It should be no problem to say that "The Lighthouse" is a suspense film. Two men who are rambling on a deserted island can be said to be trapped on it in the end, and they don't know what will happen. After watching the movie, I think it is the story of a marine professional, a special character in a special environment, a psychological development process and the result. Judging from the film's lines, the story takes place in the late 1970s and possibly the early 1980s. Unexpectedly, at this time, there are still islands in the United States that cannot keep up with the characteristics of the electricity and information age, cannot receive radio waves, and only communicate with the mainland at the appointed time, which is easily interrupted by weather and sea conditions. Coal shipped from the mainland is used for thermal power generation, while electricity can only be used for lighthouse lighting, and the rest of work and life are purely mechanical operations. At that time, there was no better and more reliable way of navigating ships, and lighthouses in important locations were maintained in this way.
The movie is a play of two men in this special environment, the old and the young, the little supervisor and the errand, the deep and scheming and the uncontrollable, and of course, there is retribution for good and evil in the end. Maintaining lighthouses is a type of marine occupation. It requires professional skills, the will to overcome loneliness, and the courage and ability to overcome bad weather. People who deal with the ocean may be a bit tricky and grotesque over time, but they should all have a broader mind. Just like the movie said, the sins and repentance in the world are the same, and they are not a problem. However, this film made all this very dirty. It was considered that after encountering a storm and running out of food and food, the psychological development finally collapsed, and people were forced to the extreme, which led to the great display of human evil. Fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, and fighting with people in the end is more fun, and it can be regarded as a style of this movie.
This is a work affected by the weather, and the most difficult thing is to lose contact with the rear and run out of food. On many islands along the coast of my country, there are flocks of sheep that fishermen tend to raise naturally. No one takes care of them. Any fishermen can feed on the spot when they are in danger. Although the ability of fishing boats to withstand storms and shore rescue capabilities is much stronger now, when ships pass these islands, they can still see these flocks that grow and breed naturally. It is purely a man's film, but it is also inseparable from the shadow of a woman. This kind of marine work is also very psychologically challenging. After a long time, there will be imaginings; eating and drinking, closing your eyes are women; anesthetizing yourself with alcohol is an effective way to overcome loneliness and boredom, even if it is temporary; … …These are those special circumstances that the movie describes to us. Black and white films should be more difficult to shoot than color films, pay more attention to the use of black and white contrast, use light and shadow to highlight the characters, and pay more attention to the processing of mid-gray tones.
