Locaciones de Filmación:

El Mirage Dry Lake, California, USA

Compañía:

Ghoulardi Film Company

Trivialidades:

Director Paul Thomas Anderson owns a vintage 1910 Pathe camera which contains a special 43mm lens. The lens was specially modified to be used in the film as it has very low resolution and can shift colors at corners. Only certain shots of the film used this lens; for example a shot of Plainview sleeping in the train with an infant H.W.

Errores:

Continuidad: During the final scene in the bowling alley, Eli pours drinks for himself and Daniel Plainview. Daniel however refuses the drink so Eli sets Daniel's drink and an empty glass behind him. As they converse, Eli drinks from his glass until Daniel orders him to stand up so that he can yell that he is a false prophet. As he stands, Eli takes one last sip of his drink without finishing it and sets it down about a quarter full besides the other two glasses. On the next shot when the glasses are visible over Eli's shoulder, we can see Daniel's untouched drink and two empty glasses whereas Eli's drink was still about a quarter full when he put it down.

Citas:

Eli Sunday: How is all the work coming?
Plainview: Everything's good.
Eli Sunday: All the men are provided for?
Plainview: Of course.
Eli Sunday: Spirit's seem high. Is there... anything that you need from me? Anything the church can do for you?
Plainview: I don't believe so, no. Thank you.
Eli Sunday: I understand you've asked the people to gather round and watch the well begin tomorrow, is that right?
Plainview: That's right.
Eli Sunday: I will bless the well. Before you begin, you should introduce me. You'll see me walk up towards the oil well, and...
Plainview: The derrick.

Ho hum

Symbolic? Tried too hard...I get it already!!!!

Masterpiece? Short cinematic shelf life...I don't care what anyone says, I can't imagine anyone WANTING to watch this for a second time.

Acting? DDL again a wild-eyed meglomaniac. Got that one down...Ho hum. I'm back on board if he can pull off an endearing, loving Everyman in a light comedy. Oscar time!!!

Paul Dano....dandelion fluff fighting an oak tree....too bad.

The final scene....unsatisfying on all levels.

Just because it's Paul Anderson and Daniel Day Lewis...let's keep our heads here....this wasn't great...it was barely, barely good.

I was distracted and thoroughly entertained by the score however.
