"California doesn't look like California on film. You gotta use Texas." "What if you need Texas?" "Eh usually we just tape a bunch of New Mexico together".
"We've got to do the I drink your milkshake scene again, Daniel." "But we already did it. It took seven hours, but we did it. It's done. " "Yes! But we've got to do it from different angles. Again and again! And again and again and again!"
This was excellent. That scene mesmerized me more than any in recent memory, every part of it was cinematic brilliance. And now to be able to get a bit of insight as to what it took to create it is an immeasurable bonus. Thank you for your dedication and efforts into bringing us the often complicated art of filmmaking.
Your stuff blows me away. This movie has become one of my absolute favorites and as much as I like to investigate film, I can't see myself doing all of this in depth research on my own. Great editing, great narration, always interesting, thank you.
I loved how at the time of this film’s release, a lot of people felt this film should have been called NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN and the Cohen film should be retitled THERE WILL BE BLOOD.
TheSuperQuail you don’t remember the ending? The entire point of the movie was the attempt of one man to have something to show for himself and to have some to leave behind... a legacy. Even when his “son” tries to burn him alive in his sleep, he doesn’t throw him away... completely. He sends him off to an academy, but still considers him a son. When his son refuses his inheritance because he wants to start his own business _without any help,_ Plainfield sees him as a threat to everything he built up. He thinks by revealing that he was never his son (a bastard in a basket) that it would gut him... instead, it’s as if he freed his “son” from having any guilt to leaving him to (s)molder away in his empty mansion/crypt. Even the one person Plainfield might consider a nemesis (Paul Dano) is completely undermined (literally) and destroyed, so by the end he is completely finished, as there is nothing left for him to live for, nothing to leave behind, nor anyone to leave it to or even anyone to remember him. When Plainfield dies, he will truly be dead, and all of his hard work to build an empire will be for nothing.
@@TheRealNormanBates Daniel Plainview, not Plainfield. I can see the name swap happening, but I imagine it as more about the 'old ways' of men. Plainview is the innovator and provider here, much like Eli Whitney and Henry Ford. He craves prosperity, but he earns it from his labor; Eli has to feed off of this prosperity, and it is his downfall. However, No Country For Old Men still works far better as the Coen Bros movie title. Tommy Lee Jones' character is truly outmatched. Both Bardem and Brolin's characters are involved in crime circles far outside of what Jones is prepared for.
There's an incredible sense of doom and impending catastrophe running throughout the film but this particular scene really did feel like an end of the world sequence. It's so 'in your face' and claustrophobic despite being filmed on open land. A real masterclass in filmmaking.
There will be blood is one of my favorite movies of all time, I watched it when I was in my senior year of highschool and fell in love, the way it was shot was shot and how the story was told is a masterwork of cenima
as good as _No Country for Old Men_ is - and it _is_ pretty damn incredible - there are very very few movies as hypnotic and memorable as _There Will Be Blood._ period.
The production story around this scene reminds me a little bit of The Sacrifice's ending sequence with the burning house, however Tarkovsky wasn't as lucky as PTA, because the camera jammed and he had to do it all over again and re-build the entire house from scratch just for that one shot.
HEY Cinematyler great video, I think the only thing you missed is that the oil derrick scene is heavily inspired by the mexican movie Rosa Blanca (1961), it's based on a story by B. Traven who is the same author of The treasure of the sierra madre so PTA during research most definitely had to watch that movie. It's uncanny how similar the the two scenes are.
@@CinemaTyler No problem! Rosa Blanca is actually here on youtube. The scene I'm referring to is at around 1hr 34 min into the movie in case you want to watch it. Great channel and great content man, keep it up! 👍🏽
Great breakdown. This is everything i was looking for after watching it for the first time last night. This scene blew me away and all i wanted to know was how they did it.
Really love that you generally skip intros that would be redundant from the title. Noticed it with the Apocalypse Now series, got right into it. Economic writing and excellent stuff as always.
I really appreciate you making videos about TWBB, it is my favorite movie and i think with all that praise from film buffs, this movie is still highly underrated.. anyways any video you make about this movie is surely getting a like and a view from me, thanks !
There Will Be Blood is absolutely worth watching in Black and White if you ever can! Not sure what PTA would think of that, but I think it really adds to it.
