The Master, (and P)-- once more, bustin' outta the fifties.

One major theme (outta Pynchon),  I think,  can be stated this way:

*The Master *is mostly about that post-war charisma--Hoffman as
Master---that Pynchon
warned about at the end of GR.

A--and, all that "connected in history" together between Phoenix and
Hoffman might be
Anderson's take on paranoia (outta GR).....

And all of Phoenix's self-destructiveness and cluelessness, his self-dammed
erotic drive--- is--tentatively anyway?--overcome  in the last scene. ??
