Lancaster Dodd
In the
film, "The Master," Philip Seymour Hoffman portrays Lancaster Dodd,
or The Master, who leads a religious group that facilitates the redemption of a
depressed sailor suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after WWII.
Although he is wise, educated, and glorified within his religious group. He
shares his wisdom casually and subtly. "What a day!" he'll exclaim.
"We fought against the day and we won. We won."
I'm intrigued
by Lancaster Dodd because of his unordinary, yet insightful view of religion
and life in general and the hurdles he has to jump through to become the Master
that his church reveres.
