Chris Stuckmann reviews The Lighthouse, starring Robert Pattinson, Willem Dafoe, Valeriia Karaman. Directed by Robert Eggers. - Розваги
The lesson I learned from this movie: DO NOT insult Willem Defoe's cooking.
HAAAAAAAAAARK!!
@@DustinWHiser Alright have it your way. I like ya cooking.
And dont EVER kill a seagull.
Do not insult Willem Dafoe's anything...
If I had a steak. A juicy rare steak right now. I'd fuck it.
I was worried about spoilers before watching this, but I’m glad you didn’t spill the beans.
Good pun ;-)
Ayyyy
What? What?
Ahhh. I see what you did there
“Why’d ya spill yer beans”
"Robert Pattison? You mean the guy from The Lighthouse?" This is what he deserves now. Not Twilight. He has catapulted himself into one of my favorite actors and am very excited to see what he does from here.
Definitely. I saw The Rover at a festival when it came out and that was it for me. Brilliant actor.
Apparently it's Batman 🤦♀️
Batman is next
Watch Good Time, dude is a great actor, I think we're in for a treat with the next Batman.
I’m happy to hear he’s a good actor since he’s going to be Batman lol
crazy to think that Robert Pattinson has been in one of Chris's hilariocity's and now one of his A+ ones
kylee t he pulled a kid cudi
@@DonDiego777 underrated comment
And that he got that batman role
M. Night Shyamalan mode
kylee t the parallel to Anthony and Kid Cudi.
This movie was the most messed up episode of Spongebob I’ve ever seen.
Ha Ha
Dafoe's character did remind me of Mr. Krabs LOL
I'M FEELING LIKE A TOTAL BARNACLE HEAD!
"Are ye feeling it now Winslow, are ye feelin it."
"Spongebob meets Eraserhead" was my review.
Dafoe: You know, I'm something of a sailor myself
Pattinson: It's you who's out Dafoe. Out of your mind!
Dafoe: WRONG ANSWER!
Dafoe : 🎵 the itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout🎵/ 🎵down came the lighthouse keeper, and washed the spider out 🎵
👌👌👌
*Great movie but you won’t receive a nomination for an Academy Award.*
Dafoe: I gave up a role in Mr. Bean’s Holiday 2... DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRIFICED?
You’re trash matthew
Robert Pattinson and Adam Driver need to work together in a movie helmed by a director who knows his/her stuff. These guys are some of the best young actors working today.
Miguel Pabello Robert Pattinson and Adam Driver written by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach directed by Noah Baumbach.
Honestly Adam Driver isn't that great of an actor. You can see his shortcomings and somewhat stiffness in Martin Scorsese's Silence. There, Andrew Garfield completely outshines Driver in every scene they're together. You can see the natural talent and charisma that Garfield brings into every scene as opposed to Driver's dullness.
Work with denis villenueve
@@AL-SH you're wrong
@@AL-SHNope. Do watch Marriage Story. Adam Driver is magnificent in it. Really talented actor.
2 things to keep in mind to stay alive:
Don’t kill John Wick’s dog
Don’t insult Willem Defoe’s cooking
Threeli Don’t kill sea birds
After seeing Togo, I wouldn't want to kill Wilem Defoe's dog either
Don't call Winslow a Dog
Threeli Don't fuck a fish
Reminds me that DaFoe was in John Wick
He gave it an A+.
This is not a drill I repeat this is NOT a drill.
LOL

Marcos Roman When he gives another A+
@@dr.manhattan7283 I think you have to stay there for two more years.
@@dr.manhattan7283 Come back, Jon. He gave the A+ to Parasite.
This is basically footage of me and my best mate when we went on a school trip to France and we had the only room without WiFi

Why this movie is worth an Oscar:
Thomas Wake: Yer fond of me lobster aint' ye? I seen it - yer fond of me lobster! Say it! Say it. Say it!
Ephraim Winslow: I don't have to say nothin'.
Thomas Wake: Damn ye! Let Neptune strike ye dead Winslow! HAAARK!
Thomas Wake: 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!
Ephraim Winslow: Alright, have it your way. I like your cookin'.
Contrapunctus XV ikr . Like it’s not that deep.
I salute you for remembering what he said I couldn't remember everything
@@kubolor1234 Yeah, but that's not the point.
Couldn’t agree more. This movie was an absolute clinic on creating a cinematic masterpiece and will be talked about for generations to come.
What... What's the point of this?
“Why’d ya spill yer beans”

That moment of silence was the most nailbiting sequence in the whole movie to me.

