[@jesseyules]

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.

[@JolPil]

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.

[@LucasMartins-dy6no]

you just blow my mind

[@viscerallyvehement6600]

Good point. I think Dodd likes leading, he enjoys controlling, exercising power, and is quite narcisistic, Freddy is sometimes used practically as a pack animal by him, but the wife likes the same things, she enjoys and also leads in a less obvious way, and her husband enjoys being led

[@tonywords6713]

i think freddie is the master

[@andrewmarinelly5838]

@@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]

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]

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]

@ 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).

This to date has been Joaquin's best performance. One of the most tragic characters that I have witnessed on the big screen.

[@daniel_netzel]

Totally agree, might be my favorite of Phil's as well though his performance in Capote is actually mind blowing. This movie is just jam packed with incredible performances.

[@inyostudio]

JP should have won the Oscar for this performance. One of the best ever.

[@DC-zi6se]

Arthur Fleck is his best performance till date. This character of Freddie is a monotonous and eccentric character, which more of often than not are just Oscar-baits.

To me, the ending did mean something. His demeanor has definitely changed from being this animal that is constantly lashing out to being a much more mild mannered individual. 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.

[@72thekel]

I think it was a purposeful symmetry of the way the film unfolds, in that it mirrors freddie's life, unfocused and dishoveled. Hence, the shot of the sea is pretty significant, so much that it is used twice, freddie's life IS at sea, waiting for the next place he washes up at.

[@daniel_netzel]

He's eternally adrift, looking for a purpose he'll likely never find.

It’s definitely one of those films that HAS to be watched more than once, it’s almost required. I love it a little bit more with each subsequent viewing now.

[@SGman3000]

The final scene between Freddie and Dodd is one of my favorite scenes in cinema. It moves me damn near to tears every time I see it.

The Master resonates so deeply with me. I've probably seen it 10 times and I get something new out of it with every viewing. I totally understand that it's not for everybody but it's one of my all time favorites! I appreciate that PTA didn't just tie everything up but instead lets the viewer attribute their own meaning. Also, I totally agree that Punch Drunk Love is very underrated. Great video! Looking forward to checking out more.

[@KushagraaDubeyy]

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 !

[@Pedram-O]

in its essence this movie can pass as a love story... in a weird way that is. All Freddy ever really wanted was genuine love and affection. the end scene of him hugging the sand made female tells a lot about his true desire in life 😢

[@daniel_netzel]

I agree. He's just one lonely sad sack, and I love it xD

[@nateds7326]

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. Easily in the top ten.

[@daniel_netzel]

It's such a close call between this and There Will Be Blood, but the older I get the more I return to The Master. It's truly astonishing.

[@interludica]

Loved your take on the film. This was a movie I, myself, struggled a bit with the first time I watched it, but then the second time, years later I didn't have the same expectations anymore, so I could just enjoy the details, the subtleties of their relationship and, the beauty of a story of a guy who sort of learns to accept himself, even knowing he might never fit in.

[@PlumpPotatoRump]

I finished the movie feeling sad for Freddie, he just does what he does and gets pulled, strung along, tugged, twisted, molded, but he always stays true to him, to who he is, in the end. Having no 'happy end' or 'grandious moment' at the end left me feeling like there was no one else in the room, just me and my thoughts. I like this movie.

[@rajneessingh222]

Finally a simpler and better explanation...and agree to most of it.

[@futuropasado]

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.

Paul Thomas Anderson was able to stand on the back of the amazing ground work he had layed with There Will be blood etc and climb to even greater heights because of it.& That's not even mentioning all the other innumerable incredible things about it, Philip Seymour Hoffman as Lancaster Dodd ( "I love Kools,,the minty flava", funny that they use Kools as the brand since most people think Kool aid was "used by Jim Jones" at Jonestown even though it wasn't it was flava aid.dont know if this is a purposeful connection but it fits)Amy Adams( the master's master giving Dodd a handshandy into the sink,)Jesse Plemons ( oh I see the resemblance) Laura fucking Dern,Rami Meleck,Ambyr Childers etc,the music,the incredible cinematography,story, etc etc etc it's so fucking dreamy,its more than a movie it is a masterclass, truly a masterpiece

[@debrachambers1304]

0:34 it absolutely is not. Inherent Vice is the one that people tend to not like much.

[@MikeydeLaraCovers]

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.

[@michalroesler]

Yeah - so now I got 2 watch the movie again, having what was here explained in mind. I never understood this movie, but I keep coming back to it, once in a while. It's so much different, than these other mainstream movies. Paul Thomas Anderson is very unsettling director.

[@leopoldschmidt6208]

What the film and the story of Freddie Quell (Quelle ... quarrel) tell me is that a traumata haunts you a whole life. With time you will handle it better but it is deep in you. At the end Freddie returns to his origin. Hollywood thinks they need plot twists and development of character but poetic films dont need this. Before I watched The Master I watched Last Tango in Paris. Brando as the same broken character.

[@Elusive_Reclusive]

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 :)

[@daniel_netzel]

It's sad, but I understand. It's kind of hard to follow, it has a slow pace, there's really no resolution to anything, and it was barely shown in theaters. That said, I agree, it is a complete masterpiece, and one of PTA's best.

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

[@pocketsesmcflurry2146]

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.

[@daniel_netzel]

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!

How can you not be hooked with that amazing opening score. The chord change when the camera looks at Freddy squinting gaze blows me away every time. Music and pictures, he is so right. The fact he is a unique story teller too makes him the greatest living film maker in my opinion.

When Lancaster Dodd shouts "Pig F***" he loses some credibility as a benevolent guru.

[@anonb4632]

acactus26 Rob Ager is interesting but is liable to talking rubbish, and failing to acknowledge the role of writers as opposed to directors.

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)
