Very stylized film, a suspenseful thriller in the context of Greek mythology, which can be interpreted in many ways from the audience's point of view; the forbidden lighthouse symbolizes patriarchy, the quarrel between two toms, like a son The struggle with his father; the little tom that was pecked by the seagulls was actually Prometheus who stole fire, and the lighthouse at this time seemed to symbolize the fire of wisdom; and if it is in the background of Kesulo, the story becomes, The little Tom who was seduced by Mr. Ke killed the old man and came into contact with the ancient gods, but the human brain could not bear the impact, and finally died of madness; while the images of other mermaids and sea kings and other various metaphors were added, the The film is closer to the mythological system, but from the director's interview, he does not seem to consider relying on the Cthulhu mythological system in the past. Anyway, there is one thing in common, that is, human beings fear the unknown. . .