"You know I'm something of a lighthouse keeper myself"
"I am the vengeance. I am the night. I AM THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER"
You know, Chris Stuckmann grew up farting in a lighthouse.
@@skylergulley3949 "20 years in a lighthouse Alfred, we know what promises are worth. How many good guys are left? How many stayed that way?"
He must have had quite an eventful childhood with all the places that he grew up in.
you know Im something of an overused joke myself
Holy Shit Robert Eggers you did it.
Chris gave a movie an A+... in 2019.
Robert eggers is a strong talent who makes films in HIS vision, not the studios or general audience expectations - and I love it
Eggers is a force to be reckoned with. He is absolutely blowing it out of the water
And a 10/10 from YMS. Just imagine if Jeremy gives this an Awesometacular.
Redjfulfer eggers is a genius. Although I’m surprised Chris didn’t give the witch an a+ as well.
Redjfulfer holy shit dude that’s me
Can’t lie tho best acting display I’ve ever seen. shooting a movie with a cast that small the acting has to be impeccable & they achieved that. we literally saw 2 men go insane in process.. shit got wild
If look at trivia on imdb the director said all of the scenes with the rain and terrible weather were real. No wind or rain machines. He said 3 or 4 nor'Easters came through while filming. Thats fucking film making right there. No sfx, no studio warehouse. In the shit, getting amazing shots
I love how Robert Pattinson calls Willem Dofoe a “Parody” in the movie
Lmao it was hysterical
Chris: gives A+
Me: It’s been 84 years.
bruhhh
Bruhhhhhhhhhhh
Bro ikr!!
Bruhhhhhhhhhhhh
nerdgeekman of UA-cam it’s been 17 years! (For synecdoche New York fans)
Chris Stuckmann: *gives The Lighthouse an A+*
My Dad: *opens door* “Why are you screaming so loud!?”
I cried dude, i really did
That was totally me!
I was Hyped waiting for the A+ from like minute the 30 seconds mark.
@SquidBag It's a meme format, it's not that serious. I admit it gets annoying time to time, but it's a popular way to tell jokes now.
@SquidBag Mostly because it's a popular meme format, but I have to admit it is quite versatile and effective when used properly. In OP's comment, they never state their own personal feelings or reaction to Stuckmann's video -- rather, it is implied through context clues. This makes it a much more interesting and amusing read than if they'd simply stated their excitement as a matter of fact.
Another good use of the format is when you start off with the first speaker saying nothing at all, or even have that first speaker be as vague as "The Internet" or "Everyone." The speaker that follows, no matter what they say, is made to appear unjustified in their assertion, or irrationally provoked, due to the lack of any context. It's sort of a "No one asked" situation.
Then there's the classic set-up where somebody says or does a thing, followed by the second speaker saying "Hold my beer." This indicates they did something more extreme than the first speaker. Whether or not that thing is good or bad, is left up to the context of the situation.
I hope you enjoyed tonight's episode of _Memes and Themes._ Please join us next week, when we'll be taking a deep dive into the "Thanos Snap," and don't miss our sobering docu-drama "Keyboard Cat: The Day the Music Died."
The moment Chris said he didn’t have an issue with the pacing, I knew this was film was an A+
Robert used to be a hilariocity. Now, he's in A+. Ye like his lobster now, huh Chris?
Which one?
@@rae7158 Twilight obviously.
*A+ shows on screen
me: *distorted screams of joy, tumbles down stairs.
'I understood that reference'
Saw this comment, didn’t get it, saw the movie, came back to like it.
I just came back from it, and my god fuck the static will not leave my head.
lmao this makes sense now
I don't think his scream was of joy, but terror. Still a funny post though.
FINALLY, THE LEGENDARY A+ RATING IS BACK
Dude you spoiled it!
Don't go reading the comments before you've finished the video lol
@@TT-qc2mu well now that UA-cam moved the comments to the top its harder to not accidentally catch a glimpse.
@@TT-qc2mu I didn't try to read comments. I simply clicked the video and accidentally got a glimpse, as Cooking Sauce said
Will he review Parasite???
"Yer fond of me lobster aint' ye?"
NOU GAMES I won’t have to say nothin
Iconic
Ok I like ya cooking
Don't be such an old bitch!!
*wink*
I LOVED the scene where it suddenly gets quiet and there’s a shot of the door/doorway and willem is hauntingly saying “why’d ya spill her beans” over and over, probably my favourite scene along with where pattinson goes out and sees himself and his clone and him turn around and willem is there naked with the the beam of the lighthouse coming out of his eyes
Awesome spoiler, dick.
You can literally watch this movie on a gameboy.
