Henry Plainview (Pt. III)

Possibly the most astounding performance in an interconnected series of scenes that I have ever witnessed in the history of motion pictures occurs during the 'swimming-in-ocean->girls-in-bar->campfire-confrontation' scenes late in TWBB.
(SPOILER ALERT)
At this point in the film, DDL has "abandoned" his son, met with the Standard Oil representatives and rebuked their offer with a threat ("One day I'm going to come to you in your home, wherever you're sleeping, and I'm going to cut your throat"). The trio of scenes which display DDL's true magnificence begins when DDL and Henry are swimming in the ocean after meeting with Union Oil. The intrinsic differences between the two are quite evident, even down to their reaction after jumping into the cold water (Daniel remains completely quiet and wades in the water whereas Henry starts yelping and splashes around).
When DDL's quip that the two should, "Get 'em (some women) liquored-up and take 'em to the Peach-Tree Dance," goes unaddressed by Henry, and Henry lays his head in his lap (depression? or just another detail displaying his differing personality), PTA zooms in on DDL's expression...

This is when DDL realizes that he is ultimately alone in the world and that Henry is probably not his brother... his face cycles through 7-8 emotions before PTA cuts to the last two that Daniel will ever feel for Henry- disdain and suspicion...
