MOVIE INFO

A striking portrait of drifters and seekers in post World War II America, Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master unfolds the journey of a Naval veteran (Joaquin Phoenix) who arrives home from war unsettled and uncertain of his future - until he is tantalized by The Cause and its charismatic leader (Philip Seymour Hoffman).
Thoughts:  I tried - I really, really did try - to figure out what was gong on and why.  Unfortunately, it was to no avail.  The acting was incredible, but the story was.......nuts.
