The Master 2012
Dodd constantly refers to Freddie as an animal, but the truth is more revealing — their relationship is itself animalistic, an attraction of ego and urge and psychologically damaged impulses, of 2 men who find purposeful connection on opposite sides of the dynamic of addressing Freddie's traumas. Is Lancaster exploiting Freddie's troubled past in order to manipulate subservience?

They finally got settled in, and then this kid started making noise. One of the women got up, walked over to the kid and told him to "please shut the fuck up." The kid's mom yelled at her and called her a "white trash bitch" and she yelled back and called her fat, and a major shouting match…

The Trial of the Chicago 7 2020
Aaron Sorkin is way too good a writer to be forced to work with such a mediocre director as Aaron Sorkin