Lmao
Lavender Town from Pokemon Gen I?
wait i wanna watch it on a gameboy
Reminds me of this indy game on steam

“It's bad luck to leave a toast unfinished, lad. “
Killing a seabird is bad luck
@@ricardooliveros6411 killing anything without reason is bad luck.
@@patrickfrost9405 true but I think I killed alot of ants for no reason so there's that
An interesting tidbit of that scene is how Winslow gets up and fills his cup with water to toast with which is also bad luck. Cool poke at his counterpart there.
Call me Winslow!
I’ll never forget the “Don’t leave me!” line and the crazy gaze with it.
Here’s a brief synopsis: Ren & Stimpy’s “Space Madness” takes place in a 19th century lighthouse.
Space Madness was much more entertaining.
Yes! I'm going to rewatch that.
💯
WE FINALLY GOT AN A+!
Will he review Parasite???
Hallelujah
Took almost 2 years.
Wot?
Parasite is another A+
Oh my god Chris Stuckman gives a movie of 2019 an A+?
I HAVE to see it.
@Bryan birdchest Callen ya I agree, its not better than the joker, and I personally found it pretty boring.
@Bryan birdchest Callen it's an original work with outstanding acting and ambiguous throughout. Much better then joker, and I loved that film too.
It’s a movie that you need to see multiple times. The most important thing you need to do when watching this movie is listen closely to everything they said
@@KevinContreras2013 I can't wait to see it again
Spoilers
You hear Winslows accent changing constantly throughout the film. It's not on accident, it shows how unreliable he is from the beginning. Too much to hide. He even admits in the beginning of the film that he doesn't like talking much. "Why'd ya spill ya beans?"
Bryan birdchest Callen
Yeah I doubt it’s better than Joker, that movie deserves at the very least an A
I feel like this will go down as a classic in history, a Shining or a Taxi Driver
It had many similarities with the Shining
It's funny how movies about disturbed personalities or people going mad are usually the best
@Упа Волинь
A few, yes, but it still managed to be its own thing. Great, great movie and with Parasite definitely my favorite of 2019.
I don’t think so, but this movie is bloody fantastic. I just watched it, and I’m itching to watch it again. Definitely requires a second viewing
Lol
I have at least 5 different interpretations of this myself. The Greek mythology interpretation is pretty blatant but I think it's more layered than that. Robert Pattinson's performance was absolutely amazing!

Lesson of the movie:
Do not kill seagulls
And definitely don't leave the cisterns lid open... @~@
aye
Also never insult Williem Dafoe’s cooking

“Why?”
“In ems the souls of sailers, what met their maker”
tall tales
*slaps him*
HE’S DONE IT! HE’S GIVEN AN A+!
Will he review Parasite???
A pluck
“This movie has fart jokes.... Imma give it an A+”
Francois Roewer-Despres I just don’t get Chris sometimes. This movie has fart jokes, it gets an A+. The Secret Life of Pets gets not only fart jokes, but also a rabbit pooping in full view of children, and he gives it a, “...this is a dumb Toy Story rip-off”. Only one explanation... he’s becoming woke and recognizing that fart jokes and the kids’ movies that shamelessly use them have rights, too.
@@thefirstbourne149 underrated comment😂😂
He gave Swiss Army Man an A so I guess that's all it takes for Chris to give a great score.
Gxldboy J By the way, I have no problem with Chris Stuckmann being woke, and I support Social Justice wherever it should be.
Blazing Saddles has fart jokes and that's an A+ in my book. Context is key.
Jesus, I got tricked by that video and thought you actually gave it an F
Lmfao. I came here just to check if he actaully did give it an F. Bamboozled.
what video?
“Should pale death, with treble dread, make the ocean caves our bed, God who hears the surges roll deign to save our suppliant soul”
The drought has ended
The grade has been said, we’ve been waiting for 2 years 👏👏👏🙌👏👏
Lightning speed Has it really been 2 year since he gave a movie A+
@@renly2429 Not count those old movies, the last new movie I think he gave A+ was Lady Bird, Nov 20 2017.
MC Roy He should review Burning , Blindspotting and Shoplifters then
How long have we been waiting for this? Five weeks? Two Days? Help me to recollect.
@@renly2429 Parasite!!!!
I love how, despite having 2 famous and extremely recognizable actors in the lead, the movie makes you forget who they are, and they just sort of fall into their character.
Before i watched it i was like "oh, robert pattison, the twilight guy. Great". But as i watched it i almost forgot who i was watching. I wasnt watching the twilight guy act like an insane man, i was watching an insane man.
