This is a history of patriarchal rebellion (all spoilers beware)

I found that many people think about the movie mysteriously, but the line is clear

Simple analysis: "Old people" are not physically strong and find "young people" to cut leeks. Such people are very common. They squeeze the value of later generations, hold power (wage threats and reporting rights), and occupy resources (entering and leaving the lighthouse, which looks like a mermaid resource) ). Although young people are physically strong, they have to pretend to be grandchildren in front of the "old man". Why do you say "pretend", because obviously he is not convinced. The old man has worn small shoes n times, but he is also very good at manipulating them. He is very familiar with grasping the hearts of young people, and occasionally gives benefits, such as cooking crabs and chatting. At the same time, the old man usually brags about his personalities. We can give some labels here: "sailors with stories", "officers?" and "fathers". All the characters have only one purpose, which is to consolidate the rule over young people. The young man endured and endured, and the harsh environment and toil produced several hallucinations, all to express the following factors: He had two hopes: going home and a salary, both of which were later dashed. There are two temptations for him: mermaid nature and power grabbing. His weakness: desperate for the former co-worker, and finally impostor (breaking the law) What he hates: the noise of seagulls and the oppression of the old I personally feel that the position of young people is " Middle", higher than the seagull, but lower than the old man. He hates seagulls very much. One of the seagulls died. Although it wasn't his fault, he was attacked by other seagulls, so he was furious. He might have released his own pressure and let the weaker seagull Neng die. Many seagulls watched and also hinted that he was eaten by seagulls (revenge) and the process of rebelling against patriarchy after he fell in Pingyang: It is very difficult to rebel against patriarchy. Some people are slapped by their parents when they are adults. However, it is the "right" that restricts your hands and feet. There are several key points in this process: The old man's entrapment, needless to say, a serious one made him fall from the lighthouse and almost lost his life. The relationship between him and the old man is actually very delicate: even the oppressor is the object of mutual company. , Occasionally they also have good times, which made the young man "trust" for a time. Later, the young man who proved that this trust was wrong ushered in another fatal blow, that is, he accidentally told him his illegal secret, and as soon as he told him He regretted it. This patriarchy was stronger. He pinched the young man's braid and punished him. The old man wanted to punish him like a sea king, so scared that he hurriedly wanted to push the boat away, the old man said "dont leave" His appeasement has appeared again, which is actually a very vivid point. As long as the old man gets a piece of the pie, let him go to the lighthouse and share resources, he can continue to be a dog. But the old man refused (how could he hand over the resource status?), and as expected, they fought, the young man must have an advantage, first let the old man be a dog, and then killed the old man. The rest is of course to inherit the resources of the old man, the lighthouse (mermaid). There is a foreshadowing here, the old man's name and the young man's real name are both Thomas, so they are actually the same kind of person. A raccoon dog. I originally thought that the film would imply that young people will follow the old ways and go in a cycle. I didn't expect to be eaten by seagulls in the end. It is estimated that the director wants to express the fate of this person who will be punished later. In fact, it doesn't matter how he lay there dying, the important thing is that this kind of person will end up like this in the end. The only thing that feels bad is that I actually put this horror film back in place. As a horror film lover, I felt very boring half of the time after watching it, and then I realized that my focus was off. After a few more details, the old man repeatedly asked the young man, is his lobster bad? Why does he care so much about this, because in fact, the old man feels that he is not bad to the young man. Although he has always been a shit, he feels that the young man should be satisfied, otherwise he will be cursed. Another is the details of the mermaid doll and the phantom. We can imagine, or the imagination of the young people, when the old man was playing with the mermaid in the lighthouse (his speculation), and he could only hold the doll L, that kind of dissatisfaction was born spontaneously, and what is even more sad is that he L with L The reader thinks of the young man who died before, and the negative feeling about the future arises spontaneously. Why do you want to have a good time with the old man and make trouble for a while, because this is the "normal state", a life of fooling and benevolent and intoxicating, accompany, confrontation, seizing power, plus the dissatisfaction, killing intent, restraint, the mentality of being a dog, and desires are intertwined . The chaos of the scene is also the chaos of the heart. The old man's prediction about seagulls is that killing seagulls will bring bad luck. It should be said that killing a seagull right now is nothing, but I am afraid that there will be a day when I will fall and be powerless to resist. Not only the last, but when the young man accidentally fell off the lighthouse, there were seagulls pecking at it. It was his fate to be pecked to death by seagulls.

    #4th IFFAM# Cannes Biweekly → Macau "House of Flying Daggers" unit. Uh, after reading it, I felt that it was the right choice if I didn’t go to Cannes to queue for three hours and still can’t get in; and the benefit of watching in Macau is that there are Chinese characters—the Chinese characters are too important, and all kinds of quarrels and swear words can’t be read with English subtitles Must keep up. Black and white 1.19:1 format, very dramatic power-control drama, which is to show off acting skills; the stalk of the play is not new, the use of uncertain narrative and hallucinations/subjective makes the story a bit psychological horror-burn The meaning of the brain slice (of course, there are also some tricks and dead ends). The art is well done, the storms and the harsh natural environment of the island are quite well shot; the style of the video is quite strong, with a few very dazzling edits and subjective fantasy images.

    Black and white processing madness, a very crazy, distorted, and weird Cthulhu movie, both classical and fashionable, showing another horror movie shooting method completely different from "The Witch", Lovecraft meets Ellen Poe's literary temperament, the performance of the two actors is really terrible!

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.
