The Master

Paul Thomas Anderson Ranked I don't think that I can write a full review of this film that covers everything about why I love it and why it feels so important, but just know that it's amazing. For now, just know that all of the performances are perfect, the cinematography is breathtaking, the score is haunting and beautiful, the costumes and sets are fantastic, and the writing is funny, heartbreaking, smart, and incredibly thoughtful.  On top of those, it boasts incredibly dense ideas about the nature of desire and what we want out of life. This film is, in essence, about the meaning of life. Don't think of that as an intimidating thing; it's a really great movie even without all of that. But the incredible level of philosophical commentary provided by this film is what really pushes it over the edge for me as a masterpiece.  It's essentially perfect, better every time I see it, and it's only my third favorite PTA film. This man is an absolute genius.  TL;DR - Nobody:  No one: Not a fucking soul: Freddy Quell: Wanna fuck? :)
