2) Daniel Plainview (There Will Be Blood, 2007)

Daniel Plainview’s greed turns There Will Be Blood into a study of ambition at its ugliest. He doesn’t just want to be rich—he wants absolute control. He lies, manipulates, and destroys anyone in his way, including his own son. His hatred for weakness fuels his rivalry with Eli Sunday, pushing him to humiliating extremes. By the end, his wealth means nothing—his obsession has made him completely alone. His presence dominates the film, making everything else secondary.
