What this movie wants to tell the audience through the mouth of the old man from the tower early in the morning——
"What's the terrible part of a sailor's life, ask ye, lad?
Tis when the work stops when ye're twixt wind and water.
Doldrums. Doldrums.
Eviler than the Devil.
Boredom makes men to villains,
and the water goes quick, lad, vanished.
The only med'cine is drink.
Keeps them sailors happy, keeps'em agreeable,
keeps'em calm, keeps'em...
Stupid."
Old Thomas, who was alone as a lighthouse watcher on a very remote island, became a villain who liked mind control to play with others until he collapsed and died because of boredom.
The tower-keeping assistant Thomas, although he was bullied and deceived by him and dare not speak, but at any rate he is also a cruel character who has avenged his public revenge and failed to save him. Although his spirit is approaching madness day by day, the young people always have backlashes. strength.
Just as Blue Beard's wife couldn't control her desire to open that deadly secret room, Thomas eventually walked into the tower lamp room where the old villain had always forbidden him to go.
What did he see?
Could it be that mermaid?
This film seems to imply such a terrifying desperate situation-there is only pure depravity, no light redemption.
The black and white blurry vision, dull and monotonous sound effects, and violent and crazy performances really make this movie very unique (but not unique), and those who love reasoning can also see through some settings (such as two people getting drunk and waking up at night). , The old villain told the assistant that many days have passed, but in fact it is impossible, because the assistant’s beard is still the same length as yesterday. With their drunken energy, it is impossible to trim the beard carefully. The tableware happened in the transport ship. After coming, the man's beard can't be seen for a significant long period of time.) As far as I am concerned, I can see the end after a short period of time.