Well, 37 scenes of a guy pushing a wheelbarrow on a bad day can do that to a person. :)
If you want an entertaining night, watch the commentary of Twilight with Pattinson. He hated the role and spends the whole time fun of himself, while the director acts as though she was filming Shakespeare.
I literally dont remember any of their names
sleeping gorilla He May have hated those movies (and I don’t blame him), but those movies have allowed him the freedom to pretty much do whatever interests him, instead of having to take bad movie roles in order to simply make a living.
I walked in thinking that too...then he started beating his meat outta no where
This and Parasite will be 1 and 2 on Chris’s best of 2019 movie review
Cameron Hawes Unless The Irishman and/or Marriage Story get an A+. Which both are deserving.
@@megamoviez Irishman fell just short but Marriage Story did get the A+
Guess not. Oh well.
The Lighthouse was Number 1, but Parasite was Number 3.
Nice prediction!
That’s funny cause there was only 5 people in my theater including me
It's a film for niche crowd. Definitely not for everyone. It was definitely for me. Loved it.
Weird. The theater I saw this in was a packed house.
Packed house for me too, fucking loved the movie though!
How does that make a movie bad?
randomguy6679 it’s cause Chris mentioned that 5 people can go watch it and all have a completely different interpretation of the film.
HE HAS GIVEN THE ALMIGHTY A+...
How long has have we been on this rock (with no A+)?
Five weeks? Two days? Help me to recollect.
Ps, I agree, the movie rocks.
Austin Burke I believe Lady Bird was his last A+ all the way back from 2017...crazy!
About ten months if you count It's a Wonderful Life.
Hey i watch your videos too dude
Pro 92 Hey, thank you!
In my opinion, its not that big of a deal. Like its his opinion, and I feel like people forget that he loves tons of movies in 2018, he just simply doesn't find any of them masterpieces. Also big fan of you and your reviews
I’m glad that a film like The Lighthouse is capable of being made in 2019. Horror films that actually demand some level of thought from viewers are depressingly in short supply these days. I’m happy that this film can exist and be great.
Most audiences are dumb asses who don't understand films like the witch, hereditary, midsommar or the lighthouse, they would rather watch garbage like the conjuring franchise.
@@creativeperson5858 what's wrong with the the conjuring movies ?
Though I definitely wouldn't call it a horror film, I'm really glad original films are being made. I wasn't a fan of this one, but I love what it was trying to do.
I kind of enjoyed Annabelle creation though but it will never beat hereditary and the VVitch
@@creativeperson5858 lol very true. I just finished watching this film as I'm commenting now and there were these 2 old ladies in front of me saying it was horrible. I personally thought it was very intriguing.
Robert Eggers is originally from the town next to where I grew up, so seeing his influences through coastal new england and new england colonial history gives his movies so much more depth. Seeing the houses from the 17th and 18th centuries that helped him to come up with these settings and characters is really cool, and I feel extremely connected to this movie in particular. It's like a memory from when you're a little kid and maybe sometimes you dream about it, but it mainly stays in your subconscious. It hits that deep for me.
The Golden Globes ignored this masterpiece. Hopefully the Oscars don't do the same.
SPOILER: They probably will.
Clough Says risky films like this exist in an alternate universe to the academy.
@@Dancerama6, it's so deserving.
They did :(
@@aniruddhagowda8072, I saw. Go Joaquin. Go Brad Pitt. Screw the Academy.
Sadly dey did
This will probably be number 1 on his best movies of 2019 list
What, you don't think there will be another A+?
Maybe parasite, the irishman or marriage story can be number 1
@@richardlugali2690 Yeah, Parasite is really good
He hasn't seen Parasite yet. I'm waiting for that review.
@@richardlugali2690 The Irishman is incredible; easily an A+ film for me.
Robert Pattinson is slowly becoming one of my favorite actors.
Same, I can't wait to see how tackles Batman, alot of people don't like his casting for it but I think he will do well.
@@jamais412 what’d you think about it?
I was upset that this movie didn’t get that many Oscar nominations. Both Pattinson and Dafoe give great performances and both deserved Oscar nominations, especially Pattinson who I think gave one of the best performances of the year.
Willem Dafoe creeped me out in this role in a way that I never experienced before. He seemed otherworldly at times.

FireCobra This is a masterpiece, but I watched it alone.. it is not a family movie! I understand your family wholeheartedly. Watch this with a soulmate or on your own, nothing else will suffice. Hear me, ye.
leave them
“But ye like me movie taste don’t ye?!”
Leave and get a new family. They're dogs.
