There's an old myth among sailors that the seabirds that follow their boats out to sea are the spirits of dead sailors. Old, deceased crewmen watching over their former crewmates. Seems like that seagull that tormented Winslow was supposed to represent the old lighthouse assistant warning him.
It was never exactly clear if Dafoe had killed his old assistant. Was the head in the crab pot a hallucination or real? Both the head and the seabird were missing their left eye, and we know Dafoe lied and was purposefully harmful to Pattinson, even twisting what really happened moments after breaking the life boat. I think both men were cracked and sinister, likely ruined by the combination of environment, bad water, too much alcohol and superstition.
@@wkndwarrior3532 You know I'd never even noticed that the seabird and the head were missing their left eye. That makes the connection with the myth even more interesting in a way. I guess both interpretations, the hallucination and the head being real, are potentially valid here.

Do they ever say "the body was never found" or something like that? I vaguely remember something like that but I'm not sure.
"the old lighthouse assistant warning him" - except it seemed to be attacking Winslow at least twice (AND it ripped his trousers, AND his buddies were eating Winslow's liver). I don't think the gull was a 'good'...uh...'character' lol (for lack of a better word).
One trippy damn movie. About 2/3rds of the way through, I didn't know what was real and what was in Tommy's mind, which made me realize that was the point of the director. It was the first person perspective of an insane man that we were experiencing. Damn good film.
It's sad cause a lot of the views on here are people who don't want to watch the movie but want to watch someone else read a summary of said movie for them.
I love when a movie makes you feel that you are witnessing something from another time. There Will be Blood, The Witch, and The Lighthouse really made me feel like I was travelling back in time and seeing something real.
@@TokyoAfterlife I think the seagull is the other lighthouse keeper that Thomas killed on his last watch. His body is in the cistern and his head was thrown in the sea. The reason he laughs when Winslow drinks the water at the start is because he knows what's in the cistern and thinks it's funny that he's drinking a dead man. This is also why Thomas isn't drinking any of the cistern water and is only drinking alcohol from bottles. The seagull was trying to tell him why the cistern needed lime and Winslow killed it dooming himself to the same fate.
Same here. Pattinson really surprised me. I’m checking out all his other movies now, except twilight of course. And I always got a gassy old man vibe from Dafoe.
Svinja Robert Pattinson has been killing it for years now actually. Make sure to watch “Good Time”, if you haven’t. He is easily one of the best actors alive right now.
When Ephreim lied on the rocks with cockels in his eyes and sea gulls eating him it was the curse Tom gave him earlier when he insulted his lobster cooking. Wonder why you didn't find it interesting to mention it.
*"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!"*
I think I preferred The Witch more, as a whole, but the speech Defoe gives when his Lobster is insulted is one of the best things I've even seen in a movie.

The Fantastic Paul Yep, and comparable to Robert Shaw’s bomb delivery monologue from Jaws. Glad to see that someone else appreciated that domination of the screen...
This movie was terrible. Exponentially overhyped. Seems like people like movies that are super confusing and you need an explanation to. This movie was pretty awful in my opinion.
I believed this film to be about the constant conflict men have between one another for power. Older Thomas manipulated and constantly pushed younger Thomas down in order guarantee his position as alpha male, as men have down throughout history. He felt more fulfilled the more he broke another man down. The lighthouse symbolizes the sense of salvation one gets from being on top and in control. Its imagery is also clearly phallic. Older Thomas wanted to keep it all for himself because if he ever lost it he would be less of a man. The sea gulls represent the men who failed to find the light in their past lives. Some may have challenged Older Thomas in the past and failed. Ironically their salvation was found through death. At the end of the film the souls of those men are literally feeding off of Young Thomas; a man who broke the rules and stole the light through sheer force. Even after death, men continue to feed off of one another. Idk, that's just my take.
C3PO: I am fluent in over six millions forms of communications. Me: Can you speak in flatulence? C3PO: Flatulence? Why, it's like a second language to me.
