He has a vision of a milieu and a setup, but the resolution is not inspired at all. It's some literal shit-eating conceit that tries to make sense of their relationship by turning it into an S&M thing that seems like it could make sense if you squint and don't think about it too hard. I don't think that was his intended destination, he just couldn't figure out where to take the story. He had an auteur's confidence that the material would lead him the right way, and when it didn't, he said it's fine I'll just make it dirty and weird enough that people will take my word for it rather than question it and look unhip.
I think he can be pretty magical but I don't this his films come from a place of deep insight unless he's doing a film about his hometown of Hollywood, directly (Magnolia/Boogie Nights) or indirectly: There Will Be Blood is about the soul cost you pay for having enormous personal ambition, and The Master is relatedly about Scientology. |
