You can see he believes so fervently in this curse that by the end he even begins to show regret... maybe pity... for the fate he's bestowed upon Winslow. Dafoe truly captures madness in his performance, and it's amazing to watch
Did Tom cause the death of Winslow by cursing him here in this scene?? Also, do you mind explaining the ending? Would love to know your interpretation.
@@Jpro2000 exactly, Neptune has a giant trident and a titan meanwhile Cthulhu is a massive hybrid ancient god destined to bring the world doom whats the difference?
Same as i ! I suggested this movie to my cousin and her bf but they got bored, hardly watched the beginning of it. Had a similar reaction like Dafoe on purpose, add to that my beard and beanie! She was like "You've lost it completely ?" O.o >:)
I was terrified of his anger towards Ephraim the whole time he made the speech. You feel his anger and know that he's really offended even if I partially understand what he was saying. The eyes that he was giving Ephraim is what made me feel his emotions.
And you'd think a veteran like Dafoe, must be well-connected with the powers that be behind the academies by now. Guess not quite up the food chain.. Aye old man?
Not even joking, I was frozen in my seat when Willem Dafoe did this monologue. The way he described Triton and the Sea itself was like on the level of a Cosmic horror; something that makes you so terrified that you can’t even comprehend what’s happening. Even the look on Thomas Wake’s face near the end of his monologue looks genuinely shook by what he describes. That’s what horror does to you. Brilliant acting and should have won an Oscar for that!
If someone irl started screamijg that shit to me outside the bar. Id apologise too. Either his curse is real or hes about to bite your face. Either way, apologise
No one probably will know what I’m talking about but I remember seeing this bible movie about Abraham when I was little. The lighting makes Dafoe’s face look like the puppets used for that movie. Pretty incredible Link for reference: ruclips.net/video/BbPJgVWPpPM/видео.html
I showed this movie to my dad and cousin and they both had the same thing to say after. "It was an amazing movie with unbelievable acting...and I never want to go through that again. "

I remember giving a homeless man some change in Philadelphia once. He was so grateful that he wanted to shake my hand. I didn't want to be rude, so I shook his hand. As we stood there shaking hands, a young couple passed by. Without letting go of my hand, he asked them for anything they could spare. They ignored him and he immediately started threatening to beat the shit out of them both. Then he turned back to me, remembered me, and proceeded to thank me all over again. Then someone else passed by, ignoring his pleas for spare change. He threatened to literally murder him, still not letting go of my hand. This went on for at least ten minutes. He would see someone, ask them for money, called down all manner of fire and brimstone upon them when they didn't acknowledge him, then turn back to me and start thanking me all over again. He never let go of my fucking hand and I felt like I couldn't suddenly be rude and try to pull away because I was basically tethered to him and in striking distance. It was the most uncomfortable experience of my life. I have stories about homeless people in New Orleans, too, but NOLA bums are actually kind of fun to be around.

I like how when he gets to the "forgotten to any man..." part of the curse, He starts to regret doing the curse on Winslow. Like "oh my god...what have I done?"
I feel bad for how long people shat on Robert Pattinson while he was only known for Twilight, because he’s actually an amazing actor and he was so good in this film
I wasn't a fan of his because of those film's and a few others he did afterwards. But I'm starting to see a genuine effort on his part. He really does seem to be trying to perfect his craft.
He’s actually my favourite actor working today, I always shat on the guy for twilight but after seeing him in “The Rover” I knew he was super talented. Plus ever since that movie he’s been consistently giving top notch performances in all the films he works on.
He doesn’t blink once during his curse, it’s like he is compelled by a foreign force to finish the curse, and he is content and confident at the start fueled by wrath and aggravation, but is almost repentant towards the end as the gravity of his own words hits him leaving him in shocked horror of the curse he’s just given.
I remember an interview with Anthony Hopkins speaking about small things that really drive home the essence of insanity in a character and he said not blinking was one things he tried to do with Hannibal Lecter.. I immediately thought of this when Dafoe was doing this scene.
