The Master (2012)
Directed and written by Paul Thomas Anderson
Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymur Hoffman
▶️ You can find it on HBO MAX in Mexico
Synopsis: A Navy veteran returns with mental problems and no purpose in life after World War II. Until he meets Lancaster Dodd, the leader of a religious group called The Cause who offers him a job.
When I finished watching this movie I didn't really know how to feel about it, since it seemed like a masterpiece in every way but it didn't quite connect with me. Something that happens to me a lot with Paul Thomas Anderson's cinema is that he is a director who leaves you thinking about his films and what they really want to say, for many this story can talk about how Scientology is a religion that was formed based on people looking for a purpose after the war, for others about the relationship between a teacher who seeks to leave his teachings on someone and a student who refuses to receive them. Being completely honest, although it is not my favorite of the director's, it seems to me to be one of his best works, especially his most psychological film. What stood out the most is the extraordinary lighting in the photography and the amazing performances of Joaquin Phoenix but especially Philip Seymur Hoffman, both delivering the best role of their careers in my opinion.
In the end I would simply criticize that while watching it I felt somewhat disconnected from some scenes but on second thought it is a great film, Tqm PTA.
