    A24's films are very unique in their directing style. Many of them do not rely on audio-visual skills. If their photographic composition is viewed from the perspective of plane photography, they have a strong personality, but many times I can't appreciate this kind of film. of. Robert Eggers' [Lighthouse] is like an upgraded version of [The Witch]. The audiovisual aspect is very strange. The advantage is the use of sound and the ability to create a first-class atmosphere. However, this method...

    It was originally thought to be a pure Cthulhu story, but the ambition in the middle of the play is psychoanalytic, which completely weakens the liking of its textual level, but it is still very attractive on the image. The picture frame and the lines have a classical allegorical texture, and this compressed picture feeling corresponds to the island and the tension between the two people. The black and white iron sea also reminds me of Dore's etchings. It even reminds me of many details of the...

    interesting. The one-to-one black-and-white format, haze, thick, crazy, swaying light and shadow full of hints, space, and composition, all exude a strong sense of Tal Bella's vision. Storms and raging waves, surging desires and killing intent, the interweaving of various symbols and metaphors, and the "Shakespeare scolding" that is overwhelming and swallowing mountains and rivers, all these elements did not help to achieve the "stage drama" of the film, because The use of audio-visual language...

    【Macao International Film Festival】Fantasy adult fable with strong visual impact. The whole film is in black and white, and is shot on 1.19:1 frame film that imitates the movies of the 20th to 1930s, creating a curious atmosphere of the mysterious silent films in the early days of film history. The image style is outstanding, and the big screen look and feel is extremely shocking. The mere island, lighthouse, seagulls, and the "diagonal play" of "2.5" actors not only support the whole film, but...

    When you try to figure it all out, you lose. The film is full of deconstruction, theology, religion, allegory, schizophrenia, metaphor. Traveling in the light and shadow of the extremely stream of consciousness, flowing in the lines with a strong sense of ritual, the evil of human nature is photographed so finely and delicately, this is not only the punishment brought by loneliness and curse, but a symbol of human...

    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...

    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...

The Lighthouse quotes

  • Thomas Wake: Keepin secrets eh?

    Ephraim Winslow: No sir

  • Thomas Wake: Yer fond of me lobster aint' ye? I seen it - yer fond of me lobster! Say it! Say it. Say it!

    Ephraim Winslow: I don't have to say nothin'.

    Thomas Wake: Damn ye! Let Neptune strike ye dead Winslow! HAAARK!

    Thomas Wake: Hark Triton, hark! Bellow, bid our father the Sea King rise from the depths full foul in his fury! Black waves teeming with salt foam to smother this young mouth with pungent slime, to choke ye, engorging your organs til' ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more - only when he, crowned in cockle shells with slitherin' tentacle tail and steaming beard take up his fell be-finned arm, his coral-tine trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer gullet, bursting ye - a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now and nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself - forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea, for any stuff for part of Winslow, even any scantling of your soul is Winslow no more, but is now itself the sea!

    Ephraim Winslow: Alright, have it your way. I like your cookin'.
