Ključna beseda Oil

Nekdo ubije naftnega mogotca Roberta Kinga, dobrega prijatelja agentke M. Tajni agent 007 James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) dobi nevarno nalogo, da mora paziti na Kingovo hčerko Elektro (Sophie Marceau), ki je po očetu podedovala njegovo bogastvo in ji zdaj strežejo po življenju. Izkaže se, da je Elektrinega očeta ubil razvpiti terorist in kruti anarhist Renard (Robert Carlyle). Ta želi nadzirati dobavo nafte po svetu in je še posebej nevaren, saj nima česa izgubiti. Počasi umira zaradi krogle, ki se mu je zagozdila v glavi, in zaradi katere ne čuti bolečine. Elektro z njim veže tudi zgodba iz preteklosti. Ko je bila mlajša, jo je Renard ugrabil, vendar mu je pobegnila, še preden je njen oče plačal visoko odkupnino.

Epska zgodba in družinska drama spremlja ljudi, ki so iskali srečo in bogastvo v času naftne mrzlice v Kaliforniji na prelomu 20. stoletja. Kronološko niza osebne dogodke iz življenja Daniela Plainviewa. Pred gledalčevimi očmi se odvija Danielova prepričljiva in srhljiva preobrazba iz revnega garaškega iskalca srebra, ki sam skrbi za sina, v samoniklega naftnega mogotca, zaslepljenega od črnega zlata – v tolikšni meri, da v njem nihče, ki mu je blizu, kmalu ne prepozna več niti za trohico človeškega. Med tistimi, ki so hodili z njim ali mu stopili na pot, sta najtežje breme njegove razčlovečenosti nosila njegov gluhonemi sin G. W. ter mladi pridigar Eli Sunday. Slednji predstavlja drugo vrsto obsedenosti in poblaznelosti, ki danes razkraja svet še bolj kot kdajkoli – obsedenost od institucionalizirane vere in resničnega pohlepa, ki ga sprenevedavo prikriva. Ko taka človeka trčita v navzkrižju interesov ter nasprotju ideologij, bo poleg nafte tekla tudi kri.

An excellent narration of oil industry since early days to 20th century and up to today. How oil changed the world and shaped our modern world today.

Modern history is steeped in oil. Oil is a fuel as well as a raw material for such products as plastics or detergents. Oil is the driving force behind major technological, economic and social developments, even revolutions and wars. The 20th century has lightly been called the century of oil. For most of the last century and until the present day, Royal Dutch Shell has been one of the largest oil companies in the world.