This movie all takes place in the afterlife. The first shot is them arriving by boat, which symbolizes crossing the river Styx. Defoe is the devil/Hades and the light in the lighthouse is heaven. Defoe jerks it to the light because he wants to return to heaven, but can't. There's a Greek story of a man tricking the ruler of the underworld to return from the afterlife, just like Pattinson does to Defoe. When Pattinson stares into heaven he is being judged, which is why he screams and falls down the stairs back to limbo. The only real world shot is the last one with Pattinson returning to the mortal realm in his once dead body.
But that doesn’t make sense, at least not looking at Greek mythology. Hades ruled over the entire afterlife. From what you might call hell to limbo to heaven. He wouldn’t be banned from a part of his own land or long for it like the devil would long for heaven.
Okay honestly. Some people haven't seen the movie and would like a recap. What the hell do you mean shouting? Some people don't have access to this movie and would love a recap. You people are so damn insufferable with "you're not explaining the movie you're only recapping it." Perhaps you need to explain what the fuck happens before you can actually explain it. Gosh.
@@trialerrorsharer9398 who goes to an "ending explained" video of a movie they haven't seen? Clearly he does this to pad his video times. As the OP said, it would only be a minute otherwise
Hot take. Wake is Winslow. After the painting accident, i think the real Winslow died. I mean, the day after Winslow didnt have a scratch on him. I think Wake left Winslow for dead (getting picked at by seagulls in the end) and created another Winslow in his mind. After the incident Winslow started drinking. He started to rebel more, ultimately became more like Wake every day. Maybe the murder of Winslows boss, inferred to the man Wake had killed and he could finally admit it to himself. You find Winslow sleeping in Wakes bunk. And ofcourse, Winslow starts calling himself Thomas. In the end, Winslow killing Wake, was just Wake killing the last bit of his sanity. Just some food for thought.
salty sailor I’m pretty sure he means this type of content as a whole and he was just using the intro of this video as an example that he puts effort. Also chill out dude
I totally related to their situation. The days bleeding into each other, not being able to remember entire weeks at a time, and the news repeating the exact same thing each day make you go insane.
Theory: Tom (Patterson) is actually a sailor who has crashed and marooned his boat on an island (same as the tory old Tom tells) He is heavily injured and lies dying on the rocks while the birds peck and eat him. The movie is his dying thoughts of trying to make sense of the situation and some hope for rescue/ help. Old Tom also tells young Tom "Maybe you are in Canada....not here at all"
I had that same thought, like Jacob's Ladder. At one point after he insults Tom's lobster cooking Tom curses Ephraim. The closing scene is exactly as the curse was described which also made me think that maybe he was dying and in some sort of dream-like state slowly unraveling. Of course that's just my theory. On a side note I think it's also worth mentioning that the seagull that was harassing him had one eye, just like the head in the lobster pot and could have been the soul of the man who he had replaced.
I am honestly dissapointed that nobody is taking a serious note that both are the same person...its like every "explanation" just copied the previos one
Let Neptune strike ye dead Winslow! HAAARK! Hark Triton, hark! Bellow, bid our father the Sea King rise from the depths full foul in his fury!

IronVigilance Wtf 💀 they were at work you can’t have your phone out on the job and why tf do they need to take a picture they don’t have to PROVE anything to you 🤦🏽♂️
Between this and The Witch, I don't think it's an overstatement to say that Robert Eggers is one of the best directors working today. Absolutely nails the atmosphere of every scene
CMD 3 - to be fair, both movies are extremely slow (which I’m a fan of) so I understand why people would be turned off by them and why Eggers being one of the best directors working today could be a huge overstatement. I’m also an alcoholic and I like to argue
These movies were so good, I cant believe you have people out here that dont like these films. They just seem like people who only eat chicken nuggets and ranch all week. Like utterly tasteless and clueless. Then you have the odd nuggy eater who is intelligent enough to pronounce the word "pretentious" and they think they have it all figured out. I think they just lack the attention span to allow a films mood to set in on them. Im not a film snob, I get it, I really do but there are some things that some people just cant get and bash because it goes over their head.
I never judge Robert because of Twilight. He's a damn good actor. Very versatile. He did actually good in Twilight also. Put some respect on his same. I also think he'd do great as Bruce Wayne too. Gotta bulk up though.
