He can play him at the last favorite. The audio could use some de-essing. Great interview anyways. Svetionik miladin sobic cover. Writing and all of that aside can we just focus on the acting? Dafoe and Pattinson deliver every single one of their lines PERFECTLY! Thomas Wake is the Old Man of the Sea and Pattinson is the Promethean that simply wanted enlightenment. Absolutely gorgeous film.
Just watched it right and now. gotta say shit blew me away. 1:33 Drew McWeeny. I'm going to approach this movie as; This is the origin tale of the Gorton fishstick guy, to give myself some comedic relief if it gets too intense. I can never play peekaboo with baby sis ever again. Adam Sandler is literally just playing a GTA character at this point lol.
“Went to see The lighthouse?” “Went mad he did”
“You know, Im something of a WHAT myself”. God he seems like such a down to earth and humble guy, i thought it was impossible to like him more. So I had some friends in the grade above me who went to see this movie on the weekend, and they absolutely hated the film because of what this trailer showed them, also they were all high amid the feature. One of them claimed it was the worst movie they had ever seen, another wanted to write hate mail to the creators. Then I went to go see the film 2 years later entirely expecting to see what made their view on it so exasperated. I didn't. I absolutely adore this film. It's in no way one of the greatest horror films but what it can directly show contemporary audiences is that of what the genre of horror is actually about. Horror does not aim to scare you, horror is horror; it's supposed to shine a light on completely out of reach circumstances apart from our normal lives, if artistic it can be to represent something. What, for me, makes a good horror film is not a scare I endure during the film, it's a series sequences or images that you can take a step back and directly say: That's horror.
1:02:55 appropriate respose.
Just post the entire movie tbh.
Hey, if you feel alone at night watch a scary won't feel alone anymore.
This was a film that had been on my radar for some time as I was a big fan of Robert Eggers first film, The Witch. With the news of the two actors that were casted to star in this one, which peaked my interest even more. I heard a few things about it, including an interview of Eggers himself that was the clincher to change my plans to go that night. It also was a bonus watch in a horror movie challenge that I'm trying to complete before October ends. The synopsis here is the hypnotic and hallucinatory tale of two lighthouse keepers on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s.
We start this seeing the island in question. There's a ship that is going out to it and it is bringing Thomas Wake (Willem Dafoe) and Ephraim Winslow (Robert Pattinson. They're taking over as the two keepers for the next month. Thomas will be the one to actually man the light at night while Ephraim will take care of the rest of the duties which are upkeep of the machinery and keeping the quarters in working order.
There's actually a pretty tense scene to start us off at their first dinner. Thomas pours a drink for Ephraim and wants to do a toast. He points out in the manual that they're not supposed to drink and pours it out. Thomas in turn tells him it is bad luck to not finish a toast. Ephraim gets water and it tastes horrible.
The two men take on an uneasy friendship, which is required as they're the only two people on this island. Ephraim starts to see weird things though. He sees a Mermaid (Valeriia Karaman) but wakes up in his bed. That opening day he found a statue of one as well. He thinks that he sees things in the room with the light while Thomas is up there and we get flashes of creepy images as well. He also isn't the biggest fan of the seagulls on the island. As things go on though, we learn that these men aren't as they seem and what we are seeing might not be what is actually happening as they descend into madness in their isolation.
Now I wanted to go a little bit vague for that recap for a couple different reasons. The first being that there's not a lot that actually goes on in the film. We see things that happen, but as it goes we learn the truth of what we saw and who these two really are. On top of that, I want you to experience it as well.
With that out of the way, I love the concept that we have set up here. One of my favorite troupes is the descent into madness. I personally deal with a lot of anxiety, so seeing mental illness when displayed properly in film is something that I enjoy. I think that the Eggers brothers did some really good writing here and presenting that to us. This story is really told from one of the point of views and it's the other one that is pointing out what he is experiencing. I really dug that, as it really made me consider what I see around me in my own life.
This film is actually really hard to talk about it as it is a mash up of so many things. I normally think that can actually be a detriment to a film, but here it oddly works. I actually heard this concept before seeing it and it makes complete sense afterwards. If they want to take this into a Lovecraftian way, they most definitely set it up. There's comedy here as we get these two guys living together and being forced together, which is kind of like having a roommate. There are also some mariner superstitions here that made me worried if some of these bad things that are happening stem from that as well.
I want to shift gears to talk about the pacing of this film. It comes in at a runtime of 109 minutes, so just under two hours. I'd say that at the halfway point of that is when they start celebrating that they're almost off the island, but that's where it gets crazy. We really get to know the characters during that time, or at least we think we do. Even though we don't necessarily always know what is going on and what to believe, I think it takes us on a journey to figure that out. The ending was quite interesting as well and I did like it, even if I don't necessarily completely understand it. It is definitely ambiguous.
The best part of this is actually the performances. Dafoe plays a man that comes off as a ship captain that is from the New England area. To use a pun, he wants to run a tight ship and makes Ephraim do all of the grunt work. This makes him seem mean, but I think that is in order to maintain order. Pattinson on the other side though is a lumberjack from I'm assuming the northern Midwest. He really portrays this role really well and the more we learn about him, the crazier it gets though. Karaman also is solid in the small role she has. She plays a mermaid that is more like mythology as a creature, but she is still quite attractive and we get to see her topless as well.
That will take me to the effects of this one, which to be honest there's not a lot. It isn't that type of film though. I do think that the mermaid effects were done practically for the most part. I do know there's a scene with CGI, but we see it at a distance and that works. We also get to see something like octopus tentacles that are CGI. We don't linger on it, so we really don't get to break it apart too much. I will say that how this is shot is amazing. We get a weird aspect ratio, which from the interview wasn't used long in the past, but it was popular at the time of the likes of Fritz Lang. There's time where I noticed and it just makes things feel off, but there's times when in darkness you forget and it's almost overbearing. I thought it really added something for sure.
This moves to me to the soundtrack and the final thing to go over. There's a recurring foghorn that partially drives Ephraim crazy. I know a couple times it made me jump with how loud it is. It does fall back into almost being a recurring background noise that is eerie at times. The rest of the score is subtle, but I did feel it building dread within me. I think that fits what they were going for and I was on board.
Now with that said, this film is definitely hard to classify. We really have a buddy story of these two guys who are isolated on an island with a lighthouse. Thomas is out to exert his dominance and Ephraim just wants to work his time and get paid. There are secrets that are hidden and the isolation drives them mad. It does become kind of a fever dream where you don't know what is real and what's not, which I dig. The acting is amazing from our two leads for sure. I like the effects that we get as well as how it was filled. It is out of the ordinary and since this whole film is like that, it works. The soundtrack has some good sounds and I think the rest of it fits for what the film really needed. Overall I'd say this is a really good and I think I need another viewing to pick up anything I may have missed. I would recommend this if you're into arthouse films or non-traditional horror films.
