There Will Be Blood is a loose adaptation of notorious twentieth century socialist Upton Sinclaire's "Oil."
The movie is self-consciously anti-capitalist and anti-Christian, which is the only reason that critics love it: Oil prospectors who fuel economic growth and religious ministers who give meaning to life are the scourge of society.