"Prometheus was punished by the gods by giving the gift of knowledge to man. He was cast into the bowels of the earth and pecked by birds" Now I can appreciate the oracle turret even more
@@kimberlyarrington5721 fire in a sense is knowledge. It rapidly advanced humanity-cooking meats means more energy for brain growth, warmth, light, a weapon, etc. And zeus was not happy about that.
The scene at the end was physically impossible, meaning it's either completely metaphorical, or it's the souls of dead sailors punishing Robert's character for killing one of their own (implied to be Defoe's former protege, as both the sailor and seagull are missing their right eyes).
DON'T MESS WITH THE SEA-BIRD! Best leave him be, lad....lol both actors are great in this role dafoe and his long speeches are legendary in this film....especially Patterson's tells him he hates his cooking...lol
For me, it signified he was in the process of dying after he fell down the spiral stairs and his brain just morphed it as being naked by the shore and being eaten alive.
Is it impossible because his legs broke or something else? I thought perhaps he crawled outside in insanity and unclothed himself, and then the birds fed upon him.
@@dec23 Yes I see it as his broken mind bringing to life the curse placed on him (Dafoe's awesome monologue) as he lays dying at the bottom of the staircase.
I honestly saw it as something that literally happened. The Lighthouse LITERALLY disappeared, along with everything connected to it--his clothes. Nothing left but Winslow himself.
@@serg4308 I should probably learn more about Lovecraft like horror because my definition of it is otherworldly horror. Which I felt that The Lighthouse accomplish.
This video is the most directly comparable project to the way that I’ve attempted to complete English course papers. 80% retelling passages from the reviewed subject, 10% actually persuading/answering the assignment, and 10% rambling/filler.
That Japanese monster movie called "the host" if you've heard of it, did the same thing to me when I first watched it with my dad when I was little, my legs were shaking soooooo much from that LOL
Most of them don't interest me, I just like hearing him talk about it. The only time I've actually considered it was after I saw the videos about The Conjuring franchise; I want to go back and watch the original two films but I haven't yet because I'm still a big baby lol
If it seems interesting I’ll check out videos on the movie and then watch it. If it doesn’t seem interesting I’ll watch videos about it and then just move on, unless someone else convinces me to watch it.
really? A porn mustache always takes 50% of a mans looks away. Robert Pattinson just manages to still look somewhat attractive in one. That's just my opinion, but I'm praying that those 70s terrorstaches do not make a comeback
Can you do Dont Be Afraid Of The Dark (2009 or something)? That ending always confused me as to why Kim would side with the fairies and why she’s alive and stuff,
.... She got turned into one. You can see earlier in the movie that one of the "faries" looks like Lord Blackwood from the beginning of the movie. They kidnap humans and transform them into fairies
In my opinion Winslow was way more injured when he took that fall, Tom threw him on some rocks to die shortly after. The rest of the movie takes place in his head.
" I saw ye, yer fond of me lobster." Lol I honestly didn't understand most of what they were saying but I like the atmosphere of the movie. Definitely a great movie but not for everyone. Including me. But I liked it. Really well made movie.
I'm starting to really like Pattinson as an actor, he's had some awesome movies in the last few years. 'The Rover' was great and 'Cosmopolis' was weird but had its own charm. Along with this movie he's really starting to prove his skill in the trade.
@@radthibidaeux8229 The episode had great writing. I'm surprised no gothic/doom metal bands took that phrase. However one of my favourite in the genre, My Dying Bride came close with their 2012 album title "A Map of All Our Failures".
Ur so entertaining on ur own, but also so informative ab so many movies. I don't watch alot of horror channels, but this is by far the best, but then again, just 1 of my absolute fave channels over all!!
