so i watched "there will be blood" again today.
upon first viewing, my favorite sequence was that of daniel day lewis and paul dano at the end of the movie in the bowling alley.
that changed when i watched it again.
now, my favorite sequence starts when daniel plainview and his supposed long lost half brother are swimming in the ocean and talking of their old family home. through the conversation daniel realizes this man is not his brother. you see, daniel knows he is an evil man, well maybe not evil, but uncaring and cold, so he takes in his pathetic half brohter and offers him work. we see daniel floating in the waves as his brother sits in the sand, and daniel is furious. he floats in the water angrily.
that, my friends, that is a fucking scene.
between that and the next scene as daniel sits in a bar and leers at his brother, he does not speak. but we can tell he is going to murder him.
without one word being spoken.
my god, it gives me chills.
daniel day lewis has given what is my favorite performance in my movie viewing history.
so, i sketched as i watched.
this doesn't really look like him, but i plan on doing a vector portrait.
i won't do his portrayal any justice, i mean, it is tough to capture the fury in his eyes with a computer, but i'll do my best.
see this fucking movie, people, for me, see it.
