Flicker, then flicker

"The Master" is not a pleasant movie, especially for Americans. It is a movie that strongly doubts the disintegration of the American dream and American spirit, and runs counter to mainstream values. Just like "The Deserted City", it describes the other side of mainstream culture. Therefore, when "Escape from Tehran" was like an obedient elementary school student who successfully completed the homework and was praised by the teacher, "The Master" was full of untimely, full of coldness, ignorance, cunning, hypocrisy, fragility and confusion.

In the 1950s before the Vietnam War and the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., a beat generation and hippie culture was emerging. As a ukiyo-e painting of American national spirit after World War II, "Master" deeply depicts the mental state and development direction of Americans after World War II.

Especially represented by the protagonist Freddy, who returned from the battlefield was caught off guard by the earth-shaking changes in the country. The shadow of war has always been shrouded, and his psychological problems are very serious. After his attempt to integrate into the new society failed, he decided to exile himself, but on his way to fate, he ran into Lancaster, the master who gave him a glimmer of hope. In the process of chasing and protecting the "master" Lancaster, I gradually saw the two sides of faith, understood the relationship between myself and the master, and discovered that the extremely shameless side of the seemingly perfect master family was inspired by the master Next, Freddy learned to look at everything rationally and found his place in it.

The most outstanding ability of a master is to fool, fool all those who can fool. The People's Daily official Weibo said: Thailand's political turmoil has developed to this day, and the political phenomena in some developing countries are worthy of deep consideration. Why can't the one-person-one-vote election system bridge the social gap? Canadian scholar Pei Tanning believes that if multi-party democracy creates uncompromising violent electoral groups, then most thoughtful people will choose one-party governance that can maintain social stability.

Well, I'm convinced you, you are a master, Fudge, then Fudge. . . .

    The overall style of the movie and the high amount of information entropy are what I think is the authorship of PTA. The information conveyed by the film is not much, but it requires the audience to introduce a large amount of information to eliminate uncertainty. The Chrisma-type characters are thinly formed, and the people who break free are too hard. How the latter is tamed by the former and how the two depend on each other are still a little vague in the movie.

    The Master shows us a story, a dialogue, a possibility, but at the same time, it doesn't tell us anything, it doesn't say anything, it goes beyond words and descriptions, maybe it's art in itself, maybe it's something else thing. It's special, for that alone, I'm convinced

    Freddie Quell: No, I can work.

    Lancaster Dodd: You're aberrated.

    Freddie Quell: No I'm not!

  • Clark: [talking to Freddy about Doris during a test] She got rid of you, right? She saw you for what you are. Selfish. And alone. You should go into the hospital with your mother. 'Cause that's where you belong. 'Cause you're sick. And you're tired. And you need to be alone, away from people.
