Absolutely stupid and completely unbelievable story? That's where it completely loses me.
In the old west Daniel Plainview would have been shot in the back at night pretty early on for being such a total prick.

TWBB is one of the best movies to come out in the past twenty years. Great acting, cinematography, direction, story, and everything down to the last piece of clothing. Lots of pricks survived in the Old West, its kind of the way things went. Morality wasn't a big part of the Old West, not sure where you are going with that. Its loosely based on Sinclair's Oil which is a fantastic novel also, based on a family that was integral in bringing oil rigs to the California Coast. Its fantastic.
