There Will Be Blood
De_El:
It's the same actor. I was confused too. When Eli appeared, I thought maybe he was fucking with them or was schizoid.
patrisaurus:
I liked this more than any movie I've seen in quite a while...what a great story.
SevenPinkerton:
I think the brother mentioned he had a twin at the beginning of the movie and I just missed it, because everyone I went with knew he had a twin except me. I would've kept on believing Eli was the same as Paul at the beginning had he not attacked his father and mentioned him.
TheFuriousWombat:
P.T. Anderson said somewhere that they were twins so yeah, they're twins. Still, it definitely confused me as I was watching and there are a couple of scenes which potentially suggest, in a rather ambiguous way, that Eli had multiple personalities (at the end, for example, he when getting drinks for Daniel and himself he pours three. Often people with multiple personalities will do things like that for their other selves). However the potency of the ending would be lost in a lot of ways if they were the same person. Also, it just wouldn't make a whole lot of sense, nor would it really add anything at all to the plot.
KvP:
Yeah, that would be rather off-the-wall.
Kind of funny to think about, though.
