There Will Be Blood is a 2007 American epic drama film written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. The movie stars Daniel Day-Lewis as Daniel Plainview, a ruthless oilman driven by greed and ambition in early 20th-century California. His relentless pursuit of wealth and power leads him into conflict with Eli Sunday (Paul Dano), a young preacher seeking to gain influence over the growing oil industry.

One of the film's most emotionally charged moments comes during a scene where Plainview, broken and tormented, shouts the infamous line, "I've abandoned my child! I've abandoned my boy!" This occurs during a forced confession orchestrated by Eli at the local church. The confession is humiliating, as Plainview is made to admit his failures as a father in front of the congregation. This raw moment captures the depth of Plainview's inner torment and exposes his vulnerability beneath the veneer of his unyielding ambition.

The film explores themes of capitalism, faith, and the destructive nature of obsession. Daniel Day-Lewis’s performance earned him an Academy Award for Best Actor, and the film is widely regarded as a modern masterpiece.