Incredible. The writing, setting, lighting and performances. A masterclass in crossing bridges and playing with script to produce its most potent energy. ❤
There was only ONE movie theatre in my area that had this when it came out and it only played a couple times a day and it was during when i was working. I REALLY wanted to see this in a theatre
So much praise has been given to the acting, the cinematography, the directing, and the legendary script that I needn’t add anything here. I’ll just say that for those who love to listen to Willem Dafoe, considering listening to his reading of Poe’s The Raven. It appears on a Lou Reed album. He is the perfect man for the job! If only he did the complete works of Poe or Lovecraft.
You can feel it in that first "HARK" that my mans legit summoned the wrath of both Neptune and his son just because Winslow didn't say that he liked his lobster
@@ernstthalmann4306 "Am I saying these characters are gay? No. I'm not saying they're not either. Forget about complexities of human sexuality or their particular inclinations. I'm more about questions than answers in this movie." Don't try to simplify what Eggers meant by making this movie.
I started watching this clip, then I watched the movie for the first time. Holy shit, what a mind fuck. First off, Willem Dafoe is one of the greatest actors alive. His performance is, quite frankly, unbelievable. It was said by the director that during this monologue where he curses "Ephraim" he didn't blink for TWO MINUTES. Then of course later on in the movie where he's being buried alive (spoilers, sorry) he is delivering another monologue of sorts while simultaneously having real dirt shoveled onto him. Much of it gets into his mouth and some almost in his eyes, and he KEEPS GOING ANYWAY. This guy isn't afraid of doing anything to give everything to the role. That's not to discredit Robert Pattinson either. I had kind of written him off as just a hacky actor who would peak at Twilight and then fade back into obscurity. Holy fuck was I wrong. His portrayal of a man with a dark past who gradually slips into alcoholic madness is phenomenal. It's like a great song or something that starts out slowly and concludes with a powerful chorus that brings it all together. The movie is damn near perfect in every regard. Another interesting thing about this movie is that they really were filming on an island. Well, the exterior scenes anyway. They really were getting pummeled with rain and waves and the conditions were reportedly "miserable" and "exhausting" to the two principal actors in the film. It was also said that Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe basically didn't speak to each other at all until after they were done filming. They were just the characters to each other and it probably resulted in a better film for it. This is the kind of movie that college courses will likely revolve around because of how deep it truly is. For people who don't know, it's basically a tragedy told in the Greek tradition and the beauty is in how many different ways you can interpret it. Neither one of the two main characters was being truthful with each other, the entire time. Some people even think the entire thing was a hallucination, with Robert Pattinson actually being both of the characters at the same time (they're both truly named Thomas for example) and he's simply torturing himself as an old man for failing as a younger man. I think I like that interpretation the best, because then you understand that it's basically a movie about a man who has deceived himself his entire life and by the time he realizes it, it's too late.
Agreed. I watched this movie a few days ago, not expecting much. But my god, it was fantastic. This scene was definitely the highlight of this already amazing movie. Very overlooked movie that deserves far more attention. Definitely in my top 5 movies.
@@westonstevens3239 not just insane, at this point they're stranded without supplies and aware that they might die out here, Wake and Winslow don't know or really trust each other and they each take separate shifts, but the only time they really interact as "equals" is at dinner time when they eat together and make a toast. This film is all about power, and one of the few times when Winslow actually holds any emotional power over Wake is this scene, most of what Wake says throughout the entire film is lies, but his cooking isn't "deliberately" bad, Winslow is genuinely insulting something about him. The rest of the film its Wake who holds power over Winslow, he won't let him see the Light, he makes him do the menial jobs, he drops him when they're painting and doesn't help him, he writes him a poor report in his log book, he calls him a dog and orders him about. But here Winslow has the power for the first time, and Wake responds to it by calling upon his unholy sea god patron. From this point onwards Wake isn't just Wake, but a vessel and conduit for the Sea-King. Prior to this point Wake seems to know of the Siren but doesn't interact with her, after this point during the fight Wake even momentarily becomes the Siren, which I think symbolises that he isn't just "Wake" anymore but a living vessel for the Sea-King.
