The older I get, the more I relate to him. I just want to be left alone maybe have a decent house at least
>>219752192Neither "I drink your milkshake" nor "There will be blood" really translate into I just want to be left alone, my retarded fren
>>219752192I don't think you understood the character.
>>219752192Some land, a cosy house, isolated enough for privacy but close enough to civilisation to make semi-regular grocery trips not an inconvenience, some chickens and some dogs. That's all I want anymore.

>>219752439Not OP but you might be the retard. He explicitly says that his motivation for accumulating wealth is to move far away from people because he does not like them.
>>219752559>>219752560Nta but I took this as a cope. He made sufficient money to reach that goal but continued anyway. His reason for accumulating money was to accumulate money, he led an empty life.
>>219752612In the same speech he talks about how he has a competition in him and wants no one else to succeed. As soon as he bests his competitors and has no one left to defeat he completely isolates himself.
>I AM A FALSE PROPHET>GOD IS A SUPERSTITION
>>219752192There are really people that don't feel that way? I thought that mindset was human nature.
The older I get the less I relate to him, I want God, church, community, saying hello to people, knowing peoples names, going to events, hanging out.
>>219752192so you haven't seen the movie.
>>219753213Sometimes I feel this way and then I associate with people and I'm reminded why I dislike so many of them.
>>219752518But nothing like this is expressed in the movie. He just wants to socially distance himself from anyone. Stand above them instead of stand next to them
>>219753315>But nothing like this is expressed in the movie. I didn't suggest it was. It's my specific desires which are an expansion on Daniel's desire to get away from people.
>>219752559>>219752560Oh well, if the bad man says it then it must be true. After, you really do need to be an oil emperor to be left alone.What a low IQ take.
>>219753590>Get proven wrong>Become defensiveHave some humility, for fuck's sake.
>>219753626Jesus you're such a simpleton it's almost frightening.
>>219753650You're so narcissistic that even if you weren't stupid you'd never be able to comprehend why you can't accept being proven wrong.
>>219753714ok retard
>>219752612>as a copeCope for what specifically? Also, do you know what cope means? It means to successfully deal with a difficult situation. What do you suppose he does instead, just suffer and mope?
>>219753213This doesn't work because that society no longer existsYou want "community" like it's the 80s/90s but back then you lived in a mostly racially homogeneous society. Now you have to deal with gays, negroes, lesbians, sóyboy atheists, muslims, indians etc
