There are scenes in this movie that I will carry with me until I die. It is art.
Me too, my favorite movie
"Let Neptune strike ye dead, Winslow..!"
Yer fond of my reaction.
This film is a masterpiece. It should have won a lot of awards. What an absolute crazy movie.
I love every Robert Eggers movie. His rendition of Nosferatu comes out this year!
37:00 It's lovecraftian. It's mesmerizing. There's something supernatural about the light. Forbidden knowledge.
This movie, to me, is like a fun toy. Watch it through, deliberately thinking that Pattison is crazy. Then, watch it again, doing the same with Dafoe. Then, give it up, because this movie doesn't just have an unreliable narrator; the narrator here may as well be a weathervane, blowing east, blowing west. Because of the Prometheus touchstone, I've settled on this: Pattison is unenlightened man, the id, eternally working to fight to maintain structures and machinery from nature, and barely keeping up. Dafoe is the holder of fire, knowledge, the ego. He has custody of it, but doesn't understand it, is confused and superstitious because of it, but it does give advantage. But it also puts the ego into position to dominate and humiliate the id, which doesn't much like this arrangement. By the time they're both Tommy, it's pretty clear we're at least metaphorically watching the dynamics inside one man's soul. What actually happens by one guy or the other and who's gaslighting who, which events are actual and which are hallucinations or fantasies, that's just the fun of the film. I'm positive only that there's no positively accurate narrative. Also, when they run out of booze, they start drinking kerosene, the fuel for all the machines and the light itself. Have fun.
I remember watching talking this during lockdown. We were all stuck inside more or less with everything closed so this movie hit different.
So many layers and possible interpretations to this masterpiece. Love it! Great reaction.
Oh heck yes! I've been waiting for just any of the reactors I watch to watch this! Gosh this is just a masterpiece of film.
i think what they are drinking after the booze runs out is the lamp oil mixed with honey
Might be a tale of guilt against being able to admit it to yourself not be able to deal with it. Defoe is the mind that tells him, confess, you will be free
When they ran out of booze, they resorted to mixing light fuel (most likely kerosene) with honey. It's a very desperate, and deadly, way to get drunk in lieu of alcohol
If you’re looking at the Prometheus myth, he literally fights Poseidon, the sea god, one of the Olympic gods at the end
It’s one of many interpretations which is why the film is really fascinating. It makes space for multiple interpretations.
The VVitch takes p!ace in 1630, not the 1300s. European settlers didn't arrive in America til the 1400s
I didn’t know it took place in America
Interesting. "A New England Folktale" is in its title & they do talk about emigrating from England to America in the movie.
But to be fair, I'm a big fan of the film so I may have paid closer attention to the details than most
I saw it once, years and years ago, so details have faded. I just remembered it took place a very very long time ago.
There are suggestions of repressed homosexuality here as well. When Winslow is engaging in "self-abuse" as they call it, he keeps having visions of the real Winslow popping into his head, which he tries to angrily shake away by shaking his head. And the two men almost kiss when they're drunk, which then leads to them fighting. And in the absence of any women, they sort of fall into male/female roles, with one complaining about the other's cooking, and bickering like an old married couple. (That might just be my interpretation.) In any case, I enjoyed your reaction. And you're right about the Prometheus reference!
Salo, 120 days... is next? Lets go, Caligula 🎉 sweet, summer chicks you are 😊 peter peter Grenway awaits 😊
It's not 4:3 ratio - this is a 1:1 ratio film.
1:1.3 technically, if I recall
Can you guys do the 2018 Susperia?
