There will be Blood

Watched There will be Blood this weekend. It is a completely absorbing movie capped my an incredible performance by Daniel Day-Lewis; you just cant take your eyes off of him. However, the movie as a whole I didn't think was that great. The story didn't make a lot of sense as a closed story, I didn't really understand the whole point about the multiple brothers, and (this can't be overstated) it had, by far, the WORST music of any movie I've ever seen. The music was consistently abrasive and incongruous, and really took away from the rest of the flick.
As an aside, the movie is loosely based on an Upton Sinclair novel called Oil!. Turns out that Paul Thomas Anderson, the writer/director, selectively pulled from the source, which normally might not be a big issue, but may have lead to some of the bizarre story lines in the movie. According to the Wikipedia.

Unlike the novel, "There Will Be Blood" focused on the father, with his son being a supporting character. Paul Thomas Anderson also claimed that he only incorporated the first 150 pages of the book into his film, so the rest of the film and novel are nearly entirely different.

Not that i'm a huge Upton Sinclair fan - i've actually never read any of his stuff - but you wonder if that affected the logical unity of the story.
