Dreg and dodd
Paul Thomas Anderson is a genius. With films such as There Will Be Blood, Magnolia, Boogie Nights, he has already established himself as one of the best directors of his generation. Now with The Master he returns to prove what movies are truly capable of.
A World War II veteran, Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix), returns after the end of the war, sex-obsessed and alcoholic, trying his best to adapt to his new environment. He stumbles and bumbles his way to the yacht of Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the leader of a cultish philosophical movement called “The Cause.” After going through some “processing” techniques with Dodd, Freddie becomes a hardy supporter of
“The Cause” and violently takes care of some of its detractors.
Joaquin Phoenix plays the character of Freddie with a raw, exposed nerve. He drives the film with mixes of humour and determination and a never ending novelty. Freddie is as untameable and unpredictable as the film itself.
The Master does not shy away from anything. Whether showing the sex-obsessed imagination of Freddie or exposing the practices of the sham religion which Lancaster Dodd preaches, which is creepingly similar to Scientology, the film never does all the explaining. It ties together some deeply contemplate-able thoughts about war, humanity, religion, love, authority and belief and leaves you to ponder about it.
If you still doubt that cinema is the most powerful medium of expression, The Master will make you believe it.
