Kubrick's "The Shining" takes Freud's Oedipus conflict to the extreme, and in a closed environment of isolation, infinitely magnifies the competition between father and son for the female role of mother , which eventually evolved into the ultimate fear of murdering sons and fathers. From the expression techniques to the use of music, to the core theme, "Lighthouse" has many imitations and tributes to "The Shining". It is still a power struggle that expresses the aggressive appearance of male libidos. Unlike "The Shining", this time it further abstracts the mother's side as a trophy in the conflict of Oedipus as the control of the lighthouse. (And further hinted through the mermaid, where sex and power are one, and the sexual fantasy of mermaid is the desire to fight for power) Isolated island, storm, lack of food, power repression, sexual desire that has no way to vent... One long and one young two A tower guard, father and son compete for power. The aggressiveness and arrogance of the fathers occupying the commanding heights and the superiority, the alertness and vigilance of the children, and the deep desire of the children's soul for victory in the place of their fathers and the fear of punishment that comes with them are wonderful. bravo.