@@sco7642 wake only had 2 monologues like _this_ . Winslow was intoxicated during both which is important. Winslow is hallucinating the whole time and tom is just a grumpy lighthouse keeper. His speech never happened and the storm was a coincidence. Everything winslow saw is an exaggeration of what is going on. Thats is my take, but i like yours and will re watch again because i like that the film was not specific about it
I love this movie so much. And Willem Dafoe's performance is breathtaking. A24 offers us an original and ambitious independent cinema and it reassures me to see that there is an audience to appreciate its quality.
MCVessels I was thinking the same thing. Definitely reminds me of Ahab’s speeches. And then, since Melville was so influenced by Shakespeare, the dual comparison makes sense.
The composition of this scene, the claustrophobic atmosphere, and Defoe’s overthetop manic monologue all combine to recreate the exact vibe of an old German expressionist film. Think Cabinet of Dr Caligari or The Man Who Laughs - Amazing!
This was the first movie I have watched in months, I usually am a twitch and youtube only guy. This movie reminds me of my dear friends, some who are lost now may God rest there souls. We would often find movies like this back in the late 90's early 2000's and worry them to death. This is... needless to say... a true masterpiece of the genre. Willem Dafoe has impressed me since his time in Boondock Saints on just about every level, I knew he would be fantastic. It was Patterson who really blew me away this time... what an actor.
@@mirceadacialorantbrescia4340 I would label this as arthouse horror, which I love, but which is much more subtle than the usual blockbuster horror genre. Other examples are things like The Witch, or Hereditary, or The Wind, etc. They're different brands of horror for sure.
Dafoe really is outstanding!!! A truly phenomenal actor! I was completely roped in to what he was ranting on about and I've never held eye contact with anybody longer than William Dafoe in this one scene! I absolutely LOVE and RESPECT how he not only NAILED the monologue out of the park, but he NEVER blinked NOT once during this 2 min sequence! Truly impressive work by a very deserving actor!!! Very pleased to see he got his name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame recently! 👏👏👏👏👏
I swear to god when I saw it in the theater it was one of the foghorn blasts but I must've Mandela effected myself because every other time it's been the thunderclap.
When William Defoe started his speech I remember physically pulling myself away from the screen. My partner told me my eyes where wide open the whole time . I've never been effected by a film like that before.
This movie opened my eyes on how good an actor Robert is I would always label him as the twilight dude but man I've seen his work and he's fucking good
Do you really want to cross him after that? I know he tries to kill him later but if Winslow didn’t say he liked it I’m convinced that he was gonna get gutted right there.
@@steektete maybe even if it’s not black and white having all the set dressing be dimmed and neutral colors would still hopefully create a similar result
Two years later and I’m still absolutely dumbfounded how Willem Dafoe didn’t receive an Oscar nomination for this performance. This scene alone should have earned him the nom.
I always have the theory in mind that the old light house keeper is his guilty conscience. And after the incident with the tree cutting he fled to the lighthouse to hide from the authority's and killed the current lighthouse keeper in a paranoid dillusion of him being reported to the authority's by him. And then dumped the body in the water supply and it sours the water but refuses to come to terms with the fact he is a mad man killer so instead sees a seagull decaying instead. And to further add to the theory when the old lighthouse keeper says "dont leave me!" It's his guilty conscience reminding him to not abandon his self imposed punishment. And why the tender never comes to pick them up is because it never existed in the first place he stole the small boat from the mainland and sailed there and destroyed it in act to stop from ever being rejoined with society on the mainland because he doesn't deserve it. And you would think the old lighthouse keepers second would of maintained the lighthouse but didn't it's in a state of disrepair because he's actually the only one there besides the current keeper and no one has been there in quite sometime besides the young Tommy...hence why you never see a single boat If I remember correctly...beside the alleged boat that brought him there. And also the old lighthouse keeper is never truly drunk it's like he's acting just to get the truth from him to admit what he's done and when he finally admits his act says "Why'd you spill the beans Tommy why" to finally conclude he is insane. And somehow comes to the conclusion the lighthouse light has some significant meaning but it's just a normal light....and shocked by his dillusion act of murder on another person screams realising he truly is a madman and it was all for nothing. And the act of seeing a siren or mermaid is his lust of never knowing a woman's warmth again but only his own....he carved that mermaid trinket from wood when he chopped a tree down in his wish to escape his current situation during woodcutting...and comes to the conclusion even a man would satisfy his lust and fights himself over the fact. May just be a theory but that's how I viewed it lol.
