Atheism, Socialism, and the Hollywood Left

Rating: 1/10 (28 January 2008)

The novel OIL!, on which this movie is based, was written by the socialist atheist Upton Sinclair. The movie is the worst example of the Hollywood Left's definition of "interesting" story lines, hence the Left's nomination of the movie for awards. The makers of the movie define Christianity as a silly exercise in stupidity amounting to mindless praising, shouting, and impossible expectations. (You will be reminded of Sinclair Lewis' denigration of Christian ministers in "Elmer Gantry." If you want to pay money to sit two hours and thirty-eight minutes observing a hate filled human perpetrate hate filled acts on other humans, this is your movie. Frankly, the movie is reminiscent of hate filled Muslim's actions versus their fellow man. This comment is in no manner embellished.
