! ! ! 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, control and control in this relationship.

The photography is very good, and the two escape shots are impressive: the male protagonist runs wildly in the field, and rides and rides on a motorcycle in the Gobi. The leader said at first that he was riding so fast, which was great, but later found that he was riding farther and farther... Well, it turned out to be running away, and there was no warning before. Maybe the male protagonist just rode and rode away, thinking that it would be good to lose the leader like that, so he happily threw him away...

I find this relationship fascinating and tense. Although the story is really rubbish, but because I have never seen such a relationship portrayal, coupled with the moving photography and soundtrack, it feels great (although I watched it at 3x speed).

    It's so long but I don't feel like seeing anything. He should be trying to vaguely say that Scientology is a group of liars, so it can't cure a person's emotions and desires at all, but in fact, he saw two men who didn't shoot much at each other boringly scolding each other. Venice probably gave him the prize to encourage him or he would be drowned by the spitting gang of Hollywood Scientologists. Fenix ​​played too hard.

    A master full of charisma rather than theoretical talent, a wife and hypocritical children whose beliefs are firm enough to be dictatorial, so everything just returns to the original point in the end. There is no real altar collapsing, no dramatic conflict, and mutual tacit understanding. It is probably the atmosphere created by the whole film that attracts me.

The Master quotes

  • Lancaster Dodd: Marriage, previous to The Cause, was *awful*. Awful. There's a cycle, like life. Birth, excitement, growth, decay. Death. Now... now. How about this? Here comes, a large dragon. Teeth! Blood dripping! Red eyes! What do I got? A lasso. And I whip it up, I wrap it around its neck, and I wrestle! Wrestle! Wrestle him to the ground. I snap up, I say "Sit, dragon!" Dragon sits. I say "Stay!", dragon stays. Now it's got a leash on. Take it for a walk. And that's what-where we're at with it now. It stays on command. Next we're gonna teach it to roll over and play dead.

  • Lancaster Dodd: What a day. We fought against the day and we won. We won.