Patterson is underrated yes, Dafoe NO! Every „Cinema-goer“ appreciates his work. Not to mention all the young fans and Reddit users from his performance as Norman Osborn in Spider-Man.
I never understood why people keep saying things to be underrated, when they clearly are not. Is it just bad phrasing or an attempt to make oneself seem more wiser than others?

It's the ending that kills me.
"Alright, have it your way. I like your cooking."
The reaction from dafoe when he is originally shocked he doesn’t like his cooking and that ending line from Pattinson always give me a good chuckle

I have this suspicion that Patterson didn't even know what was coming. He just expected Willem to get mad, but boy did he curse his very body.

He’s actually my favourite actor working today, I always shat on the guy for twilight but after seeing him in “The Rover” I knew he was super talented. Plus ever since that movie he’s been consistently giving top notch performances in all the films he works on.
He is a brilliant actor. I hate the twilight series, but everything else he has been in has been stellar.
seeing robs performance in Good Time was the turning point for me, and ive been following his work ever since
Shat on him??? Good God I hope no one Shat on him
If I became president this monologue would be my inaugural speech
I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as hard in a theater as I did when he said, “You don’t like me cooking?”
He doesn’t blink once during his curse, it’s like he is compelled by a foreign force to finish the curse, and he is content and confident at the start fueled by wrath and aggravation, but is almost repentant towards the end as the gravity of his own words hits him leaving him in shocked horror of the curse he’s just given.
Exactly. Once he hits the "forgotten" lines, he almost seems sad, but it's like he's being driven to finish it.
Exactly. That alone should've won Dafoe the award. Incredible, once in a lifetime performance here!
I remember an interview with Anthony Hopkins speaking about small things that really drive home the essence of insanity in a character and he said not blinking was one things he tried to do with Hannibal Lecter.. I immediately thought of this when Dafoe was doing this scene.
he does, but it's subtle
@@LCS123 When a serious character doesn't blink, it's ruined for me because it reminds me of Large Marge.

I'll absolutely never forget seeing this in theaters
You guys are lucky to see this in theatres, my country (Chile) never showed this movie on their theatres, which really dissapointed me.
There was only ONE movie theatre in my area that had this when it came out and it only played a couple times a day and it was during when i was working. I REALLY wanted to see this in a theatre
This was the last movie I saw in theaters until I saw Green Knight yesterday.
My friend and I went to see it and didn’t really know what to expect but we were absolutely blown away by this movie
Hey Charlie, I am also still thinking about this movie over a year later.
So much praise has been given to the acting, the cinematography, the directing, and the legendary script that I needn’t add anything here. I’ll just say that for those who love to listen to Willem Dafoe, considering listening to his reading of Poe’s The Raven. It appears on a Lou Reed album. He is the perfect man for the job! If only he did the complete works of Poe or Lovecraft.
The dialogue was truly art. The story was an absolute tweak.
"Sir, this is a Wendy's."
“HAAAAAAAARRRRRKKK!”
this kills me everytime
I read that in JonTron's voice lol
LMAO
Hark haaaark
You can feel it in that first "HARK" that my mans legit summoned the wrath of both Neptune and his son just because Winslow didn't say that he liked his lobster
Yep, his "lobster"
Eggers said it's meant to be a sexual double meaning. The film is about a homoerotic relationship.
@@ernstthalmann4306 "Am I saying these characters are gay? No. I'm not saying they're not either. Forget about complexities of human sexuality or their particular inclinations. I'm more about questions than answers in this movie."