Here is a tip, if you haven’t already done so: I always leave the “closed caption” on while watching movies like this so I can understand what the hell they are saying. For me, I thought Ephram was modeled after the Greek myth of Sisyphus (a trickster who once ruled the kingdom of Ephyria). He cheated death (by not helping the other logger, which may have caused his own death) and he was forced to do hard labor (like Sisyphus was forced to roll a boulder uphill, only for it to roll back before reaching the top, at which point he was forced to roll it back up, over and over). Sisyphus was also laid out in the open when he died. Just my interpretation. But I have to say, it would be very hard to be stranded on a lighthouse island for weeks with Robert Pattinson, and NOT try to at least kiss him, lol. Can’t fault Thomas on that one. Just sayin
Winslow represented Prometheus, Old Tom was god, like Zeus maybe Poseidon, the seagull is the bird that Zeus turns into sometimes in greek mythology and the lighthouse is the power of knowledge.
Okay so I just recently saw this movie and I thought it was great, and the Prometheus themes are certainly one of them, but I think there are multiple layers and interpretations to this movie, and I'm gonna point out something we're thinking with a friend over a beer after the film, this is pretty complex but bear with me, I wanna hear if any of you agree with me. So here are some observations: -Tom tells that during his time as a logger his former boss whom he said he watched die was also a cruel taskmaster like the older Thomas -After the scene where the guys dance and nearly kiss and it turns to fighting, there's another scene both men are drunk and laying basically on each other's lap, with Tom saying multiple times something to the extent of 'I know what you're trying to do' -The older Thomas multiple times refers to the younger Tom as 'pretty', and as having 'the eyes of a woman', and even calling him something liek a harlot or a slut 'just wanting attention' close to the end of the film. This results in the final big fight during which Tom subdues Thomas, and as he's on top of him and beating him, he sees several visions that alternate between him beating Thomas, him beating Thomas turned Neptune with tentacles, him having sex with the mermaid, and I think tehre's a short shot of him a top a different figure, a blond male that I think is briefly shown once or twice before and I'm assuming is his former now dead boss. -Both men have lost their previous work buddy in mysterious circumstances, possibly killing them -Tom never makes a mention of having had a wife or a girlfriend, and even when asked about his future plans, he said he wants to just save up money and buold his own place, makes no mention of getting married -When he masturbates, he's always shown masturbating to the vision of a mermaid, -Early on in the film, Tom is fixing the roof and while doing so spies on the sleeping Thomas who's I think partially naked on his bed. So I think there's a subplot/theme in here about repressed sexuality during that era. In the 1800s being openly gay or bisexual was obviously not socially acceptable, but there's clear sexual/romatic tension between the men when they're drunk. Both dislike or even maybe hate the other sober, but whjen they're wasted they have a good time, dance, hug and almost kiss, and are very soft towards one another. Basically I think it's possible to read it so that Tom had some sort of a romantic or sexual encounter with his previous boss, and was so ashamed by this that he either killed or allowed the man to die, stole his identity and escaped to a remote island, only to basically have to come face to face with his own sexuality yet again. In the end he becomes the man who's identity he stole, literally beating Thomas into submission and walking him around like a dog, but note that he stops burying Thomas alive, as if he doesn't at thios point already know that if he's not killed he will try to prevent him from getting to the lighthouse. In fact he stops himself killing the man twice: first during their final big fight, second time during the burial. Only when Thomas comes and hits him with the axe is he finally 'forced' to take the life of his companion. Maybe it's just the beer, or maybe watching the movier made me a little crazy in the head as well, but I genuinely think that there's a heavy theme of repressed feelings and sexuality throughout the whole film that applies to both men. Thomas makes a mention about how he's now 'married to the light' and how it's 'treating him better than any woman ever'. So maybe the light and the secret knowledge finally reveleaded to the Promethean Tom in the end is the realization that he's indeed intoo men, and realizing this finally kills him. Am I completely lost or anyone feel like I maybe onto something? Either way, it's a god damn awesome piece of cinema, and I'll certainly watch it again.
i dont know man. i kinda dont see it. there was tension between the two. but for me it was only when they almost kissed. couldnt feel anything. and besides its cleat they hate each other guts most of the time. the only point you made i couldnt figure myself was when Ephraim sees Thomas through the shingles half naked. didnt take it as homoerotic or anything... not at all, but couldnt figure what its supposed to mean.
