Analysis of three plots behind the lighthouse

A great work of art! This is a film that explodes from the metaphorical montage of strong and weak scene scheduling lines using shaded light to the acting skills of the actors! After reading it over and over again, the structure and extension of the three stories appeared in my mind. First of all, who is Thomas and who is Winks? In one of the lines, the old man said to the young man, "You're going to kill old Winks." As the story goes on, I think the protagonist is a schizophrenic. He divides his imagination into two people, but the two are very different in the body. Chaos So Ontology keeps the two of them on an island to see how they get along, whether to merge as one or kill a last young character who wins but is also abandoned in the end. Second, the young Thomas became a vegetative person due to murder. He would not wake up and had a very long dream. In order to recover him, the dream maker put him on a deserted island. The lighthouse is the guiding light and the core of creating dreams. The dreamer old Thomas turned into an old sailor, pressured him to call him a dog, reminded him of the people he had killed, stimulated his nerves, and had fun with him. Kill the dream maker, and finally be rejected by the source, trapped in a dream forever. In the end, it is a mythical construct, all chaos, all gods, who construct man, construct mind, construct brain, construct mind. God asked old Thomas to pray, and let the old sailor become a servant of God and guard the lighthouse. And the Heroic Spirits are those seagulls. Probably because the servant of God was lonely, the young man came, but his ambition was to replace the old sailor, so the devil eroded his soul, made him completely chaotic, tortured heroic spirits, killed the servant of God, and wanted to gain the light of God, But he was thrown into hell by God and eaten by heroic spirits.

    The audiovisual is very good. The shooting angle and the camera position and composition of the 1:1 format have strengthened the horror effect. A variety of horror images and sudden sound effects gradually push the horror atmosphere to a climax, psychedelic + alcohol-constructed imagination and reality With the blurring of the boundaries, the nervousness of the danger made the palms of the hands sweaty, and the director was quite talented. There are only two actors in the film but relying on the tension of performance and drama to support it. For the first time, Pattinson's performance has actually overwhelmed William Defoe. But there are still shortcomings: although the sound effects are good, they are a little overwhelming. I was frightened by the volume (rather than the sound effects) several times. It might be better if you control it a bit.

    The overall atmosphere is very similar to The Witch, but the film's narrative pales in comparison. When I watched it, I was eager to understand the background of the director, and to know what he was trying to metaphorize. Finally, I found a little answer through "Northern Man" - contacting "The Witch", the director's mythological metaphors, religious legends, and various ancient Literary poems are understood, but unlike "The Witch", which gradually leads to a clear Satan folklore through a complete story, and reaches the final tango, this article is more like a pure stack, the whole line is not constructed and thus interlocking. Buckle up to the inner ghost. I know very little about the metaphors in it, I only found Prometheus and was deeply shocked, sometimes the good thing is the controversial final scene where he sees all his own fears and desires, and this double story from beginning to end The male protagonist movie also constantly externalizes the psychology of men. All carnal greed erupts at the moment when it reaches the peak of power, but the beacon that stands like a phallus is still examining the darkest secrets deep in your heart. I don't like it, but it can be polished. "Nosferatu" is really suitable for him
