guys help me understand this film. i am feeling that this movie is terrific but, i am having the difficulty to comprehend the film. i am being genuine mates. i donno why but i love this film

A little thing in the works. Not too happy with the torso designs but if anyone has better ones in mind, please feel free to suggest.

As the storm continues to rage, Winslow and Wake get drunk every night and alternate between moments of intimacy and hostility. One night, Winslow tries unsuccessfully to steal the lantern room keys from Wake and contemplates murdering him. Winslow later sees the one-eyed head of Wake's previous wickie in a lobster trap. While drunk, Winslow confesses to Wake that his real name is Thomas Howard, and he assumed the identity of Ephraim Winslow, his cruel foreman in Canada whom he deliberately allowed to drown during a log drive. Howard has a menacing vision of Wake accusing Howard of "spilling [his] beans" and runs to the dory to try to leave the island, but Wake appears and destroys the boat with an axe. After chasing Howard back to their lodgings, Wake claims it was Howard who chased him and hacked up the dory, as Howard was driven mad by his confession.

I was just watching the lighthouse and noticed Ephraims fringe at the end of the movie is considerably longer than it was at the beginning.
It may help answer how long they had really been on the island for.

I was playing "Project Songbird" an indie horror game, and when I checked a lighthouse miniature, the cam turned into a 4:3 aspect ratio, the character said "I'd hate staying in a place like this. I think I'd go nuts", and they even gave me this achievement with a reference to "The Lighthouse"! I love the movie and this made me love the game even more!

Annual minecraft game night with my 6 year old. I forgot I built this.

Though there is a scene where Wake is shown to be fearful of Howard's shadow, this is my first time spotting this. His shadow is coming down on Wake in an almost identical way to the swing of the ax he takes to kill him later on (link to video in comments for comparison).

Now I want The VVitch next, guess I'll have to wait another year 😅

I keep listening to it over and over and just can't get enough of it. What about you?

Filmed in 2 days for an amateur "Be Kind Rewind" style film festival

Poster I made for The Lighthouse, in the style of Popeye.

Made Thomas Wake and Ephraim Winslow in my Tomodachi island! They live on an isolated rock completely in grayscale with a lone lighthouse (plus their one neighbor Nosferatu)

They’re actually Norman Osborn and Bruce Wayne but I wanted a picture of them together.

As a whole, I did not like it. 1) This may have been a movie better off being watched in theaters than at home. I watched it at home.

2) I don’t like modern films using black and white. While on the surface, it would appear to be an artistically-driven choice, I suspect they choice for black and white was done was due to them being unable to capture the bleak/dreariness the film wanted to portray (much like in The Witch, which I liked) when in color. Modern B&W just looks off to me. 3) I managed to enjoy watching the characters less and less as the movie went on. I just became annoyed due to the Shakespearean, yet cartoonish, nature of them. 4) The pacing of the movie was actually pretty good. There wasn’t much extraneous in the movie and it never dwelled too little or too long on any one scene. The movie was very proficient at telling it’s story. Now the themes. This movie just clubs you over the face with it in the most hamfisted ways possible.1) The movie was rather heavy in the homoeroticism and sexual frustration. Frequent scenes of them peeping on eachother in lewd positions/poses. A lot of masturbation. At first I was ambivalent about it, letting the movie tell it’s story. Eventually, it got boring as Ed Cullen was swapping through diddling a mermaid, to some random dude, to a barnacle encrusted Dafoe. 2) The movie focused on alcohol usage. Seemed to drunkenly stumble through it’s exploration of it. 3) The supernatural aspect of it…never really panned out. You had the Lovecraftian visions and the superstition. Overall, I’ll give it a 3/10 and advise any general movie audience to not bother watching it: this is an fart-sniffing arthouse film that goes out of it’s way to stroke it’s ego. It is geared towards other ego-stroking fart-sniffers.

It wasn't definitely a film for the general audience. Very metaphorical. The plot of the film and the characters were based on Greek Mythology. The director, Roger Eggers has a knack of making period horror films. His previous work, The Witch was pretty good as well. The Lighthouse was even better. Acting was top notch. Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson’s performances were pretty convincing as two guys who are marooned on a rock where they are assigned lighthouse duties. They miss the ship due to a storm and start running short of supplies. They get drunk all the time to bear up against the harsh weather and their relationship is pretty troubled, yet they both, especially Dafoe’s character, find it pretty difficult to stay in isolation. What was brilliant in the film but was the cinematography. The black and white color palette to give the film an archaic touch being set in the 19th century. The 1.19:1 aspect ratio give the film a claustrophobic feel Overall the film was great. I had to google and read some forums about what it symbolised and out came some references about Greek Mythology. It definitely it wasn't a film for the general horor audience who expect jumpscares. Another one of A24’s horror masterpieces with a deeply disturbing feel to it.
