Our very first pick for 2023 Movie Club is.... THE MASTER dir. by Paul Thomas Anderson  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WTM8eO1Oec quote:A Naval veteran arrives home from war unsettled and uncertain of his future - until he is tantalized by the Cause and its charismatic leader. While we will draw for another movie next Monday, all movies will have a two week period to be watched and reviewed. The deadline for this film is Jul 24.

this movie was loving retarded and epic lol  im just going to put my review/discussion/whatever of it in spoilers so no bitch rear end little babies get the movie they shouldve watched by now ruinedso like the guy is a lunatic and at the beginning i feel like his navy buddies are screwing with him but that just might be my perception but i get the feeling they know hes a loon and they make him drink and have sex with beach sculptures for their amusement but who the hell knows and thats the main thing is who the hell knows describes this movie so well on a surface level its about a crazy who cant hold a job after leaving the service he just cant reintegrate with society and its potentially some form of ptsd he gets swept into a cult reminiscent of scientology except its reconciling with your past selves ie your ancestors or spirits that still live within you kind of like some thetan poo poo the cult leader acts like a psychologist/therapist who puts people under hypnosis but he sees it as something slightly different because hes also crazy also theres this lady who seems to be the real leader of this cult and might actually be a real doctor and maybe both hoffman(lancaster) and phoenix(freddie) are patients but again nothing is firmly answered and they get into also sorts of culty hijinks and then the movie ends with joaquin phoenix on the beach again next to the sand lady sculpture it doesnt seem like anybody actually gets cured or theres any resolution but i have some thoughts which i have no idea are right or wrong so its probably going to just seem like gibberish but here i go the first thought i had was that yes indeed, he has ptsd from being bullied in the navy, and the boat he randomly jumps into was somehow orchestrated to be some sort of new radical experimental therapy because joaquin is a psychosexual kleptomaniac on a path of selfdestruction but as the film goes on i dont think that hits the nail on the head, especially with the ending so another random thought i had to try and rationalize the film was kind of goofy and out there and it might actually be decently close to the truth but i still dont know but i sort of thought that maybe this is just the movies attempt at almost showing a neural network thats on the fritz, freddie is sort of the id and impulsivity that our stupid animal brains most connect with on a fundamental level which is why lancaster who is at the center of the cult/metaphorical brain seems to most relate to it even as other parts of the "brain" reject it the way the other characters in the cult display varying levels of paranoia or jealousy or critical thought ect ect made me think they represented other portions of our consciousness the reason i kind of think this works at least in some ways is because the loving movie super mario bros 2s you at the end and makes me feel like freddie was sort of in self-healing mode after a manic episode on the beach, essentially we saw his brain attempting to repair itself and come to terms with itself after a major freakout the only thing i can think of beyond that is going back to lancaster purporting that previous lives are at the fault of all our mental and physical health issues and maybe lancaster is freddies past self? so at the end when freddie finally parts ways with lancaster and there seems to be a resolution, thats why it cuts back to the beach because he did indeed complete the point of the cults strange therapy session the movie is really loving weird and thats about all i can possibly pull from it myself its no freddy got fingered but its up there i really liked the movie and beyond the plot weirdness it was extremely well acted and shot and its a great looking movie its just also very dense and hard to compartmentalize thanks for reading

Haven't seen any other PTA films besides this and There Will Be Blood but it's really impressive how he gets such over the top and intense performances out of the leads without it feeling forced.

yeah didnt know anything apart from the poster and it ruled being just as clueless about where this is going as Freddie was. i had this building sense of dread but also curiosity as the movie went on and then it was over. what a great loving movie

I watched last night and I've been thinking about it since then. I don't think I have any skill in cinematic analysis so I'll just list some of my thoughts. - Joaquin Phoenix is the best actor of hosed up weirdos - Liked the soundtrack. - The scene with Lancaster arguing with Pig gently caress was fantastic. PSH was great in all of the scenes where he's questioned slightly and goes totally nuts. - I really enjoyed the little glimpses of genuine friendship between Freddie and Lancaster. I wonder if Freddie really could have been helped if they had a normal relationship instead of a cult thing Overall I liked it a lot. I'm sorry to say I'd never even heard of this movie until now... it somehow flew totally under my radar. Whoever picks the next one is going to have a difficult choice.

ok. obviously this movie kicks rear end. psh and joaquin are so fuckin good it's unbelievable and pam from the office did a great job too. its incredible that this is all just an atmosphere piece, from the beginning of their relationship you keep waiting for the other shoe to drop and it never does, th climax of the movie is psh singing joaquin a love song lol. i kept hopin that freddie would get fixed but you cant fix whats not broken and he doesnt think he's broken. amazing soundtrack, amazing characters, absolutely incredible acting. ★★★★
