This is a history of patriarchal rebellion (all spoilers beware)

I found that many people think about the movie mysteriously, but the line is clear

Simple analysis: "Old people" are not physically strong and find "young people" to cut leeks. Such people are very common. They squeeze the value of later generations, hold power (wage threats and reporting rights), and occupy resources (entering and leaving the lighthouse, which looks like a mermaid resource) ). Although young people are physically strong, they have to pretend to be grandchildren in front of the "old man". Why do you say "pretend", because obviously he is not convinced. The old man has worn small shoes n times, but he is also very good at manipulating them. He is very familiar with grasping the hearts of young people, and occasionally gives benefits, such as cooking crabs and chatting. At the same time, the old man usually brags about his personalities. We can give some labels here: "sailors with stories", "officers?" and "fathers". All the characters have only one purpose, which is to consolidate the rule over young people. The young man endured and endured, and the harsh environment and toil produced several hallucinations, all to express the following factors: He had two hopes: going home and a salary, both of which were later dashed. There are two temptations for him: mermaid nature and power grabbing. His weakness: desperate for the former co-worker, and finally impostor (breaking the law) What he hates: the noise of seagulls and the oppression of the old I personally feel that the position of young people is " Middle", higher than the seagull, but lower than the old man. He hates seagulls very much. One of the seagulls died. Although it wasn't his fault, he was attacked by other seagulls, so he was furious. He might have released his own pressure and let the weaker seagull Neng die. Many seagulls watched and also hinted that he was eaten by seagulls (revenge) and the process of rebelling against patriarchy after he fell in Pingyang: It is very difficult to rebel against patriarchy. Some people are slapped by their parents when they are adults. However, it is the "right" that restricts your hands and feet. There are several key points in this process: The old man's entrapment, needless to say, a serious one made him fall from the lighthouse and almost lost his life. The relationship between him and the old man is actually very delicate: even the oppressor is the object of mutual company. , Occasionally they also have good times, which made the young man "trust" for a time. Later, the young man who proved that this trust was wrong ushered in another fatal blow, that is, he accidentally told him his illegal secret, and as soon as he told him He regretted it. This patriarchy was stronger. He pinched the young man's braid and punished him. The old man wanted to punish him like a sea king, so scared that he hurriedly wanted to push the boat away, the old man said "dont leave" His appeasement has appeared again, which is actually a very vivid point. As long as the old man gets a piece of the pie, let him go to the lighthouse and share resources, he can continue to be a dog. But the old man refused (how could he hand over the resource status?), and as expected, they fought, the young man must have an advantage, first let the old man be a dog, and then killed the old man. The rest is of course to inherit the resources of the old man, the lighthouse (mermaid). There is a foreshadowing here, the old man's name and the young man's real name are both Thomas, so they are actually the same kind of person. A raccoon dog. I originally thought that the film would imply that young people will follow the old ways and go in a cycle. I didn't expect to be eaten by seagulls in the end. It is estimated that the director wants to express the fate of this person who will be punished later. In fact, it doesn't matter how he lay there dying, the important thing is that this kind of person will end up like this in the end. The only thing that feels bad is that I actually put this horror film back in place. As a horror film lover, I felt very boring half of the time after watching it, and then I realized that my focus was off. After a few more details, the old man repeatedly asked the young man, is his lobster bad? Why does he care so much about this, because in fact, the old man feels that he is not bad to the young man. Although he has always been a shit, he feels that the young man should be satisfied, otherwise he will be cursed. Another is the details of the mermaid doll and the phantom. We can imagine, or the imagination of the young people, when the old man was playing with the mermaid in the lighthouse (his speculation), and he could only hold the doll L, that kind of dissatisfaction was born spontaneously, and what is even more sad is that he L with L The reader thinks of the young man who died before, and the negative feeling about the future arises spontaneously. Why do you want to have a good time with the old man and make trouble for a while, because this is the "normal state", a life of fooling and benevolent and intoxicating, accompany, confrontation, seizing power, plus the dissatisfaction, killing intent, restraint, the mentality of being a dog, and desires are intertwined . The chaos of the scene is also the chaos of the heart. The old man's prediction about seagulls is that killing seagulls will bring bad luck. It should be said that killing a seagull right now is nothing, but I am afraid that there will be a day when I will fall and be powerless to resist. Not only the last, but when the young man accidentally fell off the lighthouse, there were seagulls pecking at it. It was his fate to be pecked to death by seagulls.

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'.