My theory: Winslow and Wake are the same person, but Defoe plays the role of Thomas's friend that was killed before and his head is shown in the middle of the film. We discover that both characters have the same name later on the movie when Winslow says his true name is also Thomas. 'Wake', Thomas Wake, that could be his mind telling Defoe to wake up. Pattinson plays the real Thomas when he first arrived to the lighthouse and killed his friend/partner. Later he's driven into madness when sees the light. The sea birds starts eating his livers, but he doesn't actually die. He's on a eternal loop reviewing the first moment he got to the rock as punishment for killing the bird, but playing two people (himself and his partner who he murdered). P.S: We hear in some moment in the film that Defoe's character was from Salem, indicating that the wife he left behind is probably a witch and cursed him. (She's also the mermaid that Winslow keeps seeing all the time). Considering that they're both the same characters playing different roles, the curse is for both (from the wife and the light... Or are both the same?!).
Also, right after he kills the "old" Tom, he gives a speach that is eerily similar to all of Dafoe's other speeches. "Should pale death with treble dread make the ocean caves our bed, God who hear'st the surges roll, deign to save the suppliant soul" This speach certainly doesn't seem like an accident to me.
I think the killing of the bird and the sea being angered by it is symbolic of the killing of the albatross in the poem,'The rime of the ancient mariner' where the people on the ship face bad luck after one of their men kills the albatross.
This movie was really one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. Insanely captivating and enthralling the whole time, and Pattinson and Dafoe were amazing.
This movie was so unsettlingly for me. I’ve watched many horror movies in my day that are messed up and scary but this was anxiety inducing I felt like I was there and I felt the fear and creepiness all throughout. I loved it!
Maybe he kills his timber friend and escape .. now on the run .. use boat .. land on island waiting to die (the ending scene ) all that happened in the movie is all in his head . The curse etc all of it kinda direct to the ending the loud noise is actually him screaming for help that's why that's what he sees on the top on the lighthouse .. back again to reality than he's dying .. end ..
At the end where Winslow is screaming into the light.... remember when old Tom went up top with the light, he always shut and locked the trapdoor. But Winslow didn’t shut the trapdoor, hence why he fell back down the stairs. If he had shut and locked the trapdoor maybe he would have become the new lighthouse keeper, seduced by the light.
I’m not gonna lie, I usually only lightly chuckle at the jokes on this channel, but that whole intro made me literally laugh out loud a few times. Good shit, Mr. Flix.
This is the kind of story that I love, more psychological so the creepy level goes higher. And this movie is also a proof that Patterson is not just a sparkly vampire.

@@HeirrOG yea. Dead Meat too, chelsie sometimes too!
steven berthy bruh the relative comments is getting annoying
I believed this film to be about the constant conflict men have between one another for power. Older Thomas manipulated and constantly pushed younger Thomas down in order guarantee his position as alpha male, as men have down throughout history. He felt more fulfilled the more he broke another man down. The lighthouse symbolizes the sense of salvation one gets from being on top and in control. Its imagery is also clearly phallic. Older Thomas wanted to keep it all for himself because if he ever lost it he would be less of a man.
The sea gulls represent the men who failed to find the light in their past lives. Some may have challenged Older Thomas in the past and failed. Ironically their salvation was found through death. At the end of the film the souls of those men are literally feeding off of Young Thomas; a man who broke the rules and stole the light through sheer force. Even after death, men continue to feed off of one another.
Idk, that's just my take.
this was a better interpretation than this entire bullshit video.

This movie all takes place in the afterlife. The first shot is them arriving by boat, which symbolizes crossing the river Styx. Defoe is the devil/Hades and the light in the lighthouse is heaven. Defoe jerks it to the light because he wants to return to heaven, but can't. There's a Greek story of a man tricking the ruler of the underworld to return from the afterlife, just like Pattinson does to Defoe. When Pattinson stares into heaven he is being judged, which is why he screams and falls down the stairs back to limbo.
The only real world shot is the last one with Pattinson returning to the mortal realm in his once dead body.
Damn that's crazy
But that doesn’t make sense, at least not looking at Greek mythology.
Hades ruled over the entire afterlife. From what you might call hell to limbo to heaven. He wouldn’t be banned from a part of his own land or long for it like the devil would long for heaven.

