A few days ago, I left a comment on another Hiver's review of this movie, mentioning that I was only a few minutes in and already feeling let down. Sadly, that feeling stuck with me right to the end. I had huge expectations because this is a Paul Thomas Anderson project, and it has a killer cast—Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Benicio del Toro.

Joaquin Phoenix gives the best performance of his career as Freddie Quell, a troubled World War II veteran who spirals into self-destruction.

Saludos estimados, hoy quisiera hablar de una película que recomiendo ver de hace ya algunos años y que parece que no tiene el reconocimiento que se merece, Y hablo de "The Máster" está que para mi criterio es una de las mejores películas estrenadas en el año 2012. >Greetings dear, today I would like to talk about a movie that I recommend to see from a few years ago and that seems that it does not have the recogniti…More
Boy, is this one a challenge. The question "what is it about?" is almost too concise. One should rather ask "is this really a movie?". Now in a scientific sense it is, but plot- and story wise, i am not so sure. There is a basic story about a second world war veteran, Freddie, meeting a strange cult leader, Dodd.
