That's said, also like TWBB, it was beautifully made movie with some incredible performances and a very interesting premise. |
I mostly agree with you.
I think There Will Be Blood had more of a plot, a real confrontation and some kind of resolution, while The Master was somewhat meandering and didn't amount to much in the end, plotwise. But that might have been the point and it's still fascinating and memorable. All in all both are surely great movies.
I'm still unsure whether I should give Boogie Nights another chance. I started it once and it didn't hook me at all, but I was very tired then and went to sleep about half an hour into it.
