Oct 2, 2026 · 1 hr 35 min · 12 segments
Well, you’ve made it to the Cinema Role episode for There Will Be Blood. (See what we did there?) In this lengthy tale of an early 20th century oil man, Daniel Plainview deals with growing a business…
What did you pay attention to?
So in this episode, I got to pay attention to the cinematography yet again.
My old friend,
cinematography.
Hey, at least it wasn't color theory.
It's true.
I don't know what I would have done with that one in this.
I don't either, honestly.
The color is drab.
I paid attention to dialogue, which proved to be very interesting when I started watching this movie for the first time.
Because if you, dear listener, have not seen this movie, the first 14 and a half minutes of this movie have zero dialogue.
Actually, it's three.
Five minutes in, I think I clocked a...
There she is.
Oh, I did not hear that.
But he does fall and kind of knocked out.
And upon waking up, he does this like guttural like inhale and then just kind of says like on his exhale, no.
So that's really the first thing.
notable dialogue in this movie is that I heard the word no and that was about five minutes in so it is possible that right before that because right before that is when he finds oil in the hole he's digging so it is possible that he does kind of whisper to himself there she is there were a couple of times in this movie that i did have to like pause and rewind to hear if i had heard it correctly
okay what was it
when eli is getting the old lady's arthritis out and he says

Yes, I do,
love.
Yes, the devil is in your hands and I will fuck it out.
