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.

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 жыл бұрын

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 жыл бұрын

@ 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).

Sure, he still picks up the girl, but it feels more.. Normal. In a stark contrast to the beginning. That's what group therapy has been for me. Facing things I didn't want to talk about, learning what I could and still going about my daily life in a different way, but the same.

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.

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 !

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 :)

The Masters is arguably my third favorite film of PTA I truly loved it from the first time I saw it.

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.

Great stuff Film Radar. A top 5 film for me. I'm curious Sir Film Radar, what is your mic+recorder set up? The quality sounds great and love the texture of how the mic renders your voice. I've been looking for a mic that has this sound similar to yours.

Thank you! I use an MXL 990 with a Mic Mate pre amp. I use a couple little tricks in Audition to mix and master. Any relatively cheap condenser mic should do the trick for you if you set it up right, and know a little bit about mixing.

I really liked your review.I have loved PTA's "Magnolia", "Boogie Nights","Punch-drunk love","TWBB" and "Phantom Thread" but this film really baffled me.I won't say this is boring.This is really entertaining( thanks to good performances) but it made me to feel "WTF".Will rewatch it again.

PTA’s circular character arches are very similar to stably Kubrick witch I find awesome in a lot of ways almost saying that it doesn’t matter the shit you go through you’ll end up the way you were in the beginning

@daniel_netzel 5 жыл бұрын

For sure, same is true for Boogie Nights, There Will Be Blood. Granted, I don't think has to be the case in the real world, I think almost anyone can change, but there's an astonishing amount of people who stay the same throughout their entire lives.

Great vid man. I have a bit of a different interpretation of the ending with the sand woman. The movie is essentially about the relationship between the id (Freddie) and the ego (Dodd), and how these elements control our lives in different ways. 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 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.

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)

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 жыл бұрын

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.

@innis17 6 ай бұрын

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.
