Description

OLEAN -- I watched the much-praised movie "There Will Be Blood" last weekend, the film for which Daniel Day-Lewis won the best-actor Oscar in his darkly compelling depiction of an independent oil man in California around the turn of the 20th century. The main characters were driven by ambition, greed and a searing fiscal lust for crude oil, a magic, revolutionary substance they already understood --in an unspoken but clearly evident way--would drive our economy, modernize humanity at warp speed and drastically dictate our way of life for decades to come.