Don't try to simplify what Eggers meant by making this movie.

Green Goblin & The Batman in a B&W Movie Together. Nice!!!
I started watching this clip, then I watched the movie for the first time. Holy shit, what a mind fuck.
First off, Willem Dafoe is one of the greatest actors alive. His performance is, quite frankly, unbelievable. It was said by the director that during this monologue where he curses "Ephraim" he didn't blink for TWO MINUTES. Then of course later on in the movie where he's being buried alive (spoilers, sorry) he is delivering another monologue of sorts while simultaneously having real dirt shoveled onto him. Much of it gets into his mouth and some almost in his eyes, and he KEEPS GOING ANYWAY. This guy isn't afraid of doing anything to give everything to the role.
That's not to discredit Robert Pattinson either. I had kind of written him off as just a hacky actor who would peak at Twilight and then fade back into obscurity. Holy fuck was I wrong. His portrayal of a man with a dark past who gradually slips into alcoholic madness is phenomenal. It's like a great song or something that starts out slowly and concludes with a powerful chorus that brings it all together. The movie is damn near perfect in every regard.
Another interesting thing about this movie is that they really were filming on an island. Well, the exterior scenes anyway. They really were getting pummeled with rain and waves and the conditions were reportedly "miserable" and "exhausting" to the two principal actors in the film. It was also said that Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe basically didn't speak to each other at all until after they were done filming. They were just the characters to each other and it probably resulted in a better film for it.
This is the kind of movie that college courses will likely revolve around because of how deep it truly is. For people who don't know, it's basically a tragedy told in the Greek tradition and the beauty is in how many different ways you can interpret it. Neither one of the two main characters was being truthful with each other, the entire time. Some people even think the entire thing was a hallucination, with Robert Pattinson actually being both of the characters at the same time (they're both truly named Thomas for example) and he's simply torturing himself as an old man for failing as a younger man. I think I like that interpretation the best, because then you understand that it's basically a movie about a man who has deceived himself his entire life and by the time he realizes it, it's too late.
Agreed. I watched this movie a few days ago, not expecting much. But my god, it was fantastic. This scene was definitely the highlight of this already amazing movie. Very overlooked movie that deserves far more attention. Definitely in my top 5 movies.
All that monologue because he didn’t like his cooking.
isnt something that small If you Live in a shitty place like this, where the pleasure is almost zero.
Well the idea is they have both gone insane.
@@westonstevens3239 not just insane, at this point they're stranded without supplies and aware that they might die out here, Wake and Winslow don't know or really trust each other and they each take separate shifts, but the only time they really interact as "equals" is at dinner time when they eat together and make a toast.
This film is all about power, and one of the few times when Winslow actually holds any emotional power over Wake is this scene, most of what Wake says throughout the entire film is lies, but his cooking isn't "deliberately" bad, Winslow is genuinely insulting something about him. The rest of the film its Wake who holds power over Winslow, he won't let him see the Light, he makes him do the menial jobs, he drops him when they're painting and doesn't help him, he writes him a poor report in his log book, he calls him a dog and orders him about.
But here Winslow has the power for the first time, and Wake responds to it by calling upon his unholy sea god patron. From this point onwards Wake isn't just Wake, but a vessel and conduit for the Sea-King. Prior to this point Wake seems to know of the Siren but doesn't interact with her, after this point during the fight Wake even momentarily becomes the Siren, which I think symbolises that he isn't just "Wake" anymore but a living vessel for the Sea-King.
@@sco7642 What a nice mythological analysis. Thumbs up
@@sco7642 wake only had 2 monologues like _this_ . Winslow was intoxicated during both which is important. Winslow is hallucinating the whole time and tom is just a grumpy lighthouse keeper. His speech never happened and the storm was a coincidence.
Everything winslow saw is an exaggeration of what is going on. Thats is my take, but i like yours and will re watch again because i like that the film was not specific about it

I love this movie so much. And Willem Dafoe's performance is breathtaking. A24 offers us an original and ambitious independent cinema and it reassures me to see that there is an audience to appreciate its quality.
