The Master is a thrilling dive into what it is like to lose yourself. War changes everything. And there will always be people (or a person) who seem to have the answer to that big "why" question: Why am I so miserable? Why are we born into such a dreary life? Why can't we all be rich and successful and powerful? Those vulnerable souls, weakened by situation, experiences, or vice, are often captured by the eloquent and charismatic. Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix give tremendous performances. I am truly surprised this film did not get a nod for the best picture Oscar. Really astounding cinema.
