Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood, from his own screenplay, is based on the 1927 novel Oil! by Upton Sinclair, the muckraking writer and anti-capitalist activist. The film’s narrative seems very slow getting started as it examines in painstaking detail the primitive and dangerous processes, first of silver mining in Silver City, N.M., and then of oil extraction near the end of the 19th century, in Little Boston, a rural enclave near what is now Los Angeles.
