Lighthouse in the crowd

I have always liked Willem Dafoe. His appearance and performance temperament are always isolated islands that do not need to be deliberately set, chaotic reefs, seabirds clamoring everywhere, and waves that come at any time and can devour everything... This is how human beings have been since the end of the 19th century. The living environment of the world: change brings turbulence, just as the unpredictable weather engulfs the waves to bring eternal instability and change, this is what makes our era different from all previous eras. Many traditions and their matching concepts have been eliminated. Many newly formed relationships will become obsolete before they can be fixed. There is no longer awe-inspiring and eternal in the world. As long as you are weak and bold enough, everything is sacred. Anything can be vanished in a blasphemous way. The human spirit is completely divided in the face of the ever-changing mode of production and distribution. There is only "essence" in production and distribution, and "god" when it is anesthetized. People finally have to take a cold look at their status in life, their relationships with each other. We have conquered the sea with technology, but we are struggling in the vast sea of ​​people. It is not the hurricane that sets off the waves, but the desire. In order not to get lost in desires, there are always mentor-level characters who set up lighthouses that point the way to the public, but the mentors who stick to the lighthouse do not want the public to have a close look at the secrets of the lighthouse, because close inspection will only make people blind and plunge into darkness. The sea of ​​people makes us cold, and the cold brings us close, and closeness is the beginning of harm!

    Perfect (choked). Totally different from the love crafting story I expected, but that's only because of my level and that's all there is to it. The lighthouse brings a more esoteric and mysterious story. I used to think that a movie (unfortunately I couldn't watch it on the big screen) can achieve AVG-style immersion. segment image. I can even feel the lighthouse trying to become a part of my distant dream, a memory in a future where I confuse reality and fantasy. And that's enough, it can still have the same structure as a song. Satisfied (choked)丨Some people are arguing about Cthulhu style and Gothic style = = You should first understand what the predecessor of Cthulhu is. Hey, Gothic is also an indispensable part of Cthulhu style, which is exactly what this film is. The highlight of the movie is that it not only presents the love of craftsmanship in the minds of a threshold audience, but also gives the horror movie audience the breakthrough of the Gothic horror movie. It would be extremely narrow-minded to contrast the craftsmanship style with the Gothic style.

    Robert Pattinson's transformation was very successful, from "Good Times" to "Lighthouse", "Creed" and "Batman"... with great potential.

The Lighthouse quotes

  • Thomas Wake: O what Protean forms swim up from men's minds, and melt in hot Promethean plunder, scorching eyes, with divine shames and horror... And casting them down to Davy Jones. The others, still blind, yet in it see all the divine graces and to Fiddler's Green sent,where no man is suffered to want or toil,but is... Ancient... Mutable and unchanging as the she who girdles 'round the globe. Them's truth.

  • Thomas Wake: Should pale death with treble dread / make the ocean caves our bed, / God who hear'st the surges roll, / deign to save our suppliant soul.