Hot take. Wake is Winslow.
After the painting accident, i think the real Winslow died. I mean, the day after Winslow didnt have a scratch on him. I think Wake left Winslow for dead (getting picked at by seagulls in the end) and created another Winslow in his mind. After the incident Winslow started drinking. He started to rebel more, ultimately became more like Wake every day. Maybe the murder of Winslows boss, inferred to the man Wake had killed and he could finally admit it to himself. You find Winslow sleeping in Wakes bunk. And ofcourse, Winslow starts calling himself Thomas. In the end, Winslow killing Wake, was just Wake killing the last bit of his sanity.
Just some food for thought.

Man, just imagine what quarantine would be like for these guys.
I totally related to their situation. The days bleeding into each other, not being able to remember entire weeks at a time, and the news repeating the exact same thing each day make you go insane.
Theory: Tom (Patterson) is actually a sailor who has crashed and marooned his boat on an island (same as the tory old Tom tells)
He is heavily injured and lies dying on the rocks while the birds peck and eat him.
The movie is his dying thoughts of trying to make sense of the situation and some hope for rescue/ help.
Old Tom also tells young Tom "Maybe you are in Canada....not here at all"
I had that same thought, like Jacob's Ladder. At one point after he insults Tom's lobster cooking Tom curses Ephraim. The closing scene is exactly as the curse was described which also made me think that maybe he was dying and in some sort of dream-like state slowly unraveling. Of course that's just my theory. On a side note I think it's also worth mentioning that the seagull that was harassing him had one eye, just like the head in the lobster pot and could have been the soul of the man who he had replaced.
This is a 'Harry Potter was actually all the hallucination of a child living under the stairs' tier interpretation.
There are so many different ways to interpret this movie which I think was done purposely to make everyone interpret in their own way.

The scene at the end was physically impossible, meaning it's either completely metaphorical, or it's the souls of dead sailors punishing Robert's character for killing one of their own (implied to be Defoe's former protege, as both the sailor and seagull are missing their right eyes).
DON'T MESS WITH THE SEA-BIRD! Best leave him be, lad....lol both actors are great in this role dafoe and his long speeches are legendary in this film....especially Patterson's tells him he hates his cooking...lol
For me, it signified he was in the process of dying after he fell down the spiral stairs and his brain just morphed it as being naked by the shore and being eaten alive.
Is it impossible because his legs broke or something else? I thought perhaps he crawled outside in insanity and unclothed himself, and then the birds fed upon him.
@@dec23 Yes I see it as his broken mind bringing to life the curse placed on him (Dafoe's awesome monologue) as he lays dying at the bottom of the staircase.

In my opinion Winslow was way more injured when he took that fall, Tom threw him on some rocks to die shortly after. The rest of the movie takes place in his head.
Jon Snow what about the axe chillin in Toms head?
I think he died after that fall, and the rest of the movie is his personal hell for murdering his foreman
So personally if we are to say that the lighthouse is represented knowledge. I think whatever Patterson saw was bad enough to kill himself.

I'm starting to really like Pattinson as an actor, he's had some awesome movies in the last few years. 'The Rover' was great and 'Cosmopolis' was weird but had its own charm. Along with this movie he's really starting to prove his skill in the trade.

Ur so entertaining on ur own, but also so informative ab so many movies. I don't watch alot of horror channels, but this is by far the best, but then again, just 1 of my absolute fave channels over all!!
Here is a tip, if you haven’t already done so: I always leave the “closed caption” on while watching movies like this so I can understand what the hell they are saying. For me, I thought Ephram was modeled after the Greek myth of Sisyphus (a trickster who once ruled the kingdom of Ephyria). He cheated death (by not helping the other logger, which may have caused his own death) and he was forced to do hard labor (like Sisyphus was forced to roll a boulder uphill, only for it to roll back before reaching the top, at which point he was forced to roll it back up, over and over). Sisyphus was also laid out in the open when he died. Just my interpretation. But I have to say, it would be very hard to be stranded on a lighthouse island for weeks with Robert Pattinson, and NOT try to at least kiss him, lol. Can’t fault Thomas on that one. Just sayin
Excellent interpretation!
