Raised in a parish workhouse, Oliver is underfed, overworked, and continually mistreated by the corrupt administrators of the home, who are more concerned with lining their own pockets by cutting corners than they are with the welfare of the children entrusted to them.
Now seen as a subversive element amongst the rest of the children, he is consigned to an apprenticeship with an undertaker and a life that is little better than the one that he has left behind.
Though we certainly are under no mistaken impressions concerning his imperfect character, the author’s descriptions of the horrendous conditions Oliver endured in the state system are so enraging that when the boy is fed and sheltered by Fagin we begin to attribute a Robin Hood feel to him.

 Oliver Stone, Al Haig and 'The Day Reagan Was Shot'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The film is grossly and blatantly unfair to Al Haig, a patriotic soldier who saw combat in Korea and went on to serve on the staff of Gen. MacArthur, as a decorated commander in Vietnam, and as supreme commander of NATO.
On this point of friction, Al Haig was on side of calm, proper disclosure and good sense.
So it may make you wonder that, after doing a hit job on Al Haig, the Reagans and the rest of the Reagan administration, there is talk of "heroes" and "enormous respect" from the film's producer and director.
