The lighthouse

I’m probably late to the party but I just watched this one the other night. I’m glad that between movies like the Lighthouse and Midsommer, people are finally starting to make unique, good psychological horror movies.
What a work of art

I really liked The Witch, so I was looking forward to seeing this, but I had trouble getting into it as well..
It looked amazing and the acting was great, but the symbolism felt forced, and in the end, it all seemed like window dressing for an empty story.

I hated The Witch but absolutely loved The Lighthouse. The 2 men’s slow descent into insanity was just great

They had great chemistry, which I did not expect. That was basically the most important part of the movie though. If they didn't, the movie wouldn't be good. It was very very solid though.

The Lighthouse and 1917 were the best movies of 2019

Please expound why, seriously. Maybe I missed something.
I'd consider revisiting this one eventually, but of the people I know who have seen it, they have yet to convince me it's nothing more than a wannabe Bergman flick with nothing to say.

Without ever watching it, I had assumed Pattinson and Defoe were the same man. Is that close?

Damn ye! Let Neptune strike ye dead Winslow! HAAARK!
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!
It's an acquired taste, but Dafoe is funny as hell in this movie to me.

What's it like to be such an intellectual?

It was way too depressing to me. Fine acting and cinematography but I came away from watching that feeling bad. Not my kind of movie I guess.

It was exactly what I want to see in a movie.

Pretentious nonsense. A feeble, muddled, and derivative attempt to fuse black and white formalism with the defiant maritime diction of Melville. Twaddle.
