The original mis-named Mark Zuckerberg as Mark Zuckerman. A sprawling epic of family, faith, power and oil, THERE WILL BE BLOOD is set on the incendiary frontier of California's turn-of-the-century petroleum boom.
This article was amended on 13 September 2019. What a spectacle Anderson and Day-Lewis create: a portrait of male belligerence and fear, a Tutankhamun of misery, walled up in his own sarcophagus of wealth and prestige. But from 2016, there has been a raging Plainview in plain sight in the White House: Trump, the eccentric property billionaire and spoilt baby whose cranky tweets are as crazy as Plainview’s deranged “milkshake” pronouncement. There Will Be Blood may itself have been an influence on The Social Network, directed by David Fincher, in which Jesse Eisenberg’s Mark Zuckerberg is driven by resentment and rage to create the social media world that now rules our lives.

It could also be that Anderson was inspired by Nicolas Roeg’s underrated movie Eureka from 1983, based on a true story, with Gene Hackman as the super-rich Arctic prospector Jack McCann, who was eventually to face loneliness and a grisly death. And so that means Daniel cannot access the oil beneath that land. From 2016, there has been a raging Plainview in plain sight in the White House: Trump One single section of land within a larger section of land he had made deals with. After finding the silver ore, he drags himself out of the mine and into town to sell it. After blasting out the small mine with dynamite, Plainview falls and breaks his leg. A man named Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis) works his silver mine. Like Kane, Plainview is a man whose distinction resides in not having something extra but something missing, a gap where his heart should be, a spiritual imbalance generating neurotic, self-destructive energy. The story opens in 1898 in the New Mexico wilderness. This scene, along with one showing Plainview theatrically driving a stake through a claim map in front of investors, is perhaps there to make us think of Welles’s Charles Kane, the entrepreneur as performative capitalist, bully and showoff.

Often cited as one of the best films of the 21st century so far, Paul Thomas Andersons magnificent oil-prospecting saga There Will Be Blood gave Daniel. ‘A story of male toxicity without any real female dimension’ … Dillon Freasier and Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood.
