"FacebookPinterest\n\n Unless you got to see Philip Seymour Hoffman onstage this spring in Death of a Salesman, Exhibit A in his \"actor of the year\" case is Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master. Exploding in fury or mournfully singing \"On a Slow Boat to China,\" Hoffman's Lancaster Dodd is among screen history's most seductive monsters. His symbiosis with Anderson is unique. \"We've known each other for twenty years,\" Hoffman says, explaining his early involvement in shaping Dodd. \"We knew we wanted him to have a certain kind of gravitas.\" Hence Hoffman's spooky channeling of Orson Welles in Citizen Kane, adding a whole other dimension to The Master's take on a classic Anderson theme: power and subservience.\n\nShirt by Boss Orange"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
