New Yorker Review of There Will be Blood.

It's interesting how the movie adaptation, a loose one, focuses on character -- and it's disintegration, and "loses" the socialist literalism of Upton Sinclair's original.

The director and the actor revealed very little plot, but analysed character a lot in a recent interview with Charlie Rose.

I haven't seen the film yet, but think the screenplay -- leaked by Paramount, is masterful.

Kyi May Kaung.
