The stunning aspect of There Will Be Blood is not its ability to weave a complex narrative, but rather its ability to use this narrative to go beyond the central themes and offer insight into specific aspects of humanity as a whole. I do not know if the rest of PTA's films do this, certainly aspects are present in the two others I have seen but I have not watched either enough times to make any substantive claims; still, There Will Be Blood certainly encapsulates parts of the human condition.