Hmmm? Interesting idea. As someone who has worked almost exclusively in black and white my entire life, I think I generally perceive my world in that way by default. However, the color in this (well fire) sequence is so ... beautiful, I'm not sure which (bw/color) I will prefer.
@@ArtPhotographerLindsay The fire sequence works nicely in black and white, the only things I think that are really lost in Black and White are the shot of Plainview with a mixture of blood and oil on his face, in black and white you can't tell which is which, and the red paint on the walls in the final scene.
i watched your ermey video and wanted to check out the rest of your content, saw a "there will be blood" video had a small gasp and immediately subscribed my dude
There's a piece of the derrick (can't remember what) that the film crew borrowed from the Spindletop-Gladys City Boomtown Museum in Beaumont. It's the most significant oil/mineral find in history, 1901. When the museum director read the letter requesting to borrow the era correct drilling/derrick piece, he thought the movie was a slasher film. He OK'd the loan anyway. He said the film crew treated to prop with great respect and returned in better shape than when they picked it up. They are listed in the Special Thank Yous.
An incredible scene: acting, pacing, continuity. The unusual music captures the moment where in my opinion Day-Lewis’ character starts to lose his soul. And the filmmakers got the technical aspects of cable tool drilling, blowout, and recovery right. No Hollywood idiocy in this movie.
Great as always. I love the way you footnote every quote and reference every source. True cinema academics. Thanks. (Btw, this scene always stands out in my mind when I think of this film).
Great movie and such a powerful scene! I had no idea it was a one-go scene and I'm really impressed they got as much done as they did! It's crazy to see such a big set piece in flames and for long enough that it almost came down on it's own!
Can you do a video like this, just for a David Fincher movie? Maybe some movie which he shot with a digital camera. He is known for his perfectionism, and for doing 100 takes average. LOL. It would be quite interesting to know what his process is in a little bit more detail.
I was the stand in for Paul Dano in this movie.. i was also in all of the Derrick scenes and several others.. I just happened to be living in west Texas during filming.. honestly it was one of the best experiences of my life and ill never forget it. That fire was no joke.. and then the next day we filmed the explosion scene.. i have a lot of memories of working on this movie for a few weeks. I've got a lot of stories about my time on set... my family is probably tired of hearing me talk about it 😆.. the only scene with Paul Dano I wasn't on set for was the very end because they filmed that part in California
2:58 as an artist, that's the kind of providence to dream about, the place that informed your vision is actually the place you can create your vision...
For a movie about soulless oil barons willing to do or say anything, betray their own family and debase even themselves, I'm shocked and impressed to find that this movie was carbon neutral, in 2007. An Inconvenient Truth had only come out the year before, probably during pre-production.
Ever since i first saw the movie, i loved it. The scenery, story and slow pace is perfect. The fact to that its about old California too. I love old Cali tales and pics. Before 1920s. Real. Old california. Not hollywood stuff.
I just got done watching Night of The Living Dead(68) While I understand that this move paved the path for Zombies as we know them I struggle to see this films greatness. With this quarantine I feel like I relate to these characters stuck in their house afraid of the masses now on a spiritual level.
*Edit: I shouldn't write comments before the video is over* The composition for that moment in the film, "Convergence" by Radiohead's Johnny Greenwood, was from a previous soundtrack he had done to a film called "Bodysong" (I think, it could be another soundtrack he did). It is the reason why he wasn't considered for Best Original Score at the Oscars. One of the GREATEST soundtracks of all time was snubbed because he used one old song. Disclaimer: Maybe this is apocryphal. *edit: apparently not*
That must have been really hot right there...I only know how it feels standing like 20-30 meters away from an easter fire (basically a huge assembly of wood and twigs, 10x10x5 meters, set ablaze) and if the wind changes direction, you better run...
The fact that this was disqualified from the best score Oscar is a travesty. It's one of the most immediately iconic scores of all time. Stupid academy. May as well have given it to No Country for Old Men.
it's hard to say that No Country for Old Men is better than this. They're both sooo good. Regardless it's all little sad that this got beaten out. This movie is a Classic! Great Essay!
anyone know why in the film they had to snap the cables? I guess it was to help it fall over but why was it necessary to hasten the falling over of the derrick?

