Elements contained in The Master: Love Sexual Religion. This reminds me of Netflix's best animation of the year "Love Death and Robots". But the reason for the latter's animation production is that its visual effects are more exciting, and the 12-episode short story is like a visual feast.
"The Master" is a real-life framing, an advance that has more color and beauty than a rough western set shot like Bloody. Performed by real people. The shaping of characters' emotions and characters is simply textbook level. Another movie that is very good in shaping the mood and emotion of the characters, "Billy Lynn's Halftime Story", sees the techniques of Chinese director Ang Lee. Its rhythm is easier to accept.
Likewise, The Master really defines cinema. What is a movie. Is it telling a story? I think this film is less about narrative and more about representation. The unique editing and the abstracted and minimalist narrative, the male protagonist's changes in the beginning of the work are like several small chapters. There are no lines in the middle, just because the title explains that veterans can do different jobs to perceive. And the development of many stories in the future is also because the audience can speculate the general clues, so many places are like chapters. There is no line connection in between. And what is the feeling you create for the audience? Maybe after watching the movie, what we remember is not the story, but the character. Did I see my heart in him? See my shadow? The other is the double enjoyment of the combination of sound and picture.
What can be seen in The Master? In the masters you can see Kubrick and you can see Coppola. It can be seen that in this entertainment era, PTA prefers to explore human nature and religion. Serious philosophical spirit. And does Custer have Coppola's style in the movie? A strong masculinity affects Freddie as much as his father.
Today, when light analysis is more easily accepted by audiences with unique stories and picture aesthetics, I think the look and feel created by PTA's films is really unique. There is no shortage of unique clips with unique narratives. Make the movie cinematic. At the same time, I want to analyze and discuss in depth like the spirit of a serious philosopher. Movies have three layers of formal story cores. I think he's a great director at the core. His philosophy goes beyond storytelling.
Doesn't "The Master" seem like a movie? No, it's defining the movie, he makes the movie more meaningful!
