Then read Stephanie Zacharek's salon.com review of There Will Be Blood: http://www.salon.com/ent/movies/review/2007/12/26/blood/
Stephanie's criticism is exquisitely written, and expresses so many things that I (and perhaps you, too) felt during the film but didn't know how to articulate -- or were too unsure of my/yourself to. Anyway, as a PTA believer and a lover of good writing, I was nearly in tears reading this. `Insert mocking here.`