The destruction of a single oil rig was 10000 times more impactful than the destruction of an entire city in Marvel/DC movies
That's the difference between a movie and cinema
Amin for that mate
Or the whole world in 2012
I knew something terrible happened in 2012, just wasnt sure what it was
more comparisons please. how about "the day after tomorrow?" or " what about bob?"
Two of my favorite movies (There will be blood and No Country) being made simultaneously in the same place, very cool.
It's cruel to have to choose one over the other and abstract that they were both filmed at the same time in the same place.
2007, great year for film
Quick, buy a cemetery plot there.
Nothing like self-quarantining yourself with a prescription to analyze PTA movies. Excellent stuff as always, Tyler.
I loved There will be Blood. It was pure cinema, pure "philosophy through a character ".
I love this channel because you are obsessed with 'There will be blood' and 'Apocalypse Now'. Just like me. These are the films worth your obsession.
metallicarifflover same
amen
And they're both films about obsession.
Those are the same two movies that I play back to back, too!
Same. Add Brazil and you have me.

This just goes to show how we take for granted how much work goes into shots like this.
Just one of the best scenes ever made... The Master and There Will Be Blood are masterpieces.
TWBB directors and actor did an excellent job portraying the characters "dark triad personality". That was what stood out the most for me.
Your stuff blows me away. This movie has become one of my absolute favorites and as much as I like to investigate film, I can't see myself doing all of this in depth research on my own. Great editing, great narration, always interesting, thank you.

Daniel day Lewis was so into character he built a real well and struck actual oil it caught on fire so they just filmed it
Excited for the new PTA project coming out sometimes in 2021, might be delayed because you know what.
Heard it was about his life as a teenager in California.
Best film channel on the internet. Thank you for your tireless work, Tyler!
Thank you!

Stay safe!
I’ve literally been waiting for this video for like a year ahahaha
You're such a talented editor, and you have such a great voice! Thanks for some great content, especially during times like these
Thanks so much!

So heartbreaking. Lucky that they were able to do it again. I talk about it a bit in my video on Stalker here: ua-cam.com/video/lhK7hMBli4s/v-deo.html
I thought that happened in his film Mirror, not The Sacrifice

being from bakersfield this movie will always hold a special place in my heart.

you can really tell they were lit with light from fire it looks incredible

anyways any video you make about this movie is surely getting a like and a view from me, thanks !
One of my favorite films. A masterpiece
Yes! I've been looking forward to this ever since you teased it in the earlier TWBB video.
Pyrotechnics is a beautiful combination of science and art.

I'm convinced that Paul Thomas Anderson is just a role that's Daniel Day-Lewis is preparing 35 years to play.
I love "There Will Be Blood". Once there was a time when my mother and I use to watch it every Sunday. It's a stunning film in every aspect.
I haven't seen this yet and now it's on my list
Wonderful stuff as always Tyler!

Whenever I see movies like this I'm just left in awe of how the fuck they did this shit. It's really insane
Industrial light and magic is my favorite name of any company ever.
Hardcore, full bodied educational content right here.
I swear I heard the Greenwood songs years before the movie was released. The album was named Body songs.
my friend, why are the 3 other videos in this playlist unlisted? i’d love to watch all your content on this topic
You're such a fan of PTA. Hoping to see your analysis of The Master
Love your icon pic, dude!
Someday!

For a movie about soulless oil barons willing to do or say anything, betray their own family and debase even themselves, I'm shocked and impressed to find that this movie was carbon neutral, in 2007. An Inconvenient Truth had only come out the year before, probably during pre-production.
Anderson hasn't realized that he has made the greatest film ever made
that's illegal
He knows
such amazing info ! thanks 😊
There Will Be Blood is so odd, such a slow going movie that captivates you with sound and then extreme moments. A very good movie.
Loving your channel. This whole video I kept thinking to myself, "carbon tax?" and then you finished it and I thought "huh."
I always knew that the location was shot in Texas. The movie has some of the best cinematography shots I have ever seen
Awesome movie!!! Also, very unique score.
Even though I love No Country....There will be blood will be top dog for me.
Ever since i first saw the movie, i loved it. The scenery, story and slow pace is perfect. The fact to that its about old California too. I love old Cali tales and pics. Before 1920s. Real. Old california. Not hollywood stuff.
7:10 priceless timing
Great essay! As a side note, the bombing of the base in Catch 22 was (according to Mike Nichols) all illuminated by the pyrotechnics.
Thanks! Now I've got to watch Catch 22 again!
Amazing!

The last bit that "it's a carbon neutral film" got me man! Love your work keep up the awesomeness.
pta is an anagram for tap and his movies tap into my subconsciousness which facilitate evolution
FUN FACT: the oil in the scene was made entirely of Milk Shake
That wasn’t his son. HW was left an orphan when his father died in the oil hole.
anyone know why in the film they had to snap the cables? I guess it was to help it fall over but why was it necessary to hasten the falling over of the derrick?
Yo, I fuckin searched indoor teepees on amazon and all I can find is stuff for kids.
It's like no adults want indoor teepees.
The fuck, humans?
Totally worth the double-investment to make this movie C-neutral. What a legendary piece
Great Job!
Thanks!
Gotta love how movie makers have to follow regulations and have more personal responsibility then actual oil companies
James Dean looks cool as hell in that movie
Texas is beautiful ,made great set for the movie,new mexico could of worked as well
This movie slaps
You should avoid using RED borders on your YT thumbnail pictures which sometimes can be mistaken for videos already watched and people will ignore it.
whats film is that clip of the chick spinning around to face the camera and is dancing from in the intro and outro of this video?
I am currently drinking it up!
Man, imagine getting paid, just driving around looking for a spot to take videos
I adore the Coen's, but TWBB 1000% should have won best pic that year.
Ah the dying art of blowing shit up on film.
"I can honestly tell you that we drove over every inch of that state [California]." -Well, that's a red flag about Paul's willingness to lie!
How did that thing last so long? I would have given it 10 minutes
Why are three videos missing 😔