It is a very intense movie had i seen this as a kid im sure i would've been haunted far enough to repress it. Not a family movie unless your family enjoys horrific art movies in the best way
I wouldn't call it a Horror film at all, definitely a Psychological Thriller. It was incredible and so unique and for me the directing, cinematography and acting were the best elements of this film. Also you're right it was MAD!
Chris: an A+
Me: Ladies and gentlemen...we got’em.
Chris when Parasite? That seems like another A+ movie as well.
Yes!
@jonathan wakefield I still haven't seen it. But just based on the incredible reception it's getting from everyone A+ seems possible.
Oskari It’s an A+ too, I’ve seen it twice already
I think he haven't seen it cause he lives in Ohio and Parasite is currently screening on NY and LA only.
I got an ad for Parasite before this video.
Egger is slowly becoming the Kubrick of our time
Imo he’s the best director working today!
One of the best films I’ve seen this decade.

@@Punk-Mask when I loved you
we all just got rick rolled
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.
Brilliant!

Is it horror tho or psychological thriller ?
Not Jordan Peele, he’s doing mainstream trends about hating White people.
Ilqr D. Right
Mike Flannigan?! How could you forget him!?
Idk why this guy is talking about a24 being above making fart jokes. Has he seen swiss army man? Lol
Wasn't even a fart joke. More like a human trait for Winslow to get annoyed at. It just happens to be funny, cuz farts... you know.
those weren't just farts, they were power moves!
Did you watch the video? He literally said a24 ISN'T above making fart jokes.. and he said that like 3 times
This movie has that feeling where you could totally imagine it being a play.
This I will see. These are the kind of movies we seriously need to support.
Yup. After End Game I'm officially done with MCU movies, I'll catch the rest at redbox. I want to see real creative features now like that movie about Brooklyn Edward Norton is in. It really shows his range as an actor
you need to watch Van Gogh. willem does a great job, and its very arthouse/independant. made by ppl who appreciate and value good filmmaking rather than millions of dollars. i rented if from redbox a while back and was struck by how good it was.
A24 movies are in a category of their own, they're so good and, like this one, rarely fall in the mainstream type of movie
Batman and the Green Goblin live in a lighthouse together for a month

nuffsaidNY now that’s a story I want to see
So happy Chris gave this movie an a+
Clearly one of the best film I've ever seen
Reminded me of Psycho mixed with any Beatles album after they dropped acid.

Excited to see you next review The Northman!! Coming back to this video after watching it last night at the theaters..! 😃
"How long has it been since [Chris gave an A+]?
5 weeks? 2 days?
Help me to recollect..."
I finally figured out what was inside the top of the lighthouse at the end......it was Chris Stuckmann’s A+.
Brian Jones fucking spoiler asshole
hahaha nice one
I was laughing at the cooking seen. Then he went into that speech and it gave me chills for some reason
This film would be a work of genius without the comedy, but the comedy just elevates it for me. That you can have a fart gag to release the tension somehow elevates it to high art for me. Go figure.
IT'S SPELLED "SCENE" YOU FUCKING MORON
@@onedoorfilms Also a much as that scene was hilarious - the speech eluded to winslows fate and was actually pretty intense, genius film!!
I guess he fucking liked it.
Finally after 2 years an A+
The last film to receive a+ was Lady Bird!
Lady Bird was sort of a B for me.
Yup
A24 will not stop until they get 24 Stuckmann A+s.
And before that, Blade Runner 2049 received an A+
I loved that movie, I'll definitely be watching this sometime soon.
I am clearly not a writer, but I wanted to share my thoughts on The Lighthouse. And all opinions are welcome to help me further understand this crazy movie Holy… shit. Okay so I watched the Lighthouse and I haven’t been too fond of anyones interpretation so far, so I felt like I might as well share mine. I literally hate reading and writing, but this movie was so deep I couldn’t help but speak on it.
What does it all mean?
Simply put, Robert Pattinsons character is in purgatory. He murdered the real Winslow, and was sent to live in purgatory for as long as he could last. The island is his final stop before eternal hell. And the island is set up with conditions that are designed specifically for him to lead to his inevitable demise. He is murderer, and is sentenced endure the life of a grunt, doing lighthouse chores while being patronized by an old man, until he can handle it no more and murder the old man, touch the light, and advance on to eternity of being eaten alive.
Its brilliantly fucked up if you think about it. Everything he is surrounded by is supposed to push him to his unraveling, theres nothing he can do about it, its only a matter of how long he can last. The fact that the movie is in black and white reaffirms this even more. Because he is dead, in hell, no color left in his life, no life. Just Dull grey and colorless and hopeless.
