Freddie was unable to integrate into a civilized life after returning from the battlefield. The first job as a photographer is the most representative. He stands behind the camera, and every customer is a happy smiling face. He smiles all over his face, saying that he is flattering. If you do, press the shutter. One day he finally couldn't help but challenged the hypocritical civilization in the most brutal way against a fat man in a suit and leather shoes. Then he went to the barbarian's farm, and he said to an old farmer, you are like my father. This is similar to a sense of belonging. But the old farmer died of the "cocktail" he made. The master met Freddie for the first time and said that you are too familiar to me. Was the master also a manic alcoholic before? From then on, Freddie began to follow the master. After the first treatment, after Freddie was convinced by the master and landed ashore, the master began to be questioned for the first time. A scientific theorist, the master was forced to swear. Freddie taught the man out of blind love. The second time he questioned the son of the master, Freddie taught him a lesson. While being locked up in a cell, Freddie completely broke out of a crisis of belief in the master, and his inner contradictions made him manic like a beast. After being released from prison, Freddie’s long-term treatment by the master seemed to have improved. This seemingly meaningless treatment process could continue to be completed, largely based on Freddie’s unconditional trust in the master. The master found the unpublished works in the desert and published Book2 with a hint of hesitation. At the new book launch meeting, the master gave a close-up of Freddie’s face after his opening remarks. Freddie seemed to be the first time he spoke about the master’s remarks. After thinking about it, the doubt came from his heart this time. A female disciple, the original follower of the master, asked: Does the change from "memory" to "imagination" mean that all theories have been completely overthrown? The master couldn't respond, furious. At this point, the master seems to have taken another path, from psychotherapy to the creation of religion. During the press conference, Bill, one of the first followers of the master, told Friddie that Book2 was rubbish. This paragraph is very interesting. B asked F what did he think of the Master's Book2. F thought for a while and did not answer, but instead asked: What do you think? Bill just said: rubbish. Friddie invited Bill out of the venue. He did not directly respond this time and killed Bill on the spot. Instead, he asked to go out and kill him. It must be a psychological struggle on the way. Mixed with his own thinking about the master’s suspicion, the master’s treatment of him all the time (don’t respond), maybe he still wants to talk to Bill Discuss why Book2 is rubbish, but in the end he still instinctively used force to maintain the status of the master in his mind. Vent the restlessness of his questioning of the master on Bill. The Point Frideie chose in the Pick the point game is the home of her first love, but she is married. This is the most vulnerable point in Friddie’s heart. Friddie has controlled his emotions this time, although we can still see his love. sad. Fridde performed very well this time. How much is this because of the master's treatment? How much is Friddie's self-thinking aroused by the master's treatment? Friddie sinks into Doris at the cinema Day's movie shows that he is once again in an inextricable situation. I think the call he received was not from the master, but from him himself. It’s too unrealistic for someone in the cinema to hand over a telephone. Friddie also said: How did you find me? Going to the master’s new huge office (I didn’t read this paragraph too clearly), Peggy saw Friddie’s fall again, believing that he was hopeless, and also saw that he had questioned the master’s faith from the bottom of his heart. He will no longer be as religiously superstitious as he used to be, and leave the meeting angrily. The master sang "Slow Boat to China" as parting words, and Friddie understood it and left tears, and the master also shed tears. Finally, Friddie returned to his daily life, he can also flirt and enjoy sex. In the process of making love to a bloated woman in a dirty environment, Friddie imitated the method the master used when he was treated for the first time, flirting with the woman, and the master's religion and philosophy were completely pulled off the altar. Ending: Friddie lying on the chest of the woman piled with sand at the beginning of the film, echoing from end to end. The master’s philosophy, religion, and hypnotherapy are good or bad, but I didn’t clearly say it, but after reading it carefully, the director still revealed that the master is a very charming person. At the beginning, he may explore a way of treatment. A philosophical and speculative exploration of the fate of the human mind. During the treatment of Friddie, the master seemed to have discovered the superstition-like magic brought by his own charm, and since then embarked on the road of founding religion, and his writings have become less rigorous and obsessed with his own belief exploration, by changing keywords. Adapt to more readers. This is really a very good movie. He reminded us that we must have our own thinking, try, and explore before we can become the first person who "can live without the master". We are ourselves.

After sleeping and waking up, I have another idea. The director actually hopes that we understand the master and Friddie as the two sides of the same person, spirituality and animality. The dialogue in the movie is guided: the master asked Friddie, do you remember where and when we first met? The master said: You are too familiar to me. The master said on the phone: We were originally one.
Another point is that I overlooked a super important person last night: Peggy. On a certain level, Peggy is the real master. After carefully reviewing the plot, I discovered that Peggy is the master behind the master. The master is only responsible for standing in front of people, using his hypnotic ability and performance ability to display his personal charm, and all the explanations of the master are actually spoken by Peggy. And every time the master gives a speech, the director always arranges two shots to show Peggy's expression. This should not be a random editing without an origin. I firmly believe that every shot has the meaning of the director. And Peggy's masturbation for the master shows this mind control through sexual control.
It can be understood like this: Peggy is the representative of human civilization and society. She restrains, restricts, and guides the master, so that the master can establish a sect in the civilized society. Freddie is the incarnation of the animal in the master's mind, longing for absolute freedom and not accepting a trace. The disguise is destined to be unable to integrate into the civilized society (even after the master's long training and domestication), and finally returned to the original point.
