Okay, so I was in that quarantine mood
Youtube recommended me some random videos about the lighthouse, so I was awfuLLy cUriOuS. Turns out it was produced by A24 and I’m a really big fan . So I ended up watching it at like 3 am...

Weirdass movie I tell ya.

Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe’s acting performance is AMAZING (of course) and definitely gives the movie that spice it needs.

But the story in a nutshell is: 2 lads working in a lighthouse during the 1890s, which then turned them into a crazy manic state and end up killing each other !!!
And we get these weird hallucinations of mermaids and tentacle porn. Oh yeah, and dead seagulls.

DAMN YOU TOMMY ON SPILLING YOUR BEANS

Overall, I’m trying to dive deeper into the meaning of the movie’s ending so I could appreciate it more.

The Lighthouse has a really high rating, I would love to hear other people’s opinions on this.

I loved watching this movie. It was something that I had seen a big acclamation before watching and I'm a huge fan of B&W movies myself.
This one, in particular was weird but so rich of symbolism that I couldn't not love. When I watched it, I was trying to make myself like Robert Pattinson's film career a little more, since he is mostly known for his role as Edward Cullen in Twilight and Cedrico Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I imagined that, since he was leaving the 'teenage' bubble of blockbusters, his work could have become better and more subtle in a "great performance" way. To be really honest, I think he did that. When watching The Lighthouse, I was dumbstrucked by his performance, as well as Willem's. Their relationship in the movie is so complex and interesting, there is so much competitiveness about power and menhoood/masculinity in a very weird way...

After watching it, I looked for some reviews online and I found this amazing video that you might like too. This is an excellent movie, but I think it REALLY is not for all tastes. It is way too excentric ahahahah~
