Paul Thomas Anderson's character study "The Master" is the subject of this video essay, the film tells of a soldier coming home from the war gives us some of the best work from the brilliant Joaquin Phoenix, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, among others. It seems to divide people, many wondering what the point of the film even is, this video aims to look at Freddie, and help shed more light on his misunderstood character.
