Fwd: Gravity's Audio

[Mark Kohut]

THE MASTER is a still-unrecognized masterpiece, flawed 'only' by it's
episodic, thematic shorthand structure.
Bet when the 'full' vision is released, probably after most of us are
dead.....there will still be folks who don't like it. Always are.

The postwar wounded American male--Phoenix with the Ed Sullivan arms
pose, with character armor that can't contain him ; the deep "need' to
follow leaders; Charisma--that postwar disease--and more.

Three, count-em, 3 direct allusions to TRP's work.

The scene where Phoenix is made to walk back-and-forth between the
walls while all 'play' outside......is almost sublime and will become
legendary.

But I'm nobody, and few believe me and who are you?

I think he was referring to BE here, not IV.