This monologue - and Dafoe's delivery of it - are absolutely Shakespearean.
Melvillian!
MCVessels I was thinking the same thing. Definitely reminds me of Ahab’s speeches. And then, since Melville was so influenced by Shakespeare, the dual comparison makes sense.
@@ChuckyMarks Captain Ahab is also mentioned by Ephraim/Tom in the movie - which is obviously calculated. =)
Daniel Winter I always love the melange of references and influences he pulls from for his movies.
Diamanda Galás-esque, even, as if he was reciting her songs
To think insulting someone's cooking led to one of the most epic monologues in movie history is mindboggling.
And yet, somehow, William DaFoe (or Robert Pattenson) aren’t nominated for Best Actor
BigK13372 they are in our hearts 💔
Gave me the deepest chills
The composition of this scene, the claustrophobic atmosphere, and Defoe’s overthetop manic monologue all combine to recreate the exact vibe of an old German expressionist film. Think Cabinet of Dr Caligari or The Man Who Laughs - Amazing!
Green Goblin and Batman have an heated argument about cooking
Not even a golden globe nomination. That’s bullshit. Robert blew me away just as much as Dafoe did. Let’s hope they get those Oscar noms.

This was the first movie I have watched in months, I usually am a twitch and youtube only guy. This movie reminds me of my dear friends, some who are lost now may God rest there souls. We would often find movies like this back in the late 90's early 2000's and worry them to death. This is... needless to say... a true masterpiece of the genre. Willem Dafoe has impressed me since his time in Boondock Saints on just about every level, I knew he would be fantastic. It was Patterson who really blew me away this time... what an actor.

Everything about this film is a masterpiece. Dafoe and Patterson are both underrated actors.
I always have the theory in mind that the old light house keeper is his guilty conscience.
And after the incident with the tree cutting he fled to the lighthouse to hide from the authority's and killed the current lighthouse keeper in a paranoid dillusion of him being reported to the authority's by him.
And then dumped the body in the water supply and it sours the water but refuses to come to terms with the fact he is a mad man killer so instead sees a seagull decaying instead.
And to further add to the theory when the old lighthouse keeper says "dont leave me!" It's his guilty conscience reminding him to not abandon his self imposed punishment.
And why the tender never comes to pick them up is because it never existed in the first place he stole the small boat from the mainland and sailed there and destroyed it in act to stop from ever being rejoined with society on the mainland because he doesn't deserve it.
And you would think the old lighthouse keepers second would of maintained the lighthouse but didn't it's in a state of disrepair because he's actually the only one there besides the current keeper and no one has been there in quite sometime besides the young Tommy...hence why you never see a single boat If I remember correctly...beside the alleged boat that brought him there.
And also the old lighthouse keeper is never truly drunk it's like he's acting just to get the truth from him to admit what he's done and when he finally admits his act says "Why'd you spill the beans Tommy why" to finally conclude he is insane.
And somehow comes to the conclusion the lighthouse light has some significant meaning but it's just a normal light....and shocked by his dillusion act of murder on another person screams realising he truly is a madman and it was all for nothing.
And the act of seeing a siren or mermaid is his lust of never knowing a woman's warmth again but only his own....he carved that mermaid trinket from wood when he chopped a tree down in his wish to escape his current situation during woodcutting...and comes to the conclusion even a man would satisfy his lust and fights himself over the fact.
May just be a theory but that's how I viewed it lol.
Patterson is underrated yes, Dafoe NO! Every „Cinema-goer“ appreciates his work. Not to mention all the young fans and Reddit users from his performance as Norman Osborn in Spider-Man.
Dafoe’s been nominated for four Academy Awards. Hardly underrated
* pattinson
I never understood why people keep saying things to be underrated, when they clearly are not. Is it just bad phrasing or an attempt to make oneself seem more wiser than others?
The most egregious Oscar snub I can think of. Willem deserved Best Supporting Actor by a mile.
Amazing film! Gonna have to see it again soon enough.
