- 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.

using this space to talk about anything movies is a great time so feel free to comment
That's a great undersranding of what "The Master" is about. Of course, like you said, "The Master" has many themes in it, but by the end of the film it is about Freddy Kuell. That was definitely missed on me the first, and only time I saw the film. I had a cynical look on the film. I thought it was trying to say how all people are messed up and can't change for the better. That take on it was probably more a reflection of my own perspective on my own life at the time than an accurate understanding of "The Master." Glad to get another perspective on the film. Thanks.
I finished watching this and went to, I assumed, add to a mountain of likes. That this only has 395 views is absurd to me. I'll comfortably call this video essay wildly intelligent and beautiful. Thanks for helping me with my understanding of the film and for taking your time to share your knowledge! Great stuff
This was so so beautiful man. At the end of the video, I literally said ‘wow’. Its such a great feeling when you find someone who felt the same way as I felt about, understood the same way as I understood and loved the same way as I loved this often misunderstood, polarising, underrated masterpiece. I think thats what a sense of community and belonging is.
Omg. Bro this is FANTASTIC!!! No no no, don't apologize, that was VERY VERY intelligent. No one is wasting time here. Looking forwards to more!!
I'm about to see The Master in 70mm in Atlanta and was searching for a new perspective to view through. I'm so glad I found this video!
You deserve 10x the amount of subscribers (not that that’s important) really interesting essay on the film, thanks!
Just watched The Master for the first time earlier this evening. Followed my routine of coming to TH-cam to read reviews, etc. So glad I found this video. I enjoyed it immensely. New subscriber here! Thank you. Look forward to checking out more of your content.
This was beautiful dude. Thank you
This was very well done! Awesome job
really enjoyed this one, hope to see more videos coming in the future !
I was listening to an interview with a cult expert & she said this was the best movie she’d ever watched about cults. That’s how I found you & this video. Well done. Thank you.
Really appreciate your thoughts on this watched through to the end & will be watching more
The last two minutes of this video is powerful
This made my day. Thank you.
Phenomenal interpretation
Great Job Buddy 👌👏
I haven't yet watched this film but your video was interesting. Thanks
I really liked this video/talk. I will watch this movie again. Thank You
Has anyone noticed the part where he is singing A Roving and then people are suddenly naked like Amy Adams is sitting there and then she is suddenly naked sitting the same way, I feel like it’s just apart of Freddie’s imagination also the part where Freddie is sleeping in the movie theater and then gets a phone call delivered to him and it’s like it is a dream. I think Freddie is a little delusional and a lost cause. There is so much to take from this film it’s amazing. It’s one of my favorite movies and stories ever. Freddie Quell is one of the most striking characters I’ve ever known and Phoenix plays him so incredibly well it’s what made me absolutely love Joaquin Phoenix, it’s a performance of a lifetime to me. I think that Dodd loves Freddie so much because this man believes in him so much, it is a bit of a love story but no a homosexual one, not for me
