- 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.

For me this is Joaquin's Oscar worthy performance, his facial performance was absolutely stunning in the breakdown scene
This movie is like a really great song that you can't understand the lyrics to. It makes you want to listen to it over and over again until you get it. Most movies are like pop songs. You don't even have to try to understand them
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.
The interrogation is one of the best scenes I've ever seen
Joaquins upper lip scar adds to his frieddie quell character
Yea if you don’t like amazing performances and cinematography you might be bored.
This to date has been Joaquin's best performance. One of the most tragic characters that I have witnessed on the big screen.
Joaquin Phoenix performance in this movie is the best acting I have ever seen. Especially the processing scene. He deserved that oscar 100% more than DDL.
I'll never understand why Jaoquin didn't take home the Oscar for this... whether or not the content of the film is up your alley, you can't deny brilliant he is
In the future people will talk about The Master in the same breath as they do Citizen Kane
Great essay, although I would argue that at the end there's actually a change in Freddy.
a wounded animal will often be expelled from its clan so their only option becomes to wander alone in the wilderness and wait to die a slow lonely death
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.
This film breaks my heart like no other.
I think freddy changed a bit after met the master
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.
The score is icing on the cake. I love PTA.
This film is a masterpiece for me. I think it's one that people will, and are, appreciating more after the fact rather than when it came out too.
Phoenix...wow....masterly in this film..
Freddie is perhaps the clearest example I know of what ADDICTION is.
