 There's something in the water Hey guys Let's change this up a little bit here. Ah There we go. This is my review for Lighthouse the latest film directed by Robert Eggers and has a Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson in it This movie weird! Admittedly I knew going into this film that it was going to be a different kind of thriller slash horror movie Experimental sort of film having watched The Witch back in 2015 I enjoyed that movie but something that I liked about it too that you don't see many movies go for is its commitment to the language The movie was based on colonial immigrants in America if I'm correct in the 17th 1700s and the language the English the dialect was Pretty close to what it was back then and the film doesn't hold your hand through that and neither does this one Which admittedly is reason why I definitely am gonna rewatch it with subtitles These two are so committed to their characters. They're so committed to their dialogue that You do get a little lost sometimes, but just how well they Spew it out and how well they keep to these accents. They don't break They don't falter despite the fact that they're absolutely Wasted for a good portion of this movie not just the characters like them themselves You read any of the behind-the-scenes stuff for this movie. It was crazy They were drunk quite a bit of this movie because the film does relate to madness alcohol abuse Isolation and it all encompasses it in this film that is shot in a letterbox like this Which is something that I really enjoyed about this movie because it made it work so well because There's a lot of times you don't even notice it because of how they're shooting it They're usually shooting it either through crates or through boxes or alleyways or Points of view that the only time that you really actually notice the bars is when it's outside It uses this so well the lighting in this film is fantastic for a film That's purely black and white you are so drawn into this island to these guys's tales of madness With how it's shot and I got to applaud them for that the film is definitely taking visual ideal aspects from 1920 silent movies while the story is taking Tibbits here and there from maritime legends and lore and mythology and whatnot and combining the two into this movie That is just it's so weird, but it's so intriguing weird It starts off kind of slow the whole movie is sense is slow You are just drawn in with going what is going on and I enjoyed that thoroughly But admittedly it's not a movie that I'm gonna be like yeah, let's pop this on because it's it's really weird Like I said, there's sometimes dialogue you can't pick up on but the performance is just so good There's times where all of a sudden these guys go from being drunk to being happy to being angry to being sorrowful about each other To the point where they burst into monologues and you don't even realize it until about half a minute in you're like wow This is a pretty good monologue to foe has a few Pattinson has a few I Really enjoyed these two just seeing these two characters on screen Was enthralling and that's hard to do when you have just two people in a movie And the movie just screws with you throughout the entire time to the point where you are just beyond lost I've been thinking about it ever since I saw it yesterday and I keep on wondering what this meant How does that interpret there's some things that definitely I'm gonna need to watch some videos on to explain what's happened There's probably about a billion lighthouse a ending explained out there now I'm waiting for the let me explain guys because those guys have been pretty thorough But otherwise I enjoyed this movie. It's definitely not for everyone. Hell. No, it's not for everyone It's not a movie that you're gonna be like hmm. Let's just go and watch this There's definitely a few people in that theater who were like what the hell am I watching? And I don't blame them because that's the kind of movie that Robert Eggers makes but in the end I'm going to give the lighthouse a 5 out of 7 It's definitely gonna probably be in my top 10 for the year for sure Just because of how much of a new experience it is how different it is from what you're used to and the acting the acting in This movie is fantastic But anyways guys, I hope you enjoyed this review if you did leave a like and if you're interested in more Maybe subscribe.
