you like The Master (2012)? i think I failed to convey one point. While Lancaster Dodd is an abuser there is still a palpable connection between Freddie and Lancaster that needs to be addressed. Dodd is a sympathetic character and throughout the film one can't help but hope him and Freddie can work it out. When Freddie realizes he needs to "break up" with Lancaster it is a very touching and moving scene for that reason (the first and second time). To paint Lancaster solely as a terrible person would be a disservice to the film. I think its important to recognize the value this relationship had to both Freddie and Lancaster despite the points I discuss in this video.
i misused the word subtext and I apologize.
Paul Thomas Anderson with the help of Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams created one of my favorite films in 2012. This video essay talks The Master (2012). How does it deal with community, power and most importantly Freddie.
