There's really no spoilers to give away. Fucked up nomadic loner meets charismatic cult leader and becomes his protege. That's about it, plotwise.

It does present this tendency in people to be subjugated to an ideology in order to find peace with themselves. And Freddie was the guy who was unable to be compliant, yet at the same time, both Master and Freddie are very much alike. Maybe Freddie's presence throughout "The Cause" brought a primal and somewhat childish side out of The Master that had been lost some time ago. A good example would be the scene where Freddie returns from prison, and they see each other for the first time since behind bars as they tackle each other to the ground, laughing while Hoffman slaps his butt. Apparently, that whole thing was not part of the script! it just happened, which kind of gives it a more authentic vibe or something.

I could go on about it, I just love how PTA makes films with heart, and doesn't really sugarcoat his work. It does challenge you a bit. I still don't fully "get" the ending where The Master sings that song and says to Freddie, "If you leave here, I don't ever want to see you again". It's mostly because both have maintained the same level of gratification. He doesn't say it out of malice. My interpretation was that Freddie's inability to be "tamed" to that ideology, as well as his effect on The Master's behavior was sort of detrimental to the whole cause. It only seems to spiral downward, especially when Master is taken to jail. It's basically a seasaw effect.

I don't know, a lot of people I've spoken to found the film disappointing. I did too the first time I saw it... but it has gotten better with each watch for me. Also, I found the acting performances and the music very moving.

Excellent reading of the film.... my personal fave from last year. Also, don't discredit the fact that, basically, even tho PT Anderson's films are ALL about the father-son dynamic (since his own relationship with his father was unfulfilling to say the least) "The Master" feels like his most raw and pointed. That final scene is devastating when taken in the context of a father and son and the father sending him out into the world on his own to survive or fail.

Is the reboot completely different?

The show is amazing, but school has taken up a lot of my time

The first movie is exactly the same...except for a few things...but still very minor. As for the second movie....like half of it I don't remember. I'm pretty sure this is where they begin to really differ. I don't remember some spy chick stealin' an EVA. But yeah...animation is neat and all improved n stuff. I seriously can't wait for 3.0 though. I need it now! There's a stream of theatre footage....but it looks like crap.

cgi is still creepy, but the action was excellent (spielberg) and the voices were great (haddock especially). shit brought back childhood memories.
