The theater scene....

So I've seen this movie multiple times, I've studied it and wrapped my head around it. The only scene that still confuses me is the scene where Freddy had left "the cause" and he's alone in the movie theater, lancaster calls him and Freddy asked the question " how did you find me?" And lancaster response with " we are connected"!!! is this just PTA messing with guys like me? And to give the hint that lancaster is not as full of *beep* as he seems to be? Did he do this just so I can contemplate an open ended question and drive myself insane? Lol

When Freddie arrives in England, he says to Dodd something along the lines of "In my dream, you said you remembered how we met."

Which lead me to believe it was a dream and no one was expecting him. Amy Adams even says something like, "What did you expect by coming back here?"

However, he does hand Dodd the cigarettes and Dodd accepts them...

but I think in the end Dodd was not magical. If anything, he was being controlled by Peggy, which I think he sorta lets slip to Freddie when he tells Freddie that if he can live without a master, he'd be the first human in all of history to do so.

I think Freddie was like a child, an ego that was soft and ready to be shaped.
Dodd was an egotistical *beep* who thought he knew everything and was right about all things.
And I think Amy Adams was...an even bigger egotistical *beep*. "You're in this for a billion years or not at all." Yikes!

I absolutely think Peggy controlling Dodds. I like went she's complaining about the reporter And Dodd is typing away, feeding off of her anger and energy. I also don't think he had powers the fact that anytime someone questioned the cause he just flipped out cause he didn't have any of the answers to back up what he was preaching. I absolutely love this movie. I know most people hated it but it was an original masterpiece in my opinion.
