@@XDarkBrotherhoodHD exactly. People commenting here that there isnt a theory and its two people going mad....well yea. But Eggers himself explicitly stated Greek mythology is imbued in this film. The last scene of the movie where Pattinsons character is having his intestines picked at by gulls is a direct reference to the fate of Prometheus. There are several theories or ways to interpret this film for sure and I think thats the point.....but still...

Pattinson just keeps getting better and better with each film he's in. Reminds me of Heath Ledger's arc. Except Ledger sadly did not get to keep going. Pattinson is also incredibly good with accents. The subtlety and nuance he gives the upper Maine/new England dialect here is beyond impressive. Another note : Robert Eggers was very upfront that this film is steeped in Greek mythology. So, in context, Proteus is Dafoes character (or some representation) and Prometheus is Euphraim/Pattinsons character. Promethus's fate is the fate that befalls Euphraim at the end of the movie. Birds eat his innards every day for eternity. Messed up huh ?

elli The movie is a follow up to the original tale about a young man killing a lighthouse keeper and going mad. Willem plays that young man who has grown old but is still mad, hallucinating that his younger self (Robert) is him, as if it’s all happening again. That’s why both are named Thomas, Willem constantly warns Robert about stuff that he’ll end up doing such as Killing a seagul or the mermaid, Willem knows where the buried box is, or why the people don’t come. And the final most important showing of this is the obsession with the Light in the lighthouse, Willem is protective of it because he too has had the experience Robert has at the end, because he is Roberts character!! The whole film is basically the purgatory of the young man that goes mad after killing the old lighthouse keeper in the real life story. Confusing yes, great movie definitely 😂

So frustrating that people had such a hard on for brad pitt this year (even though i did love his performance) as Defoe put in a career best.

The light is his salvation he seeks to rid himself of the guilt or responsibility of coming to terms with what he did which ultimately he can't.

There are such things as author and directors intent as well as a narrative by the film itself. If you want to say "oh he's just mad" than Winslow was insane before he even got to the island we see him have nightmares and visions the first day on the island, not to mention we literally see Wake take the form of Triton with his tentacles and attraction to the light and LITERALLY HAVE WAKE EXPLAIN TO US THE SUPERNATURAL POWER OF THE LIGHT, HE LITERALLY SAYS MULTIPLE TIMES WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO WINSLOW. Even if you wanted to say it's because they're insane, why does every person that comes onto the island have these visions, attracted to the light AND we see their souls are trapped on the island as seagulls. "Souls of dead sailor picking away at your body until the sea takes you away" paraphrasing but that's literally what happens at the end of the movie. So get outta here with "iS nO pUrGay" because it's clearly more than just two people going insane. Unless in Winslows insanity he just decided to get naked outside and pass out for seagulls to eat his organs, he just imagined seeing what the light shows exactly as described by Wake, and even if you want to say it's all in his head why would he voluntarily give up the light and go outside to be killed we literally see him judged by the light and fall downstairs breaking his legs, how did he even walk outside?

As far as movies that aren't about anything and have no plot go, this one was fine-ish, I guess?

1:28 "I could use me a smoke." Those were the exact words he used after Wake asked him if this wasn't all just a psychotic dream his mind conjured up while he was freezing to death in Canada...

Saw this movie in theaters and felt like I was going mad alongside them. This scene absolutely wakes you the hell out of that trance

3:32 GOOD GRIEF, HES NAKED!! - Plankton

This was my favorite movie of the year and my favorite performances of the year. Pattinson and Dafoe were just incredible. Probably too weird for most people but man I loved it.

Saw this movie for the first time last year and I can easily say it's my new favorite movie. It was so good after watching it for the first time, I started it all over!

