The cast of "Lighthouse", which may be the best film of 2019, is composed of William Dafoe and Robert Pattinson , Robert Eggers directed. In this film released at the Toronto International Film Festival this year, the pair played the role of lighthouse guardians. One of them is a grumpy and experienced veteran with many stories to tell, the other is a novice with many secrets and taciturn.
The two men (William Dafoe and Robert Pattinson) were sent to a lighthouse to perform four-week shifts in inclement weather. The overall production of the
movie is amazing. This is a comical thriller with fragile masculinity, gas lamps, etc., interdependent. One of the levels of film psychedelic is the grayscale images of metaphors and words (shot in black and white film), all clues to the layered and prickly performance.
Pattinson has never been so crazy like now, watching this movie makes people very happy. In this claustrophobic environment, with the cruel sea as the background, dominated by isolated threats, it is the traction between the old sailor’s folklore and modern cynicism that provided a lot of the initial tension between the protagonists. Tension.
In "The Lighthouse", men's thoughts succumb to huge fantasies, while women are objectified monsters. The fascination with mermaids and sirens is a common fantasy throughout myth and pop culture. On a purely aesthetic level, it is a very simple twist, beautiful text and many monsters to attract men through deceit and mysterious charm.
For centuries, mermaids, sea monsters and other similar marine creatures have been a prominent feature in myths and legends. The ancient Assyrian goddess Atagatis turned herself into a mermaid after accidentally killing her human lover. The sirens in Greek mythology are the ultimate seducers. They use the sounds of nature to lure sailors to death.
Through Selki’s Celtic folklore, we have a way to explore the subject of sexual coercion through metaphor to strip her skin of the woman who seeks to own them. Christopher Columbus reported in the 15th century that mermaids have been common in the past few centuries, and even in 2012, workers in Zimbabwe claimed that the mermaids had driven them out of the reservoir they were building.
For Pattinson, the release of sex comes from a statue of the little mermaid he found in his apartment. In the process of seeking release through a period of self-driving practice, he imagined a moment of passion on the coast, and this moment may have happened, or it may not have happened at all.
When he reached her tail area, there was a very large vagina in her crotch, blooming like a painting by Georgia O'Keeffe, and he did just that. She is a dangerous creature. When Pattinson realizes that she is a mermaid, she will give Pattinson a sirens to stimulate him to a certain extent, but he still succumbs. The film deliberately vaguely shows how true Winslow is in madness, showing terrible composure.
Winslow was trapped on this desolate rock. There was a man beside him. He might be driving Winslow crazy, but he was going crazy too. He began to drink heavily, looked around for evidence that he was not sure whether he existed, then danced, and then started a fierce and vague homosexual struggle with Vic. If a person positions himself as a firm loyal to the rules of the industry, he will quickly break all the rules.
In this situation, there is nothing more taboo than not only befriending the "enemy", but also violating the life of an established nautical legend. For the lighthouse keeper, everything seems unlucky (at least according to the wavering night watcher), but it is definitely not advisable to lie on a rock with a mermaid and get dirty. The
mermaid is not a real beacon monster. This honor belongs to Pattinson and Dafoe, because their characters are cowardly little animals with no morals, and their madness will only further reveal the potential depravity of mankind. However, in the context of this story, what this creature and her sexual attraction do is highlight the way beauty and grotesque are often intertwined.
This is the core theme of "The Lighthouse", and its expressiveness is so strong that this film will become the top ten this year. A very special movie, worth watching.
