Paul Thomas Anderson's character study "The Master" is the subject of this video essay, the film tells of a soldier coming home from the war gives us some of the best work from the brilliant Joaquin Phoenix, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, among others. It seems to divide people, many wondering what the point of the film even is, this video aims to look at Freddie, and help shed more light on his misunderstood character.

Amy Adams' character was revealed to be the true master in the end. Hoffman's character empathizes with Freddy because he desires to be lead and dominated just like him.

Yes. When she with dominante masturbates the master, after he has been a bad boy, Amy Adams has a Stern expression on her face while she gets him off, like a strict teacher punishing a schoolboy.

@andrewmarinelly5838 4 года назад

@@viscerallyvehement6600 In those scenes where Freddie is being used, he isn't truly. He is the one who Dodd trusts to dig up his work,. As controlling as Dodd's wife is she can't control their bond and separate them easily. The relationship was symbiotic until it wasn't and Freddie leaves. Even when he's walking back and forth you can hear him say he wants to be there and can leave at any time.

@enriquedelayeurrea3451 7 лет назад

Great essay, although I would argue that at the end there's actually a change in Freddy. I mean, he is kinda at the same spot he was in the beginning, but when the movie starts his world is chaotic, he is a lost wanderer. At the end of the movie he is himself, but he has learnt about self-loving, acceptance, and he is where he is because he decides to. He has learnt to duel with his past and now Freddy has decided there's no other teaching that matters from Lancaster Dodd.

@daniel_netzel 7 лет назад

I could see that. That's the beauty of the ending, it really could go either way. For all we know Freddie dies of alcohol poisoning, or maybe he goes back to The Master. Maybe he finds some peace in his life, we really don't know. I like your version, it's certainly more optimistic than my take-away.

@bonoplayer99 7 лет назад

@ Enrique Delaye Urrea That is exactly what I think! Yes, Freddy shows some changing at the end of the movie. By the way, there is another film essay that says precisely that. Freddy finds himself by accepting who he is, and now he is ready to establish a relationship with a girl even when his true love will no longer be an option (Doris).

I can’t even begin to thank you for making this and for each and every word you used for the master and what it is. I’ve seen enough world cinema to come to give this personal opinion that very very few films have been able to touch upon this indescribable human honesty and vulnerability as The Master and for anyone who has any sort of deep emotions can just sense it from the first frame only. The Master would be my pick if we ever have to choose a film to leave in space for any future alien civilisation. The Master beneath its surface has humanity written all over it !

@nateds7326 4 года назад

To me, the master is Paul is Thomas Anderson’s greatest work. It’s emotionally resinent,extremely well paced(didn’t think a movie with an average shot length of 10 seconds could be this well edited but it is, jauquin and Philip Seymour are giving the highlights of there careers,Amy Adams and rami maleck fill out the suproting cast nicely, and it’s probably one of the best shot films of all time.

Great video. PTA is a genius and a profound writer. This film has so many layers of meaning, every person proyects as much as people proyect meaning to a piece of poetry. It's really hermetic, like 2001 from kubrick, rarely a film has this kind of mystic feeling of greatness of affecting deep in the soul. Keep searching, this film is underrated in the popular opinion because people don't often return to re-watch films that they don't understand the first time.

Thank you for saying everything I ever wanted to say about this film! It frustrates and downright confounds me why The Master is not regarded as the masterpiece it is, of both modern film and the PT Andersons catalog. When I first heard about the project, I was expecting a salacious tell all about Scientology, but instead, what I got was something so infinitely more meaningful and complex and personal. A story about the most instinctual relationship between two diametrically different men that hate and love and need each other. PT Anderson is so great because he gave me what I needed, not what I wanted :)

We see how Freddie is controlled by his baser needs (sex, alcohol, self amusement), whereas Dodd is controlled by the idea of control itself, by social standing and a desire to comprehend the world around him in an easy-to-digest philosophy. He says to Freddie near the end of the film, when Freddie leaves for the last time, that if he were to become master of himself, he may be the first person ever to truly do so. And by the end, Freddie seems to be finding a way to do this and be happy. But the last shot with him curling up to the sand woman implies that that desire for sex and connection is still in control, and that maybe, no matter what we believe or how fulfilled we are, we will always be controlled by the things we want and think will make us happy. Anyway thanks for the video, it's a great film and deserves to be discussed.

