It was a test. The peachtree dance is either something that all the locals knew about that outsiders wouldn't, or it was something he made up and his "brother" pretended to understand.
One Cinemaphile poster said that the peachtree dance wasn't a dance at all, but most likely a local euphemism for date raping a girl. I don't think this interpretation holds any weight, though.
The peachtree dance is where olt timey men would go when they wanted to legally rape women.
This is why boomers are full of shit, it doesn’t matter how hard you had to work if at the end of the week you could go out and do a few rapes.
Reminder that this movie focused on the worst parts of Plainview's life, making him look more miserable than he was.
He spent a good 20 years on nothing but winning once the estate was settled and the bastard was growing up. Fricked any hooker he wanted, ate everything, had a giant house, got really good at bowling, enjoyed the glory days of free America before it got pozzed.
So what if he didnt have a real family. A lot of families end up shit, even if the father has the best intentions.
>20s, but close
No it was the 30's, the market crash had all ready happened which was why Eli was coming to Daniel to beg for money in the first place. The stock market crash was on october 29, 1929. Then it had to be the 1930's.
He said he liked to dance with the girls at the Peachtree dance. His brother didn't react. So he figured out that his brother was a gay, and killed him for being a gay.
>not knowing about the Peachtree dance
Why the frick is Daniel looking at me funny?
This scene made me uncomfortable, I don't know why. It's mostly the sound/music, it's very eerie.
that's because it's a horror movie
no it isn't
Its supposed to be a tense anxiety inducing scene because the guys lie is being figured out
That's it, thanks.

Reminder that it's been almost 20 years since this movie was made.
And you still haven't been washed in the blood of Jesus Christ. It's your only way to salvation.
no thank you, I don't take advice from a man with such poor facial hair.

>Its not like they had good tv and vidya in those days. People drank instead.
The end of the movie was the 1930's mate

still, that TV and vidya of the 30s eh?
Well Monopoly was fairly popular in the 1930s
but he wasn't in real estate
he was an oil man
Also, radio is superior to tv in many ways.
what the frick was he shooting at anyway?
He set up a bunch of furniture as targets IIRC
he was shooting up his house
He said he liked to dance with the girls at the Peachtree dance. His brother didn't react. So he figured out that his brother was a gay, and killed him for being a gay.
>he doesn't know about the Peachtree dance
Peachtrees have peaches on them. You do the math.

I say get slo-mo'd up and take em to the peach trees dance
