good acting, crap adaption

Rating: 7/10 (22 April 2008)

I just wanted to say that Paul Thomas Anderson has supposedly adapted this from the book 'Oil' by Upton Sinclair. I believe that Upton is rolling in his grave because this movie has absolutely five fifths of f**k all to do with that book. Paul what I don't understand is why you just didn't say it was a whole new composition, why even say it was adapted for screen.
The book has actually not a lot to do with the oil, its true meaning is class struggle and the battle between capitalists, socialists and their links to communism. Good work in totally disregarding this and making the main character out to be a bully.
To Daniel Day Lewis, class acting as always, loved your work from Last of the Mohicans, In the name of the father, The gangs of New York and others.
I just don't get why they had to call it an adaption.