So this is what it's like to be famous.

Character: *Kills Seagull*
Poseidon: *GET REKT BITCHES!*
Hahahahahahahahahahaa
Hahahahahahahaa
Hahahahaa
Guy : kills annoying seagull
Sea: so you have chosen death
Winslow represented Prometheus, Old Tom was god, like Zeus maybe Poseidon, the seagull is the bird that Zeus turns into sometimes in greek mythology and the lighthouse is the power of knowledge.
Okay so I just recently saw this movie and I thought it was great, and the Prometheus themes are certainly one of them, but I think there are multiple layers and interpretations to this movie, and I'm gonna point out something we're thinking with a friend over a beer after the film, this is pretty complex but bear with me, I wanna hear if any of you agree with me. So here are some observations:
-Tom tells that during his time as a logger his former boss whom he said he watched die was also a cruel taskmaster like the older Thomas
-After the scene where the guys dance and nearly kiss and it turns to fighting, there's another scene both men are drunk and laying basically on each other's lap, with Tom saying multiple times something to the extent of 'I know what you're trying to do'
-The older Thomas multiple times refers to the younger Tom as 'pretty', and as having 'the eyes of a woman', and even calling him something liek a harlot or a slut 'just wanting attention' close to the end of the film. This results in the final big fight during which Tom subdues Thomas, and as he's on top of him and beating him, he sees several visions that alternate between him beating Thomas, him beating Thomas turned Neptune with tentacles, him having sex with the mermaid, and I think tehre's a short shot of him a top a different figure, a blond male that I think is briefly shown once or twice before and I'm assuming is his former now dead boss.
-Both men have lost their previous work buddy in mysterious circumstances, possibly killing them
-Tom never makes a mention of having had a wife or a girlfriend, and even when asked about his future plans, he said he wants to just save up money and buold his own place, makes no mention of getting married
-When he masturbates, he's always shown masturbating to the vision of a mermaid,
-Early on in the film, Tom is fixing the roof and while doing so spies on the sleeping Thomas who's I think partially naked on his bed.
So I think there's a subplot/theme in here about repressed sexuality during that era. In the 1800s being openly gay or bisexual was obviously not socially acceptable, but there's clear sexual/romatic tension between the men when they're drunk. Both dislike or even maybe hate the other sober, but whjen they're wasted they have a good time, dance, hug and almost kiss, and are very soft towards one another. Basically I think it's possible to read it so that Tom had some sort of a romantic or sexual encounter with his previous boss, and was so ashamed by this that he either killed or allowed the man to die, stole his identity and escaped to a remote island, only to basically have to come face to face with his own sexuality yet again. In the end he becomes the man who's identity he stole, literally beating Thomas into submission and walking him around like a dog, but note that he stops burying Thomas alive, as if he doesn't at thios point already know that if he's not killed he will try to prevent him from getting to the lighthouse. In fact he stops himself killing the man twice: first during their final big fight, second time during the burial. Only when Thomas comes and hits him with the axe is he finally 'forced' to take the life of his companion.
Maybe it's just the beer, or maybe watching the movier made me a little crazy in the head as well, but I genuinely think that there's a heavy theme of repressed feelings and sexuality throughout the whole film that applies to both men. Thomas makes a mention about how he's now 'married to the light' and how it's 'treating him better than any woman ever'. So maybe the light and the secret knowledge finally reveleaded to the Promethean Tom in the end is the realization that he's indeed intoo men, and realizing this finally kills him.
Am I completely lost or anyone feel like I maybe onto something?
Either way, it's a god damn awesome piece of cinema, and I'll certainly watch it again.
I think the moral of the story was: drink beer, not lamp oil.
@@SatanicBunny666 always compliment the chef
i dont know man. i kinda dont see it.
there was tension between the two. but for me it was only when they almost kissed. couldnt feel anything.
and besides its cleat they hate each other guts most of the time.
the only point you made i couldnt figure myself was when Ephraim sees Thomas through the shingles half naked. didnt take it as homoerotic or anything... not at all, but couldnt figure what its supposed to mean.
