The Master
Complex and character driven banger from PTA
This is my third try watching this and I’m glad I finally got through it this films pretty fucking good
The visual style is one of the best I’ve ever seen the camera used is perfect and makes everything look absolutely stunning it is a feast for the eyes
The acting also is fucking unbelievable there are some amazing performances. Pheonix is at his best even better than joker, Adam’s is evil and snide and amazing and Hoffman is just perfect his performance is stunning.
The characters are so well made and brilliant to watch. No one’s good but who’s the worst it’s so hard to tell.
The scenes of emotional torture and manipulation are done so so so well.
The ending is great as it leaves so many stuff open to interpretation and idk what to think.
The comments on Scientology and their methods are j mean as clear as day.
Very tense and dramatic
Great writing
Love the long static camera scenes to help build tension
Great cast too. Weird how much Plemons looks like Hoffman.
But yeah amazing film just a few dull parts needing to go for a 10
