(The following are all comments from amateur film lovers, without any reference!)
First of all, the movie is not linked to horror, but the dark human nature is at work, and there is the spirit of resistance to loneliness that is ready to come out.
Just imagine how many people are swallowed up by boredom in this special period, not to mention that if you go to an isolated island, you would have thought it would be a decent job, but the reality is very different. You are enslaved day after day, will you? Crazy?
The young man in the film is at first accepting the state of reality, but the heavy work makes him tired, and finally he spends his time with alcohol. A series of hallucinations began to appear, linking the various stories of the island told by the "old captain" (can't remember the name), as well as the death story of the former partner, living in a confused way. But the patience of any one is limited, the bad food is real, the dirty work is real, the chatter of the "old captain" is real, all these factors are the direct cause of the collapse of young people reason.
Personal preference for "Old Captain" is the root of evil, the cause of tragedy, or it is. He knows that he is old, so he entrusts the "heavy task" to the young people for granted. He defends his rights to the death, and his performance is to prevent young people from going to the lighthouse (but we also learned later that on the lighthouse just lights). He can carry wine to do what he says is the job, and in fact sleep drunk. I believe that his ex-partner went against his will before he chopped off his head with an axe, killing people and killing corpses. But he himself would never think of one day. The young man hit the head.
In the end, when the next storm came, neither of them took any precautions, as if they were deliberately letting it go, letting the rain wash their home, and then they ushered in a final showdown with each other. "Old Captain" is old, and he really can't beat this young man. He already knows that everything has been exposed, and he can no longer control the young man, so he is led like a dog.
All of this was planted from the beginning. The young man is destined to be attracted by the top of the power. He wants to go to the lighthouse to see, but everything is so ordinary. Seagulls are corrosive creatures, so they are interested in everything that rots, and maybe you can say that they are really spiritual and can sense things that are about to rot. Once you don't respect them, there will be unspeakable doom! There is nothing wrong with resistance, but life is wrong.