Wow. When he looked me dead in the eyes I was horrified. This movie is nothing short of disturbing and I love it. Multiple ways you can perceive what the story was about, could be as simple as two men going mad at a lighthouse in the ocean, all the way to the theory that this is purgatory and Tomas howard is being tested by the captain an angel of some sort

0:51 damn that unnerving pan towards the shadow behind him, like Wake was right there listening to every detail of what he did

His performance reminds me of Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood. Total transformation.

Pattinson was able to break the "Twighlight" mold he was in which makes me happy. I bet a lot of actors would be good in more experimental films such as this, they're just not willing to take a risk.

Funnily enough, Mermaids in sea myth are actually considered sea demons. So I guess the Mermaid scenes in this movie could be considered a demon tempting Winslow with some bad shit.

First time I watched this, the slow pan then zoom to the doorway had me frozen in fear - I genuinely couldn't look away but was scared shitless that something was gonna jump out at me. Incredible film.

I feel like this is about coming to terms with your inner demons and eventually they will consume you if left unchecked

So I know that it's kind of the point of art to be up to your interpretation, but what's interesting about the movie to me is that I can see multiple references and allusions to what it might be about. Right after the movie finished I tried to figure out what the light really was or represented. Prometheus' quest for the fire and the captain talking about St. Elmo's Fire brought me to that. I gues the director also mentioned something about Prometheus and Proteus. On the other side of things, the sea mythos and superstition was so heavy and to me the lighthouse and the sea seemed to be nature itself working on tommy's irreverence for the legends and superstitions of the old captain. After all, the wind changes after he kills the seagull which brings that storm. Then you have the angle of it merely being a psychological thriller, the old captain says himself that Tommy is so confused he might be simply imagining all of this as some grand hallucination. On the other hand, perhaps the captain is driving Tommy to this madness. You could totally determine nearly every weird scene as from the point of view of a disturbed individual, or you can really believe he really did find a siren beached on the rocks and there are supernatural forces at work. Anyway, I think there are weaknesses to a film left this incredibly open, but it was still far more interesting and engaging than most crap out there. It feels like if Eraserhead by avid Lynch and The Old Man And The Sea by Hemmingway had a disturbed child called The Lighthouse.

This scene seems to symbolize an awakening of the younger character turning the scene of him speaking outloud in reality into a scene of what can be seen as a vizualiztion into his inner thought.... In his mind is where he sees himself on the lighthouse and a mystical Thomas hypnotizing him... This is imo when he realizes he has been played the whole time.... Fucking incredible movie. Havent gotten this excited for breakdowns in film is so long.

Está escena es increíble!!

The way the background sound fades to silence and the camera slowly pans around when he sees Wake isn't there creeps me the fuck up. It's so hard to find (sort of) horror movies that excel at creating dread and anxiety instead of depending on loud, shocking action. Masterfully done scene and a masterpiece of a movie.

I wonder if it's a coincidence that both main characters' names are Thomas.

who gives a fuck. is your love of this movie really dependent on some elitist organization picking your movie? Fuck em.

Seems to me Pattinson is a younger version of Dafoe, although it’s hard to say if it’s told from the perspective of Dafoe seeing a younger version of his once self or Pattinson imagining himself many years from then, either way a internal strife between the two.

"I'm something of a Lighthouse myself"

Just realized that this movie reminds me of the Slinging Slasher episode of Spongebob

In my opinion, this scene confirms my theory about the film, which is that Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson are both the same character. The movie is really about a Timberman in the Hudson Bay who is piss drunk and is going mad after he could have prevented his friend/colleague from tragically passing away in front of his own eyes. Thomas the Timberman cannot handle this reality; thus, he fantasizes himself as a Wickie in New England named Ephraim Winslow to escape this harsh reality. Willem Dafoe is Robert Pattinson's old identity, while Robert Pattinson is a new personality struggling to break free. The movie is a power struggle over two identities. In the end, Pattinson kills his old identity believing this will give him a new light and a new purpose in life, but he is stuck in hell in the process, as his subconscious picks away at the reminisce of his old self.
