This is a wild ride. I love both these actors so much. Remember Me with Rob Pattinson was the first thing I saw him in and it made it hard for me to believe he ever did Twilight. 😂
Great reaction like always and i agree this is wierd but in a good way Robert Eggers did a good job. When you confine two people in a small space, there's not a lot of room for secrets, lust, fights, hallucinations, kinship or farts...over time, such confinement can make any sane man question reality... Keep up the good work.
There are different versions of the saying but the main ones I've heard are "idle hands are the devil's workshop" and "the devil finds work for idle hands"
Great reaction! I've watched a few of your videos and love them. I've become kind of a movie reaction video junkie over the course of the last year, but I don't think I've seen anyone else do The Lighthouse, and watching you go on this journey was fantastically entertaining! As for the movie itself, my personal opinion is there was nothing supernatural happening. All the fantastic elements we see can be explained as delusions by Winslow. It's a very grounded story of two awful men crossing paths and trapped together. If you've ever worked any kind of classically "masculine" jobs like construction, trade work, even things like landscaping or custodial work, and you are part of a team with low direct supervision, you can always find an old guy like Tom. Someone who has been there way too long to the point it's affecting their mental health, with delusions of grandeur, and takes any measure of power or responsibility he is given to the extremes. Where their main motivating factor is their own ego. For Tom, the abuse he gives to his young counterpart is routine, he did it to the last guy too. Tom is a sadist, a sociopath, and a gaslighter, which gives him power over those around him. The problem is he meets a man who is equally psychotic and a genuine murderer, haunted by his last killing, already seeing no hope of redemption, just wanting to be far away from humanity. What happens in the movie is the end result of what happens when these two combustible elements are trapped together. Its a study on human nature in isolation. As for the light, I really do believe all he saw was a very bright light, and his scream was from the realization of what he's done, all for nothing. The light held no magic, except the ability to make a worthless old man feel like a God. Then Winslow slips, falls, and is delivered to the punishment Tom warned him was coming. Again, great reaction and you just earned yourself another subscriber! Looking forward to more great content!
Great reaction! This is my favorite film of all time. Couldn't tell you why lol. And yes "sperm whales pecker sparkles" is one hell of a tongue twister
holy SHIT, it got me too when he rounded the corner shouting at the end there, jumped me~ to me, this film's about a dissolution of reality when you spend too long somewhere, and hear the same things going on all the time, and under abusive circumstances. Then again, maybe neither of them were fully screwed-on in the first place. There is the mystery of Tom's perspective on things; I felt a real tingle of paranoid fear tickle my brain when they're arguing later and he looks Eef, dead to money, and asks him, "How long we been on this rock for.." maybe it's because I caught this a year after, when isolation was really becoming part of the current normal, but it was chilling to think that even in livable conditions, the mind tatters at the corners when wind blows too hard, and boredom begins to make us all to villains. I used to live near a small coast, though, so fuck seagulls though.
I'm trying to imagine watching this in the height of isolation and wow that would have definitely added an extra layer. The seagulls comment made me laugh out loud!
Cosmic horror and Willem Dafoe = gold! - gawd I Fukkin LOVE this movie. It made me like Robert Pattinson. to even hold your own against Willem at his PEAK! As for thoughts. It's classic Lovecraftian madness. Turn of the century New England coastal Madness! This is NOT lovecraft, though it does have some influence. this is actually based on a real life mystery "The Flannan Isle Lighthouse" mystery where everyone at the light house disappeared. It's a pretty terrifying true tale, just youtube search for it and you'll find several well done videos on it. Highly recommend.
I think in reality the light was just a light, but Winslow is so out of his mind who knows what he experienced. I also love the use of sailor's stories in the movie. Wake is such a bullshitting storyteller that we don't even know if anything happened to his former assistant, which is the crux for him being more than just an old wickie. With how much they project onto one another it was probably just Winslow's guilt since he considers himself a murderer. Long story short this is why work places need to invest more into mental health, a single therapist and this entire story doesn't happen.

The loss of reality hits so hard and fast when you're isolated. Loved this watch

yesss that's what i was looking for!
When you said "filmography?" I think the word you were looking for was cinematography. :)
