I sometimes find it difficult to enjoy films whose world view are antithical to my own. This difficulty is mitigated sometimes by the quality of film making or entertainment value. I enjoyed “Enemy of the State” for instance. While “There Will Be Blood” wasn’t as entertaining as I would have liked it was beautifully filmed and acted. The characters were disturbing but one need not take this film as an endictment on all capitalists or preachers. That would be like taking the above professional critic’s review as an endictment of all critics. Most critics, I gather, would have seen the first 20 minutes of a film they planned to pan.
