It seems in the original 1927 Upton Sinclair novel: “Oil!” the Daniel-Day Lewis character was the hero rather than villain. The small, independent oilman struggling to make a living in the shadow of the Rockefellers, et al.
And thus the individual is now the villain.
That’s kindof funny actually. Isn’t it patently absurd what the leftist movie industry has turned into? These folks are infantile in their approach to life.
Not much would suit me more than to see their industry replaced by a conservative industry that actually made movies that heralded the good things about our nation, and it’s potential for the good of mankind.
Oh, I forgot. That really doesn’t exist... /s
LibTards!
If you get to read a book called “The Prize”. Its a very comprehensive book on the oil industry. Really interesting.
The movie did not transform a novel into a left wing political vehicle. Upton Sinclair was an avowed socialist who himself admitted that he wrote the novel Oil! only to portray capitalism (through Day’s character) and religion (through Dano’s) character as evil. If anything, the movie toned down these societal references.