So I think that his purgatory was set up for him to fail, and its just a matter of how long he can withstand the torture. He was told not to kill a seagull or itd be bad luck. Then the seagull antagonized him constantly. Mermaids are bad luck, yet his only form of a female fantasy he has to cling on to Is a mermaid. Also, he clearly had some sexual issues, and what else would be a perfect torture, other than having a beautiful woman top half, but a disgusting fishy scaly bottom. it was suggested that the previous sailor left it behind, but ive gotta say It seems like a specifically designed torture method. Lastly his biggest temptation is the Lighthouse its self. He has to do all of the grunt work every day and isn’t allowed up to the light, while watching Wake, worship it every night naked. And when he finally does touch it, he experiences every emotion at its highest, simultaneously, then screams with pain pleasure confusion clarity and madness, and then is sent to his hell of being eaten alive for eternity. He lays in a dried up ocean, no eyes, stomach open, being eaten, and is clearly alive still. I think they made this shot to show he is finally in literal hell. Naked, no need for clothes, unable to die, because he is already dead, being eaten by the “souls of sailors” and you see a sky full of seagulls “souls” up above.
My interpretation of whats on the surface
On the surface/My interpretation
Winslow is at the light house voluntarily for work to earn a wage.
Perfect set up for a prison designed for him to fail. He believes he is there to earn money, so It will keep him motivated to do chores. He has to follow Wakes orders because Wakes controls if he gets paid for his work. It doesn’t matter however because this is purgatory and you can take solace in working here for eternity with no end opposed to being eaten alive by sailor souls for eternity.
Wake is a mad man and curses Winslow for insulting his cooking
Wake is a mastermind, sea god, who is just torturing Winslow. He lets him know his fate to further increase his gloominess on this isolated island. Wake is able to handle the light on a nightly basis, he is powerful, not just a crazy old man.
Winslows snapping point.
I believe when Winslow finally saw Wakes books and records he was keeping on him, he finally realized he was in purgatory and just decided to accept his fate of damnation. He read the book and immediately punches a clock. I think its to say he realizes theres no such thing as time where hes at and that fucking clock on the wall is just there to fool him. He sees that his reviews are all terrible. He was forced to drink and written up for drinking. He slaves day in and day out and takes insults assuming it means he is completing his job. But once he sees it has all been for nothing this far it clicks to him that this is his own personal hell. He comes from the trees and the forests, so what better place than be surrounded by water. He calls out Wake for being a sailor parody. Which is exactly right, Wake is just playing the part of everything Winslow would hate about a person. Winslow realizes this has no end, fully aware of the other option because Wake gave him a clear description of his damnation when he insulted his cooking. So he buries Wake, and goes to touch the light to get the ultimate reward for his eternal horrid destiny.
I think this is what happened because Eggers style. The witches ending only showed her smiling and floating to the sky, but her ending is not happy at all. She got a delicious reward for the eternal damnation of her soul. Just like Winslow, who was sent to this purgatory for murdering the real Winslow.
Specific torture
The island its self
Winslow said himself he wanted to settle down up north. With the trees and green lands. So an endless raging sea on a desolate rock is pretty much the exact opposite.
Howard himself
A farting insulting, patronizing smelly old man. Embodying everything Winslow hates deep down. He literally cant stand him, yet he is stuck there with him in claustrophobic living quarters. Being constantly berated and labored.
The mermaid sculpture
Winslow definitely had some sexual issues. So they planted a mermaid toy to be his only form of female fantasy. He has a nasty old man, and a mermaid. So he masturbates to it, but his sexual fantasy is of having sex with a disgusting fishy mermaid bottom. She has a beautiful face but only has a terrifying grimace and screech. His best form of comfort is still a conflicting mental mess. He even breaks down crying while masturbating. Although he did see his murder victims face too so that could have something to do with it.
The seagull
Being constantly warned not to kill a seabird or it will bring bad luck. The seagull antagonized him constantly through out the movie. That is pure psychological torture. It stayed within hands reach, while pecking at him and squawking at him every day while he has to do lighthouse chores. The bird was literally there for him to kill and antagonizing him to kill it, but if he kills it he will be damned.
The light
Just like the seagull, he will be damned if he touches the light. The light is like the ultimate temptation accompanied by the ultimate damnation.
