TWBB is probably a metaphorical movie about the changing hands of power within the west, from religious to industrious to the marxist era. There was recently a post on /pol/ about whether the decline of Christianity has led to the downfall of the west, I think this movie is really top tier because it addresses this very topic so carefully, from phony religious cult leader, who represents the time period of the 18th and late 19th centuries, to productive but sociopathic and atomized capitalist, who represents the late 19th century and early 20th century era, and finally in the end to his son who represents the people damaged by these capitalistic pursuits the ones who embraced marxism and pushed for women's rights and stuff like that in the early 20th century. This also seems to streamline in The Master a little bit if you think about it, showing the results of the damaged generation that came after during the world wars. It seemed like PTA was sort of doing a generational metaphor thing for a while but then stopped. Thoughts?

No. It's a character study.

Can you elaborate on this?

A film could be both a character study and at the same time the characters could be based on metaphors. It's not like one cancels out the other, so I don't really understand your response.

I get that this place is filled with ironic-faggots but holy shit I thought maybe just once I could have an actual real discussion about a movie for Christ's sake. Guess this place is useless unless I want to see blacked porn or hear people talk about Wonder Woman day and night. Fuck this shit.

I recommend you watch McCabe & Mrs. Miller. It's a western by Robert Altman, a director who PTA cites as one of his primary influences. It has a protagonist who is similar to Daniel Plainview, except that he is less fortunate in his business endeavors and proves to be not quite tough enough to make it as a cutthroat capitalist. It explores the same themes from a humbler perspective. Altman was a pioneer in directing natural performances. He and PTA have many similarities in their style of directing, particularly in the way they create characters.
