I think I’d love Luther. Also, remember her in Masterpiece’s Jane Eyre?

constantlyinspired: If the processing/auditing that the Master encourages is designed to shed oneself of the negative emotions and troubles of our past lives, consider the possibility that Freddie might actually be, at least on a metaphoric level, one of Lancaster Dodd’s past lives. (Which makes the oft-stated question in the film of where they might have met a more haunting one.) (Source: What Is ‘The Master’ Really About?: Five Readings, Bilge Ebiri) Finally saw The Master today, which means I’m finally getting around to reading analyses and reviews without fear of being spoiled. While watching the film and immediately after the screening (after my mind stopped reeling for a second), I was all about the doubles/duality of man aspect of The Master. I agree with Bilge Ebiri’s reading of Quell/Dodd as doubles, which I particularly noted when Dodd first remarks to Quell that they have met somewhere before (I was actually hoping that this would be one of the many open-ended questions that I had read about before seeing the film). Like Ebiri, I read Quell as a quasi-former life version of Dodd. In addition to the conflicting qualities of both men that Ebiri lists, I also found the constant distinction between animal (Quell) and man (Dodd) to be quite striking, especially considering Joaquin Phoenix’s animalistic mannerisms (most notably as a “caged animal” in the jail scene). Finally, the recurring shots of water add to the theme of rebirth (and past lives) that The Cause preaches, since water is a symbol of life and fertility. This supports the reading of Quell as a representation of one of Dodd’s past lives. And speaking of that recurring water shot, I had to restrain myself from yelling “Jesus!” when that first water shot was projected in 70MM on the screen. I also had to restrain myself from bursting out in tears a couple times (can we talk about the initial processing scene?). Amazing film, met my expectations, can’t wait to see it again so I can continue to process (no pun intended) everything.
