This concluding chapter illustrates segments of various interviews Paul Thomas Anderson has given about his feature films, and interviews with actors, such as Philip Seymour Hoffman on The Master. Ultimately, one of the main strands of argument in this book is that Anderson continues to guard the story of his mother that “he might tell;” and yet, the story is always working its way into his narratives about fathers, and carries the real burden of the narrative mystery. The motivation of Anderson's male protagonists in the three films—Punch-Drunk Love, There Will Be Blood, and The Master—becomes increasingly deformed, and in each case the mangling pressure derives from the protagonist's inability to secure a crucial lost balance and alignment with absent maternal shades.

New Millennium

Since his explosive debut with the indie sensation Hard Eight, Paul Thomas Anderson has established himself as one of contemporary cinema's most exciting artists. His 2002 feature Punch-Drunk Love radically reimagined the romantic comedy. Critics hailed There Will Be Blood as a key film of the new millennium. In The Master, Anderson jarred audiences with dreamy amorphousness and a departure from conventional story mechanics. The book approaches these three films in particular, and Anderson's oeuvre in general, with a focus on the role of emergence and the production of the unaccountable. Anderson, the book shows, is an artist obsessed with history, workplaces, and environments but also intrigued by spaces as projections of the people who dwell within. The book follows Anderson from the open narratives of Boogie Nights and Magnolia through the pivot that led to his more recent films, Janus-faced masterpieces that orbit around isolated central characters—and advance Anderson's journey into allegory and myth. Blending penetrative analysis with a deep knowledge of filmic storytelling, the book tours an important filmmaker's ever-deepening landscape of disconnection.

El presente trabajo es un acercamiento a la película The Master. Esta obra de Paul Thomas Anderson vio la luz en el año 2012 y tanto su estreno como su producción estuvieron unidas a un rumor: la película hablaba sobre un movimiento religioso, la Cienciología.

O artigo possui como temática o estilo no cinema independente norte-americano. O objetivo é investigar elementos de mise en scène presentes no filme Sangue negro (2007), dirigido por Paul Thomas Anderson, associando-os às funções do estilo cinematográfico descritas por Bordwell (2008). De abordagem qualitativa e utilizando como método a análise fílmica, a pesquisa foi delineada com base em três momentos do longa-metragem, escolhidos a partir do interesse em estudar como Anderson conduz o posicionamento e o movimento dos atores dentro do quadro. Como resultado, observou-se que o cineasta, a partir de um constante interesse pelos aspectos mínimos da imagem bidimensional, aposta num recorrente jogo de velar e desvelar em que não apenas corpos e rostos são ocultados e assumidos, mas também representações subjetivas importantes para uma compreensão ampla da narrativa.

This chapter describes a considered, thematic, and stylistic account of the viewing experiences of three films by Paul Thomas Anderson and their backgrounds—Punch-Drunk Love (2002), There Will Be Blood (2007), and The Master (2012). Writer Geoffrey O'Brien, in his essay on The Master, captures the feel of Anderson's recurring landscape of disconnection. He goes on to speak of the expressionist treatment of milieu in the films, as though in each narrative there is an attempt both to acknowledge the claims of material reality and at the same time to reconfigure the real. The chapter also examines the contradictory pressures at work in the avowedly autobiographical, densely verbal Magnolia, which may have necessitated a change in Anderson's method and technique in the films that followed.