Once again this island is just his alternative option to hell. He can remain a man, that gets to walk and talk, eat and drink, speak, think, fantasize, essentially live. However, this life, will have no clear pleasure. You can eat but it will be shitty, you can drink but it will be alcohol or sludge water, you can jerk off but it will be to a screeching fish woman. You can have a companion, but you will loathe him. You can live, but you will work tirelessy in harsh wet conditions. But if you kill a seagull it will get a lot worse here. And if you touch the light, you will be eaten alive in a dried up ocean for eternity. Once Winslow reads Howards book, he figures out his situation, and chooses the light.
Holy crap that's the best interpretation I've read of the film so far, along with its references with Greek mythology. Excellent man I'm gonna see again hoping to gain more appreciation from it.
Your interpretation matches mine a lot of ways, but with some key differences. I think he really IS lying there dying at the end, though his manner of punishment does indeed evoke the Greeks' Prometheus. Thomas's crime in life was to covet the lives of others. Feeling chained by his own sordid past, he killed a man and stole his identity. At some point after, I believe he DOES set off to become a lighthouse keeper, but maybe gets shipwrecked and eventually dies. The events surrounding the lighthouse are a fever dream produced in Thomas' last moments, as racked with guilt he contemplates his past.
Like you elaborated, all the events of the film are symbolic. I believe, however, that Wake for one represents Thomas' father. Thomas even compares them outright, believing both worked him like a mule and never gave him his due. When Thomas discovers the journal, I equate this to a manifestation of the inequity he felt in real life, which led him to steal the life of Winslow. Continuing the analogy, my interpretation is therefore that the "Light" represents the brilliance and shine of the "good life," and just as in real life, in Thomas' purgatory he kills another to take what is not rightfully his. I believe Thomas' displays of lust in the film aren't necessarily sexual, but a representation of his covetousness. For example, when he envisions the mermaid for the first time, he initially believes her to be a dead woman. Does he help her? No. He brushes aside the seaweed and begins to fondle her. To his horror, she awakes and begins to scream in madness. This parallels two key points of the narrative: one, Thomas' ecstasy and madness at finally seeing the stolen Light, and most importantly, two, Thomas in real life not helping Winslow, but letting him die and taking his life for his own. The eventual madness is symbolic of the pervading guilt.
I agree with you, but I believe that even if the island was made to antagonize him, it was more of a challenge rather than his fate. Maybe if he could’ve resisted temptation till when the boat came in he would have been saved, it is purgatory, where heaven can still be achieved. But once caved in, he failed and was set on a path down to his fate.
This was really interesting and thought out, I like it. Good interpretation!
@@TakeOffYourBoots I wrote this interpretation hoping a more educated person could come and give me the legit explaination i needed! this is that explaination! thank you for this, and thank you for reading my extremely long comment and giving a thoughtful response. What do you think was in the light? and do you think Dafoes character has any ties to any actual diety?
I just finally watched this movie, and I agree with absolutely everything said in this review. This is one of the most honest reviews I’ve seen yet.
This was #1 in his 2019 top 10 list.
Well deserved
Everyone: “Chris is done giving A+s”
Chris: “Hold my 1.19:1 aspect ratio”
Jesus, that meme is dead to the point where it doesn't make sense any more. Give it a rest.
Glitcher2000 lol exactly
Meme appears dead. 300+ negative reacts support this.
I just want Willem Dafoe to win an Oscar already man
Gonna be tough with phoenix’s phenomenal joker performance
Oscars are a bit of a joke. He knows what he's accomplished without a bunch of old white dudes giving him praise for it.
Was Willem Dafoe the supporting actor or the protagonist? Because main protagonist may go to Phoenix, De Niro, or Di Caprio.
@@wisco9er536 willem is supporting, so he has a chance.
@@musicfilmhead9051 nice, very nice.
Wow, thank you so much Chris for such a beautiful, spectacular review, I absolutely adored this film too, and I'm so happy to see someone also appreciete the deep strengths of the movie that were just right up my alley. Truly a wondrous, glorious, work of art. :)
Good to see Pattinson and Stewart doing amazingly well in their respective careers.
Taylor lautenr? Star of the legendary Sharkboy and Lavagirl? Don't forget him
“I had high expectations for this movie because I grew up watching a lot of psychological thrillers set in lighthouses.”
Jonathan Bartholomew so was it up to the mark
My girlfriend said that good time was arguably the best performance from Robert Pattinson
*"Long and hard is the path that leads out of darkness and into the light"*
One way this film can be seen in that Thomas is on the island to pay penance for his sins through physical and mental hard work like they did in medieval times. Wake is like a guardian angel that's there to guide him. You'll notice after lots of hard work Wake tells him that he likes him and he'll be able to work the light soon but upon Thomas asking why he hasn't worked the light yet, Wake pushed back because he's not yet ready. When Thomas moans about the lobster, Wake sees it as a sign he's not grateful for being sustained through his penance and says the curse as a way of preaching damnation of hell if he keeps on focusing on worldly desires (steak) instead of why he's there.
