Quentin Tarantino<\/strong><\/a> has divided film buffs with his recent brutal criticisms of Paul Dano<\/strong> … and a star of “There Will Be Blood” is calling cut on the hot take.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Here’s the deal … recently on “The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast,”<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>Tarantino tore apart Dano’s work<\/strong><\/a> … specifically mentioning the 2007 Daniel Day-Lewis flick. QT spit fire, proclaiming it’s nearly a perfect film … had Paul essentially not screwed it up. Needless to say, fans of the movie — and of Dano — were left asking … WTF, bro?!?<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Dillon Freasier<\/strong>, who played the child version of H.W. Plainview in ‘Blood,’ tells TMZ \u2026 QT is allowed his opinion — and when it comes to cinema he’s usually spot on — but this insight missed the mark!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n

Dillon says … \u201cThe film is perfect. It\u2019s a work of art. And it\u2019s that way because everyone was perfectly cast.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

As for QT’s suggestion that Austin Butler<\/strong><\/a> would have been better in that role than Dano … Dillon laughs off the nonsensical suggestion, since AB was 15 when they made the film … and PD was in his early 20s. So yeah, apples and oranges.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Don’t get it twisted … DF says he’s a massive Tarantino fan, and he’s sure QT is right in his own mind … but that means people who are pissed about the remarks are also right. Basically, you can have your milkshake, but can’t always drink it too.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

It turns out … “There Will Be Blood” is the only film or TV credit Dillon has on his resume … telling us, making the film was wonderful, and it turned out perfect, but he had no interest in pursuing acting as a career — and walked away to have a private life with a big Hollywood W.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

As for if he’ll ever come back to Hollywood, he says it’s “up to the good Lord” … ’cause he’s too busy working on an actual oil rig. It makes sense — after all, it’s in his blood!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
