I love the film The Master by Paul Thomas Anderson, but the thing I highly hate about it was the ambiguity of the last section of it being a dream or not.

Some background:

At some point in the movie, the main character Freddie is in a movie cinema. An employee there hands him a phone, and it's Freddie's distant best friend, Dodd. He tells Freddie he misses him and that he's in England now. There's some other stuff said. Then the scene shows Freddie waking up in the cinema.

???

Does that mean the rest of the movie from that point onwards never happened? I wish Anderson had never included that part. Because I desperately want the last section of the movie to be real in-universe. It was so good, and it was important for the plot and the characters.

A few years ago, I read the Wikipedia article about the movie, and then eventually saw the movie. I never interpreted the cinema scene and then the scenes afterward as a dream. I figured Freddie had went to sleep after the phone call ended, but that he woke up. I considered the part with the phone to be real, not one of Freddie's dreams. At the same time, that scene did have a dream-like quality. Like, how could Dodd track Freddie down in a movie theatre? And how would an employee there be able to hand Freddie the phone, as if the place was a proper residence and that the phone was Freddie's personal one? It makes zero sense.

I hate the ambiguity of it. It doesn't help that I hate fiction set in dreams, like Inception.

The Master was a great movie. It is one of those movies that wish I were directing and writing my own movies too, like Anderson. Unfortunately, the possibility the last section of the film might be a dream ruins everything for me. It bothers me. Why does every great film, book, etc I end up loving have to have at least one major flaw in it?

The first time we see Yoda, leader of the Council, in tcw, he’s explicitly affirming the individuality and importance of the clones. He then teaches them how to connect to the Force, the most sacred tenet of the religion he’s dedicated his life to.

The first time we see Plo Koon, a Jedi Master, in tcw, he clearly tells his clone troopers that they are not expendable to him, and then proceeds to do his absolute best to save as many clones as possible.

The first time we see Anakin in tcw he has his clones fly an unnecessary suicide mission because he wants the glory of killing Grievous. He doesn’t even stop when he hears them all dying—his Padawan, a 14-year-old, has to yell at him that no one else will survive what he’s doing before he changes his plan.

And people STILL say that Anakin is the Jedi who cared about the clones the most. Seriously?

Jedi Antis: The Jedi are too caught up in politics! They have power to change things, they just don't!

Meanwhile, the Jedi:

Every time they argue with a politician, they are shot down.

I wonder what that could mean? That maybe they don't have as much political power as the antis seem to believe? That maybe *gasp* they were meant to be the victims of Palpatine's manipulation the whole time?

Someone needs to do an analysis on the way the Kung Fu Panda movies use old-fashioned vs. modern language ("Panda we meet at last"/"Hey how's it going") and old-fashioned vs. modern settings (forbidden-city-esque palaces/modern-ish Chinese restaurant) to indicate class differences in their characters, and how those class differences create underlying tensions and misunderstandings.

They’re having their clone wars moment~

More Master Pia’itzi with his padawan Naru and clone Captain Orca. They’re learning a lot together, including the exact right amount of annoying to be endearing (in other words, family XD).
