      The Master--This Is A Movie Suitable For The Niche

      On New Year's Eve, it was surprisingly quiet. A movie that was so niche that it could no longer be niche added to the mystery, the plot of the niche, and the description of the niche. I'm sorry I couldn't even understand the movie when it ended. At first glance, the movie has the shadow of "Shutter Island." It is also after World War II, and it also talks about people who have been traumatized...

      Psychology blockbuster. should be translated as "Master"

      The title The Master was translated into "The Master", and it was found that many translators had a strong subjective awareness when translating the title. And they all have the psychological characteristics of Chinese people. When I watched a movie before, it was inevitable that I was first brought into the preconceived consciousness by the Chinese title. The specific misdeeds are not listed one by one. The good thing this time is that the original English version has no preconceived notions....

      Who is the master of whom? - Review of the movie "The Master"

      Thomas Anderson's films always have an air of pretense that makes one see his philosophical ambitions. "Master" naturally inherits this style. Compared with the previous work, the elegant and weird atmosphere in the film is even more confusing. Of course, movies that are too philosophical are also a torment for the audience. Sitting on the sofa, I changed my viewing position several times to prevent myself from falling asleep. On the whole, the film is still very good. Although the story is...

      Liars are everywhere

      1. Will the two male lead actors feel empty and depressed after the performance?

      2. This kind of "master" actually needs you more. He needs a "patient", a patient who is suspected but cannot be cured, and he really cannot cure you!

      3. There are liars everywhere. It depends on the rank. This person who pretends to be a "master" is a high-level film.

      4. He needs love for treatment. He is still very "simple" towards women. He has never dared to find that girl, but he...

      ! ! ! It looks so complicated.

      As far as the story goes, it's rubbish, with no basic story elements. Like yesterday's film, it's just the director's personal show. But I like this director...

      Some people say that this is a movie about a cult, but I don't think so... It's mainly about the relationship between the male lead and the leader, similar to S and M, superego and id, philosopher and the danger of beautiful hair that he has domesticated. beast. There is healing and escape,...

      The mortal world filled with the smell of bodily fluids, and the texture of flesh and skin can be interpreted by PTA as a thick and distant classical atmosphere. At best, the dispute over the prototype of the story is just a small footnote to such a grand ambition. Go beyond, and back. To the sea, and all the way to yourself. Animals. You fucking animals....

      When the PTA is more and more abandoning the bells and whistles in the technique, and becoming more and more unattainable in the theme, I will also stay away from...

      As the master said, this lunatic never left the master. It's not because he believes in a cult, on the contrary, I think the treatment was successful. Through memory and imagination he regained control of himself and returned to life. It is actually a practice! The part where I started taking pictures was really...

    Evaluation action

    "Master" does not provide a way of catharsis, but it brings a lot of thinking to the audience. Through the stories of psychologists and assistants, the film deeply digs into the mysterious core of human emotions, and explores the way of individual emotional liberation and self-salvation. The film does not simply expose the cult scandal. The teachings and insights conveyed by Lancaster Dowd in the film can be clearly seen as he...

      Freddie Quell: No, I don't think so.

    • Lancaster Dodd: My daughter's getting married, come join us! Leave your worries for awhile, they will still be there when you get back, and your memories aren't invited.

    • Clark: I don't think Freddie is as committed to the cause as the cause is committed to him.
