Paul Dano was a perfect supporting actor for this film
This is surprisingly easily my pick for the greatest performance in film history.
Simply put, one of the greatest performances of all-time from the GOAT. Daniel Planview's evil stems from sheer greed and arrogance, and watching his fall and descent into madness until the very final scene is cinematic magic. PTA's magnum opus.
Great video. One note: you're referring to the Meisner method, not Stanislavski's
Paul Dano is just as good. Imo his character is so loathable and subtle.
As soon as Plainview said his "Im an oil man" speech. This movie became of my all time favorites. I have probably seen it a dozen times and each time over the years there is something new I like about it.
Nothing has made me happier than to hear that DDL is unretiring from acting and doing another movie. His performances are transcendent and I fully believe he is the best actor working today. You simply cannot top his performances, they’re stunning.
Seeing lewis and dano acting off each other is glorious to watch
I listened to Tarantino talk about this film, and he said Dano was weak. Like he always has to say something negative. Dano was perfect for for this role.
When Eli says "and the devil has left" it cuts to Daniel in the shadows smirking to himself
