Thomas Jefferson mentioned the phrase ”All men are created equal” in the declaration of independence back in 1776. The United States of America we know today was created as a result of this belief. I will investigate certain characteristics in Daniel Plainview’s personality that has to do with some of the traditional American values.
“There Will Be Blood” is a movie that follows Daniel Plainview’s story from his times alone in the desert mining, till the end where he has become a millionaire. Underway we will see how he goes from a caring man to some kind of a heartless killer, as the money and the power rises to his head and poisons his mind.
Daniel Plainview starts his adventure in the first scene of the movie. As a true pioneer, he sought out new lands to mine in the pursuit of wealth. Even though he broke his leg while being down the mine, his only concern was how to get into town and deliver this rock he extracted from the underground. He never gave up, no matter what the consequences were. This kind of “can do” spirit got him far, as he started out alone but as the movie progresses, he gets more successful and needs to rely on his partner Fletcher Hamilton.
