The shot where plainview is falling in the whole, is that actually DDL? because PY said he did fall down the hole, I wonder if thats the shot they used. Does anyone know?

I finally got my DVD yesterday, and after I did my homework assignment of watching the first reel, I felt so glad to have seen it a few times on the big screen. Alas, it's too pretty for tv viewing. The scenery is as much a character in this film as Daniel is and I expect the perceptions of many who will only see it on the small screen will be different from ours.

Yes, I agree. It was great to be watching it, but frustrating as well.

That's why my first viewing of it was on my 19" widescreen LCD monitor. Very high res. Movie looked fantastic.

Here are the two signatures, as good as I could get them--the 1898 one cross-fades into the next shot:

I'm working on the analysis and have come up with some pretty interesting findings, especially when you consider that DDL probably just wrote the signatures any old way. Or did he?

God, EW, haven't we already covered DDLs study of late nineteenth and early twentieth Century paper manufacturing, the chemical properties of ink, how writing was taught in the Fond du Lac schools in the 1870's (and perfecting it involved countless hours of practice)?? What, do you think he just scratched out some signature??

I've consulted some graphology books and here's what I've gathered about the two signatures of Daniel Plainview. What I've found is pretty interesting.

I should warn you--these are my own conclusions and should not be substituted for the analysis of a professional graphologist. (Some of my statements are actual paraphrases from a graphology book.)

The 1898 signature:

The over-sized capital letters indicate that in regards to sex, the writer is interested only in self pleasure, not in giving pleasure to others. The writer is also conceited and prone to anger if not shown respect. The writer is never self-critical and cannot accept criticism.

The given name refers to the private self, while the surname refers to public self.

The sharpness of the handwriting indicates an ability to quickly understand matters, but a lack of the ability in theorizing about them. This writer accepts the surface value of things, propounds his own ideas, is at odds with himself and others, and feels rejected by others.

The overall form of the letters indicates an aptitude for mathematics and the applied arts.

The capital "P" indicates an interest in material pleasures.

The connected letters indicate calmness.

The large capital letters indicate megalomaniacal tendencies, an inflated view of abilities, rudeness, and a tendency to magnify the self and downgrade others.

The narrow spacing between letters--the way they are closed upon themselves--indicates the writer rejects anything from others.

The name "Daniel" rises upward, an indication of optimism and arrogance.

The name "Plainview" stays flat along the line, indicating strength of will, self-control.

The second "I" is missing a dot and is shielded, as it were, by the "A" and the "N," as if the writer is trying to hide something. It is interesting that the thing the writer is hiding is the middle "I."

The overall right slant of the handwriting indicates an ability to absorb other people's ideas and experiences.

"I's" dotted to left indicate a resentful temperament.

The small "L's" with closed loops indicate secretiveness.

The tall, hooked starting stroke in "N" means arrogance.

The 1927 signature:

Thick, muddy writing indicates confused, muddled ideas and thinking.

Distorted writing indicates difficulty in concentrating and assimilating facts, rigidity in affections, pessimism, and sadness.

Both names are the same size, indicating the public and private selves are the same--at least in the view of the writer.

The surname slopes downward, which is an indication of depression and failed hopes.

The "P" in that form indicates self-interest.

The second "A" is open, indicating ambition.

The "W" curved inward indicates a need for protection.

The omitted dots from the "I's" indicate carelessness, negligence, poor memory, indecisiveness, and poor attention to details.

I told you what I'd do.

Doesn't sound like ANYBODY anyone here might recognize. (Creepy, how spot-on it is.)

Yeah, about the first ten minutes into my research I started saying, "What the hell...?"

EW, now go find Daniel Day-Lewis' signature and analyze that. I just perused a bunch of supposedly DDL-autographed items on Ebay and no two looked anything alike to me...and none looked like Plainview. I wonder if the differences are to do with the circumstances of the signing (i.e., fan stuffing a photo in his face) or if his signature changes depending on the role he's currently inhabiting? I think it would be interesting to analyze the handwriting of actors who are deeply involved in characters. Perhaps there's grant money available for such a study....

Shepherdess, I have a couple of DD-L photographs that I bought a long time ago that I purchased from a dealer, and the "Daniel" that he signed looks exactly like the Daniel in the Plainview signature. I have seen other signatures from him that look a lot more scraggly, but the basic shape of the D is usually the same. A friend of mine actually met him while he was filming The Crucible, and she got an autograph from his very own beautiful boney hands -- same "Daniel." (We always referred to it as the Holy Handwriting.) I'd be happy to serve on the board of the Guggenheim Fellowship for Milkshake and Drainage Studies if I could do a lot of hands-on fieldwork!

I have an autograph from Daniel that he just signed as "DDL".

I'm a little late to the party here so apologies, but I just have to say that I love that analysis of the signatures. It's spooky how well that works.

Cheap TAG heuer watch PENDULUM CONCEPT: A RADICAL “Hublot Big Bang Maradona watch” RETHINK OF MECHANICAL TIME REGULATION DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE Since the creation of the replica BREITLING NAVITIMER hairspring by Christiaan Huygens in 1675, the cheap hublot watch organ of all mechanical replica BREITLING CHRONOMAT watches has been based on a balance omega and replica omega torsion hairspring system. A coiled strip of fine metal alloy, the replica omega watches provides the torque necessary for the replica omega CONSTELLATION wheel to oscillate and regulate its REPLICA ROMAIN JEROME. Over the replica omega DE VILLE, it has been significantly modified and improved. Charles-Edouard Guillaume (replica rolex DATEJUST), the replica omega SEAMASTER of a Swiss watchmaker, discovered new alloys (replica omega SPEEDMASTER ) that significantly reduced the replica IWC thermal sensitivity. Guillaume won the replica IWC watch Prize for Physics for this invention in 1920.With the challenge of temperature diminished by Guillaume’s alloys, the spiral hairspring regulation system came to dominate mechanical movement design. However, the mechanical hairspring has three serious design limitations: a mass that makes it sensitive to gravity and deforms its replica IWC Aquatimer; a material that makes it sensitive to thermal expansion; and replica TAG GOLF WATCH between its geometric centre and its centre of mass. These may cause isochronal issues that can be technically and physically improved but never completely eliminated.Overcoming the replica IWC Da Vinci design limitations inherent in the traditional regulation system by eliminating the need replica IWC Portofino for a spiral hairspring was the first challenge replica iwc Portuguese set for itself. The second was keeping the movement 100% mechanical: conventional watchmaking wisdom has always held that a mechanical watch without replica rolex DATEJUST hairspring would necessarily require another energy source for its regulation.
