Just watched this for the first time.
DDL did a great job of being a character that was almost impossible to like. Didn't really have any good qualities.
I don't really understand why Daniel Plainfield (DDL) was such an awful person? Was he really just so driven by success and beating the competition that he became such a spiteful and hateful person who couldn't be happy?

He wasn't necessarily driven by success, just his general disdain for people. It wasn't enough for him to be successful, he wanted everyone else to suffer and fail too.

Why do people/characters have to fit into these perfect molds? There are qualities that Plainfield possesses that are very admirable.

I watched this for the first time on Saturday. I really enjoyed it. I am always amazed how well DDL manages his career. It seems that any movie he is in at least is nominated for an Academy award and he usually wins best actor.
I think that his character in the movie did have good qualities, he did take on his dead workers child and raise him as his own. I also liked how much disdain he had for the preacher and how he handled him in the end of the movie.
Will watch again.

Eli is the truly evil character. He is a liar, a manipulator, a crook in every sense of the word. Eli is fake. He puts on a front of holiness so he can extort wealth from Daniel to satisfy his own greed.
Which character do you relate with? The man who works hard, has shrewder business sense, but does truly care for certain people in his life? Or the man who lies and extorts in all walks of life, but puts on a false narrative of holiness even though he not once shows true compassion for anyone in the film as plain view does on numerous occasions.
The idea is that maybe the people that you believe to be righteous in this world are not. And maybe the ones you believe to be evil are simply flawed. Eli deserved what he got.