Then comes the confessional, as a part of repenting Thomas opens up and confesses his murder, but Wake responds with "why yer spill yer beans" in the theological sense of asking him is he confessing out of attrition. We hear a spooky echo of Wake saying why yer spill yer beans almost like you'd hear a gregorian chant in a empty cathedral. If we imagine Thomas is hearing this in his head then it truly means he's wrestling with his sin, between good and evil...Am I bad person or a good person? Did I make a mistake and can move on with my life or is it in my nature to be a murderer and I'm damned?
Thomas tries to flee the Island, Wake drags him back because as his guardian angel he doesn't want him to fail. He then asks Thomas to remember how many days he's been on the Island, to remember why he's there, to purge his soul of sin but Thomas demands the secret of heaven without first paying his penance in full.
Thomas also wrestles with the sin of fornication, throughout the film the mermaid is the object of his sexual desires and he's scared of it, when he is playing with himself in the shed he keeps on getting flashes of Wake in his mind which shows he's struggling with lust and he knows it, theres a point where he comes out of the shed after finishing and Wake is looking down on his from the tower as a sign that he's the one next to heaven and Thomas is down in the gutters of sin. Thomas asks Wake if he feels shame when he sleeps with women, to which wake replies he feels no shame because angels of God by definition are morally perfect. Again, if wake tells stories of sleeping with women it doesn't mean he's done it, he's just guiding him through penance by focusing his mind on certain aspects of his being. Thomas also tries to kiss his angel but fights back against it with violence, this pleases Wake, there may still be hope left.
Thomas finds Wakes log book in which he is faced with his sins and his shirk of penance. Instead of accepting he's on the path of falling short of god and is determined to short his life out on the island, he rebels against the angel.
Towards the end of the film it comes to a climax where Wake confronts Thomas with everything that's built up and happened throughout the film about his sins and his diabolical attitude towards redeeming his souls, Thomas can not handle it and beats up his guardian angel. His final act is to kill his angel which proves he is now beyond redeeming and can not be saved, when he gets to the light he is rejected at the gates of heaven and cast down to hell where he will be tortured in hell fire, the seagulls represents demons doing the devils work and the ocean is the lava of hell.
*Long and hard is the path that leads out of darkness and into the light*
In my opinion the film is about falling short of God's standard and shows us that hell is waiting.
I have one question: Spongebob and Mr Krabs or Pattinson and Dafoe?
I see you're also a fan of the Spongebob Lighthouse Trailer...

The Lighthouse should be adapted into a stage play THERE I SAID IT
No. Not needed. Perfect in this medium.
@@sclogse1 While I agree that it is perfect as a film, I just wanted to point out that it is a theatrically-based movie (both Eggers and Dafoe had their start in theater) and it could totally work as a play.
There are some similarities to the 1930's play, 'Thunder Rock' -- but that story has an optimistic conclusion, unlike the harsh ending of'The Lighthouse.'
I thought the same thing while watching it
Not really. Part of what made this movie so great was the editing and the way it was filmed and presented, which you can't replicate in a play
I work overnight at a water reservoir in Massachusetts. It's surrounded by woods and the roads are about half a mile from it. There's no one around for miles and it can get pretty lonely as its just me working. I watched this movie during one of my shifts. I did my rounds and went inside a small wooden cabin that I use for a meal brake or just to hang out. I downloaded this movie on to my tablet and watched it at 1am in the cabin while it was raining pretty hard outside with thunder. I got so into this movie that I really felt like I was in there with Dafoe and Pattinson. The Lighthouse is truly a masterpiece.
Nah chief that’s a formula for a panic attack
@@jakem8504 haha you got that right.
Just seen the movie, got really excited and started researching. Your comments were spot on.. I think this is the best movie that's been made in the last ten years or so.. and I would say its in the best of all time, I'm truly impressed
FINALLY. IT HAPPENED. THE LEGEND OF THE A+ HAS RETURNED.
Some said it was just a myth. I never once believed it
Willem dafoe: You know how much I sacrificed?
Chris: *gives A+*
Dafoe: you know I'm something of a sailor myself
Scott Scully sailor, I thought you were a general ?
Scott Scully best comment !!!! 😂
Omg thanks for the link of SkillShare, I also loved your review thanks!
This movie was so clever yet simple. Dafoe was great as always, but Pattinson.... holy shit. This movie deserves so much more praise
What I would give to hear David Lynch review this movie.
