10 There Will Be Blood Questions | Movies Trivia Quiz

Answer: Silver Miner

At the very beginning, Daniel Plainview is the name signed on the receipt ticket by the main character after the recovery of a good sized chunk of silver. This movie shows how his life is impacted based on the decisions he makes throughout a 30 or so year period during the oil boom in the U.S.

Answer: He was killed in an oil digging accident

Daniel Plainview, who is portrayed by Daniel Day-Lewis, has a co-worker killed in the line of duty as an oil-worker. He then claims the boy as his own son as a gesture of good-will to the fallen worker and the boy himself. He uses H.W, the boy, as a tool to help him appear as a more gentle and trustworthy person in order to achieve his means of gaining land and drilling the oil that land may or may not contain.

Answer: Sunday

For 500 dollars, Paul Sunday tells Daniel Plainview the location of this prospective oil find. Daniel then takes H.W. to hunt quail on the property to investigate the claim. The Sundays welcome then and are gracious hosts, not knowing what Daniel's real plans are and that they involve buying the land for "quail-prices" not for "oil-prices".

Answer: A face to face meeting with the buyer

William Bandy, the lone hold-out of the deal that would give Daniel total control of the entire area that he's drilling and the entire path of the pipeline to the sea, just wants to speak to Daniel face to face to find out his plans. Daniel decides he can go around that particular piece of land so delays speaking with Bandy.

Answer: His brother

The man has Daniel's brother's diary and pictures of Daniel's mom, but he cannot produce the name of the farm that was next to their boyhood home. This man proves to be an impostor who met Daniel's brother in passing and assumed his identity. Knowing the truth but not with the ability to covey it to Daniel, H.W. attempts to kill this man. Plainview then finds out through the question not being answered properly, that this man is not really his brother and ends up shooting him near the middle of the movie.

Answer: Eli Sunday

Eli Sunday is played by Paul Dano, who also plays the informant, twin brother Paul, who gives Daniel the location of the oil that is on the Sunday property. Eli sees why Daniel wants the land and asks for a $5,000 contribution to his church which Daniel agrees to, but never pays. Daniel is later convinced by William Bandy to join this church. Eli puts Daniel through an embarrassing ceremony as an initiation rite and as punishment for not paying the $5,000 he said he would contribute.

This move will later lead to Eli's demise. You can also see Dano as the mute kid in "Little Miss Sunshine".

Answer: Mary Sunday

H.W. is shown near the end of the movie asking his father to split from their partnership so that he and his wife may move to Mexico and start their own business in the same field. Daniel is incensed at the thought of his own son being a "competitor" and disowns him. Mary is Eli and Paul's sister and has been beaten before by their father. Earlier in the movie, Daniel makes it a point to tell her those beatings will stop. We, the viewers are lead to believe they do.

Answer: superstition

This scene occurs when Eli asks Daniel to partner with him to drill the Bandy tract which he has purchased. Daniel then informs Eli that through drainage, he has already gotten all the oil and Eli has taken a heavy loss. After some vicious taunting Daniel gets his payback from the earlier events in Eli's church, by killing Eli.

Answer: Bowling Pin

He chases Eli down after he tries to run away and starts to strike him with a bowling pin. During the pursuit, Daniel does sling a couple of bowling balls at Eli, but in the end he kills him after striking him with the wooden bowling pin.

Answer: "I'm finished."

A drunken Daniel Plainview sitting astride the body of Eli claims "I'm finished" which describes me along with, this, the first quiz on the must-see film, "There Will Be Blood."
