Freddie in the movie is like a human yo-yo, mentally unstable, at the mercy of animalistic instincts and unwilling to live a straight life. Master, while priding himself as the superego human, finds connection with Freddie on the primal instinct level of human Existence. What is LIVING then? In reality, Philip Seymour Hoffman is such a natural born actor. Too sad he was lost to drug abuse. But acting in itself is atypical living - killing oneself (metaphorically) and completely dissolving into another life. Maybe the ability to dissolve oneself is the key to good acting. Then what is LIVING?

    Some people outside the world do not know, there are masters above the capable. Masters are also made by mortals, but mortals are too crazy.

    The rise of Scientology? Spiritual emptiness? Naval photographer Reaper 3904's decadent spirit hopes to find sustenance, but detachment and human nature are irreconcilable, and finally separate and combine. Not understanding is only revered for the sake of reverence.

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.
