boy's father is killed in accident the film's first death , and he is "adopted" taken by Daniel.
We are forced to speculate on Plainview's motivations for taking and keeping H. Toward the end of the film, Daniel throws it in H. In that opening monologue with the large group of people from the surrounding community, Daniel states very clearly that he's "a family man", which would be a great detail to convince others that he's somehow an honest dealer.
Regardless of this attack, which Daniel concludes by repetition of the term "bastard in a basket", it is clarified in an immediate scene that Daniel loved the boy as a son, noted by his reflection on one of their past playful interactions.
Daniel holds both qualities as a user and a loving father in his relationship with H. Sign In. There Will Be Blood Jump to: FAQs 10 Spoilers 2.
What does Daniel say to Eli after the baptism? Is "There Will be Blood" based on a book? Why does Daniel turn down the contract at the beginning of the film? Why are Paul and Eli Sunday played by the same actor? Why does Daniel cover his face with the napkin in the restaurant? What is the piece of classical music which is played during the dedication of the Little Boston oil derrick and during the ending credits, and where can I find a recording of it?
What is the music that begins playing as Plainview carries H. Where can I find more details about the film's music: composers, compositions, etc.? After his father dies in an accident, Daniel makes the most important choice of the film. He chooses H. He creates his own family. He adopts him as his own son , and P. Anderson makes it very clear to us that this original decision, despite whatever follows, was born out of love. There Will Be Blood is a lie, in its way.
Daniel, a mean dude devoid of conscience and heart, is approached by Eli for help getting out of financial trouble. Violence is part of Daniel Plainview's world. It lives and breeds inside him, poisoning his soul. The title promises that as part of the birth of the American love affair with oil, blood will be spilled. No birth can be successful otherwise. Right after the baptism, religious music plays and we see Daniel facing away from camera say something to Eli, who then looks horrified.
I'm guessing either "there will be blood" or something along the lines of "I'm going to eat you", as he later yells " I told you I would eat you! His one thread back to humanity is his son, HW Plainview Dillon Freasier , and eventually he even cuts that so that he's left with only one real connection: his arch-nemesis, fraudulent preacher Eli Sunday Paul Dano.
The climactic confrontation the two have in Daniel's home bowling alley is magnificent. Which, of course, leads us to wonder what happened to Daniel. We don't know if Eli told anyone he was going to see Daniel that day, and it's possible that he told no one. If that's the case, and Daniel's man is loyal, he might be free and clear. But there's also the possibility that young William Bandy, who may already be in Los Angeles, knows about Eli's intentions to go and visit Daniel.
If that's the case and the police come snooping, Daniel could eventually be arrested. Even with that in mind, though, the overall arc of the film suggests that Daniel's vast wealth will, one way or another, continue to support him as the final victor in his struggle against Eli.
Shortly before he murders Eli Sunday in his basement bowling alley, Daniel Plainview gets a visit from his son, H. Daniel blusters at this idea, berates H. A short while later, Daniel becomes a murderer for the second time that we know of, Eli's body is in his bowling alley, and we don't know what happens next.
Now, it's certainly possible that Daniel's wealth and power could essentially buy him immunity from arrest and prosecution for Eli's murder. It's even possible that some of his hired men could simply make the body disappear entirely. But what happens if Daniel actually does go down for killing Eli? What if his last sin is the one that finally dooms him? If that's the case, it's quite possible that H.
With no official paperwork in place to dissolve their relationship. There Will Be Blood spends a great deal of time setting up and then paying off a major conflict between two powerful men — the capitalist Daniel Plainview and the minister Eli Sunday. Their standoff begins when Eli exploits Daniel for money for his church, then continues as Eli publicly shames Daniel in exchange for pipeline rights.
Of course, years later, Daniel ultimately gets the last word, and he gets to both shame Eli and then murder him. Their struggle, played out across nearly two decades, makes up both the emotional backbone of the film and the thematic one, because ultimately, it's a struggle of capitalism vs. In the end, Daniel wins this struggle because he's willing to give in to Eli's faith when it suits him, only to turn his back on it later.
When Eli gives in to his own capitalist nature, though, he lacks the fortitude to handle it, whereas Daniel has long since sold his soul to oil.
I'm kind of equal opportunity confused and rooting for the best sides of both. So, there are no easy answers at the end of the this conflict. First and foremost, Daniel himself said that he never liked much people.
He was essentially a sociopath, a man so driven by his ambition that he could not see others succeed. That is why, in a fit of drunken rage, he goes ahead and kills him.
During an incident, he became deaf because of the loud explosion. There Will Be Blood accurately reveals the strong resistance to basic Christian principles of charity and fellowship and equitable distribution of wealth that made capitalist barons like Daniel Plainview not a hero of the Sunday sermons across America around the turn of the century, but the villains to preach against….
Daniel killed his own step-brother because he felt betrayed by him, he disowned his own son because he felt threatened by his business ventures, and finally at the end of the movie, Daniel kills Eli as an act of taking revenge. The whole of the last scene of the movie essentially revolves around vengeance….
