The new movie, "The Master" has been out barely one week, and even though released on a very limited number of screens, has already created enough of a buzz that has critics talking about "Academy Award" prospects!

The acting of Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman receives raves all around, while some are finding faults with the meandering story-lineThe military type of organization form whereby there is a definite ascending and descending chain of command. Orders pass from top management down the line of command and compliances and data pass on up without by-passing the chain of command. (Modern Management Defined (c) L. Ron Hubbard, 1976) and an unsettling ending that leaves one wondering!

L Ron Hubbard

Apparently based "loosely", on L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology, knowing Scientologists will say it goes well beyond that label and does so in a by-design very unflattering manner. In short, it's a "one-sided" viewpoint of the founder that presents him as a charismatic ego-maniac who endears himself to others solely for the purpose of using them. Devotees will argue that Hubbard was in fact a man totally dedicated to his self-improvement technologies, even to the point of self-denial of the benefits of the wealth he had accumulated over decades.
