The Master

I have to admit that I have no idea how to discuss this film right now.

It was beautiful. The cinematography was stunning, the colors were so rich.

Joaquin Phoenix and Phillip Seymour Hoffman were just so...I guess powerful is the only word I can think of right now. The entire movie is about the relationship between these two men and it's so intense I don't even know what to say. They love each other, not in the way that Hoffman's character loves his wife, but some sort of deep platonic bond. Perhaps they're soulmates.

It made me emotional in a way that I really didn't expect. Their last scene together just wrecked me. I honestly don't know how to describe it.

This is a very bad post but I felt after seeing it I had to say something.