I'd have to say I agree with you. My interpretation involved our animalistic tendencies, but that's actually basically what those psychological terms refer to. I think it shows that he's still a passenger in his life, with his vices having all the control. Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This is my second favorite movie ever. I probably watched it 8 or 10 times, and you made me understand it better. Thank you subscribed

I'm glad you found the video illuminating! It's really an outstanding work of art, Paul Thomas Anderson is a genius.

I think Freddie has transformed from this journey. The last shot of him lying next to the sand sculpture woman, in the beginning, was his true sweetness and a peace he didn’t have too much access to back then (not f’ing the sand woman, not getting hammered off of rocket fuel, not being violet). Then, by actually relating to a person, allowing himself to connect with her (unlike the woman from the department store), being intimate with her with vulnerability, we see he can be in this space with much more ease. I love the journey he went on, ultimately growing past his “master,” by choosing to be without a master.

This (along with Cloud Atlas) are not only the two most underrated films of this decade so far, but the two best films of this decade so far. Would love to hear your (FilmRadar) thoughts on Cloud Atlas at some point.

@daniel_netzel 7 лет назад

I actually haven't seen Cloud Atlas yet, though I am a fan of The Matrix trilogy, and while it was flawed as an adaptation, I overall did enjoy Tykwer's Perfume. I'll definitely have to check it out at some point though!

Hey, great video (and channel, love how you've already been going through some of my favorite movies). I actually rewatched the master just the other week and it went from a bewildered "meh" for me in my first viewing to a near perfect masterpiece. Observing Freddie as an injured animal, lashing out in all directions until he comes under the control of a master really made it much easier to understand his character. I really liked how the movie manages to paint a balanced and kind of sympathetic picture to how sects like the cause attracts lost souls and how sometimes the sense of purpose and being a part of something can, at least to some degree help. I recently watched PTA's latest movie, Inherent Vice and I wonder what's your thoughts on it? I left it kind of the same as my first viewing of the master with a very "meh" feeling, not really understanding what the movie was even going for. Maybe it's the same thing.

@daniel_netzel 7 лет назад

Thank you! I had a similar experience, it's definitely one that gets better the more I see it. And I agree, it doesn't paint The Cause as this manipulative cult, but rather a group with a real purpose of helping people, and for some it does really work. Inherent Vice is a tricky one for me, I read the book first and had a vastly different vision of what PTA would do with the film, I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it wasn't at all what I had imagined. It's one I look forward to seeing again for sure though, I feel like I'll probably like it a lot more on a second viewing.

This was a film that I did not enjoy in the theater but months later when it was released on bluray I watched it by myself and can say it's a personal favorite. I think the theater just didn't work for this film.

@innis17 8 месяцев назад

I agree with most things but I think it's clear that Freddie did learn something from his experience with the master. And it's shown by him repeating the blinking test with the woman that he picked up. Freddie can make deeper connections with the people that he meets. It's not just him in a world of strangers anymore and I think that is progress.

The Master is the best story PTA ever wrote

the jack parsons aleister crowley connection to Ron is truly stranger than fiction.

This is the best PTA film for me. Boogie Nights is second.

@notsorry5332 5 лет назад

I saw other review of the movie and there was idea thar actually Freddy has changed. He became less vulnerable, less insane and more soft and open to people. The scene with the girl in the bar shows it

@christopherjones9798 6 лет назад

I feel like The Master will be more appreciated when some time has passed, and people have seen it a few more times. It's better after you get the first watch "out of the way".

I´ve been watching like 4 reviews before. I completely share your poitnt of view. The religious topic its secundary. The movie was about these two monsters, and what happened when they share a friendship. Its so an emotive piece! Pd. The best scene for me is Joaquin with sand woman, how much lolyness. Thanks for share us (excuse me my terrible english)
