The lighthouse used to refer to the sign that guides the way for lost sailors and ships. If we think of the island as a small environment, when there are only two people left in the society, there is still a distinction between upper and lower, and the institutionalized life is suppressing Tommy every day. Having a sexual desire also made him suffer. Facing the boss who was extremely disgusted, he could only suppress himself, but Tom chatted with him every night, drinking, and his capricious attitude made Tommy nervous. He killed the seagull to vent, and vented to the puppet. , imagining the nakedness of the mermaid, and what made him curious the most was what was on the lighthouse, but after an action, he gave up this idea and was ready to go home, but because of the storm, the ship failed to pick him up, then It was the nightly hangovers of the two of them. "Alcohol can make people stupid." Tommy's desire was rekindled. Through alcohol, the past events he had done gradually came to his mind.

    It's disturbing to see, what are you talking about, the story of killing a father and killing a god is not enough, all the pillars are the externalization of male power, and finally I will become you after one more wave, tired or not. In order to show Pattinson's acting skills, he did not hesitate to pull Willem Dafoe to back his back, but the result was still not good, hey, it was really annoying.

    The director’s bi-weekly, because of the last word-of-mouth explosion, I was very hot. I queued for three hours to watch it. I was exhausted. For this reason, I missed three good films and set a record for my film festival queuing. It is indeed a very stylized movie, one-to-one frame, old film texture black and white picture, dirty and leaky wooden house, endless wind and waves, siren, monotonous repetition of crude work, kind of Turin The boundlessness of the horse. The drunk is a close friend, and the drunk is a tyrant. The two men guard and tear each other. The mystery and illusion drive people crazy step by step, and it seems to see a trace of Bergman's talent. The dialect drama lines are very brilliant, and the two big stars are full of sparks. Under the illumination of the kerosene lamp, the atmosphere became more weird, scary and bloody. The cost of this film should not be high. The characters in such a minimalist scene can make such a rich audiovisual language. It is really amazing, and it is not inferior to be selected for the Cannes main competition.

The Lighthouse quotes

  • Ephraim Winslow: If i had a steak... . i would fuck it.

  • Thomas Wake: Yer relieved o' yer duties.

    Thomas Howard: [giggles hysterically] No need to tell me, old-timer!

    [he goes to the other room and comes back with Wake's logbook]

    Thomas Howard: [reading various entries] "Assistant slept late. Work below standard. Attitude hostile. Assistant missing. Given to habitual self-abuse in supply shed. Drunk on duty. Attempted to abandon his post. Assault. Theft. Recommend severance without pay."

    [he throws the book at the wall in fury]

    Thomas Howard: SEVERANCE WITHOUT PAY? You tryin' to ruin me? I'm a hard worker. I am. I work as hard as any man.

    Thomas Wake: Ye lie, Thomas.

    Thomas Howard: Stop it!

    Thomas Wake: Ye lie to yerself, but y'ain't have the sauce to see it.

    Thomas Howard: [getting down on his knees] Please... just let me into the light, old man. I've learned so much from you. Just let me show you, another chance. Forgive and forget, I says. Just let me into that lantern, is all. Don't make me beg, or I'll beg. I'll beg, if that's what you want, I'll beg.

    [pleading]

    Thomas Howard: Please. Please, please, please!

    Thomas Wake: Stand down.

    Thomas Howard: [lurching to his feet] You selfish bastard! Keepin' it all to yourself! You left your old lady, your children, for what? For what?

    Thomas Wake: Look at ye, handsome lad with eyes bright as a lady. Come to this rock, playin' the tough. Ye make me laugh with yer false grum. Ye pretended to some mystery in yer quietudes, but... there ain't no mystery. Yer an open book. A picture, says I. A painted actress screamin' in the footlights, a bitch what wants to be coveted for nothin' but bein' born, cryin' 'bout the silver spoon what shoulda been yers! Now look at ye, cryin'. "Boo... boo..." What ye gonna do? Will ye kill me? Will ye? Will ye kill me like ye done that gull?

    Thomas Howard: I didn't!

    Thomas Wake: LIAR! Ye murd'rin' dog! 'Twas ye what changed the wind on us! 'Twas ye what damned us, dog, 'twas ye! Will ye do what ye wished ye'd done to ol' Winslow? Will ye best me then? For Winslow were right, Thomas! Yer a dog! A filthy dog! A DOG!