Honestly I think it's just the madness getting to both of them
I think Eggers is above basing an entire film on sexual orientation.
My theory: Winslow and Wake are the same person, but Defoe plays the role of Thomas's friend that was killed before and his head is shown in the middle of the film. We discover that both characters have the same name later on the movie when Winslow says his true name is also Thomas. 'Wake', Thomas Wake, that could be his mind telling Defoe to wake up. Pattinson plays the real Thomas when he first arrived to the lighthouse and killed his friend/partner. Later he's driven into madness when sees the light. The sea birds starts eating his livers, but he doesn't actually die. He's on a eternal loop reviewing the first moment he got to the rock as punishment for killing the bird, but playing two people (himself and his partner who he murdered).
P.S: We hear in some moment in the film that Defoe's character was from Salem, indicating that the wife he left behind is probably a witch and cursed him. (She's also the mermaid that Winslow keeps seeing all the time). Considering that they're both the same characters playing different roles, the curse is for both (from the wife and the light... Or are both the same?!).
That was what I thought
And that's how he broke his leg, falling from the stairs
Also, in the screenplay the characters are referred to simply as "old" and "young". Not saying this confirms it, but it certainly supports the idea.
Also, right after he kills the "old" Tom, he gives a speach that is eerily similar to all of Dafoe's other speeches.
"Should pale death with treble dread make the ocean caves our bed, God who hear'st the surges roll, deign to save the suppliant soul"
This speach certainly doesn't seem like an accident to me.

I think the killing of the bird and the sea being angered by it is symbolic of the killing of the albatross in the poem,'The rime of the ancient mariner' where the people on the ship face bad luck after one of their men kills the albatross.
Yep. This is very similar.
I thought this movie was going to be a "remake," of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner because it sounded pretty similar.

Gawd I love your banter. Keep it coming!!!
Foundflix and Deadmeat is how I watch horror movies.
"Hi I'm james a janice and welcome to the kill count" *jazzy intro starts*
lightning boi spooky rice too!
This movie was really one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. Insanely captivating and enthralling the whole time, and Pattinson and Dafoe were amazing.
I think that director likes David Lynch juuuuust a little bit.
Keith Donovan I thought i was the only who noticed the similarities in their direction style
I think Eggers is a very unique filmmaker but I felt a bit of Ingmar Bergman in it, which is a huge compliment.
The whoke thing felt like a Twin Peaks dream sequence in the best way
Nothing really explained, just a briefing of the movie. I suggest searching for another explanation
This movie was so unsettlingly for me. I’ve watched many horror movies in my day that are messed up and scary but this was anxiety inducing I felt like I was there and I felt the fear and creepiness all throughout. I loved it!
"living alone together, just them"
me: tHaTs gAy
Did you see the movie? It is peppered with homosexuality
Yup
>green goblin vs batman
oooo, shots fired
Haven't seen Lighthouse, but it sounds more atmospheric and nuanced than The Witch.
Maybe he kills his timber friend and escape .. now on the run .. use boat .. land on island waiting to die (the ending scene ) all that happened in the movie is all in his head . The curse etc all of it kinda direct to the ending the loud noise is actually him screaming for help that's why that's what he sees on the top on the lighthouse .. back again to reality than he's dying .. end ..
at first seeing the image, i thought robert pattinson is jude law
Foundflix and dead meat have to be the saviors of not wanting to go and watch a movie on DVD or at the cinema
Too lazy to watch a movie? FoundFlix is waving at you.
At the end where Winslow is screaming into the light.... remember when old Tom went up top with the light, he always shut and locked the trapdoor. But Winslow didn’t shut the trapdoor, hence why he fell back down the stairs. If he had shut and locked the trapdoor maybe he would have become the new lighthouse keeper, seduced by the light.
I’m not gonna lie, I usually only lightly chuckle at the jokes on this channel, but that whole intro made me literally laugh out loud a few times. Good shit, Mr. Flix.
This is the kind of story that I love, more psychological so the creepy level goes higher. And this movie is also a proof that Patterson is not just a sparkly vampire.
Pattinson!
