A Movie Review: The Master

The Master. This movie is obviously about Scientology, but doesn’t outright say it. Come on, a boat is the first introduction we are given to this cult/organization/philosophical group. I’m no Scientologist so I’m not offended by the portrayal. I’m simply offended by what I thought was a rather uninspiring movie. The main character of the movie is an individual who is probably just a bit psychotic, driven that way by both the war (World War II) and perhaps by the drink concoctions he makes (ingredients include paint thinner). He joins the group and somehow becomes both an enforcer and a guinea pig.  And well, I didn't find it all that fascinating.
