Kinda wanna see a cut of this movie that's been put through at least seven crappifying filters and only airs at 3am on TCM. It really feels like a movie out of the 30s, that era of Universal monster movies, and not just because of the aspect ratio and the black and white cinematography. Also, drat, I don't think this is the greatest movie ever (even though I liked it) but Dafoe deserves a nom here. The_Rob posted:The look Dafoe gives after this line is so loving funny. I've been saying 'yer fond of me lobster' everywhere I go for the past day.

I've been a real pervert the last 24 hours since seeing the movie and listening to nothing but sea shanties. Need to ingrain myself as much as humanly possible into 1800s Nautical Culture. https://youtu.be/ZIwzRkjn86w

Apparently they used slow film stock (high contrast b/w stock with very little shadow or highlight leeway on exposure) so the lights are crazy rear end bright in the shots and the actors can barely see each other. or the fact that they barely spoke to each other on set or after, until they finished filming, but both chilled with the crew. the weather alone would make me hate working on this thing, but it musta been hilarious to be a part of.

You know I liked The VVitch pretty well but this honestly leaves it behind. What a show! What a gloriously messy, weird, and crazy time. They capture the grimy drudgery of the situation so well that when things start to go off it's cathartic. Worth it just to see Dafoe and Pattinson square off, of course Willem Dafoe is great, but it's also nice to see Pattinson get to go ham. And not just right away, he builds to it nicely. (There were times he seemed to be channeling Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood but I think that's just the accent.) One of the year's most entertaining films easy.

Yeah, that's obviously the inspiration, but the scene has Winslow crawling looking up and Tom standing over him in an almost Zeus-throwing-a-lightning-bolt olympian pose that was even more imposing and impressive.quote:Robert Eggers: Very cool. I'll say—with shame—that particular shot is a rip-off of a Symbolist painter named Sascha Schneider. It's an image called "Hypnose." My composition is different, but just like it stuck with you, it stuck with me! It seemed appropriate for this story.

This is one of those movies like MOTHER or MANDY or A FIELD IN ENGLAND where I leave in a daze and need a couple days to process. What a bizarre spectacle... As of right now, I think I don't fully get it, but I think I love it the most of any 2019 movie anyway? i don't know??!

This was a very good movie and cements my "oh yeah Robert Pattinson is really good when he's not starring in trash" opinion even if Dafoe chews all the scenery and steals every scene he's in. One thing I really appreciated and provably the biggest 'surprise' was that I expected kind of a standard descent as the isolation and drinking get to them but no we see that each of them is crazy from the very first night, it just comes out more the longer the film goes on.

Pattinson single-handedly made High Life worth watching. Just a single compelling character in a dull, uninspired movie.

Beautiful stuff: a face wreathed in shadow captured on grainy black and white film, made 20ft tall. So many gorgeous frames in this movie. Good God is Willem Dafoe beautiful. In optical science, it's such a spooky paradox that you could coat a lens with some substance and that it would then somehow transmit more light. I thought about that again after seeing The Lighthouse- maybe significant. In any case, I hope this movie makes it's money back and that Jarin Blaschke is recognized.

Just got back from this myself; sat through the credits because I had to get all my giggles out (and because I really dug the credits song, I love sea shanties). OP isn't kidding about how funny it is; I could listen to Willem Dafoe make gloriously unhinged rants all day. I can't really compare it to The Witch (because that's kinda comparing apples and oranges), but it's very, very good and I'm glad I saw it in a theater.

Winslow hits the nail on the head when he call Tom a parody of captain Ahab. Dude's nautical curses are perfection. I have a question about the logbook. Would it still even be readable after floating around in the water for a few hours?. alpha_destroy fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Nov 2, 2019 |

readingatwork posted:I liked this one, it’s a lot of fun. That said, for all it’s symbolism I have no idea what it’s actually trying to say. To put it in the most succinct terms: Winslow's entire problem is that he accurately ascertains that Wake is, like all of his old bosses, just some gibbering old fool who degrades, exploits, and gaslights him while using pretenses of the righteousness of "honest work" in order to make him think that, by accepting his circumstance in this petty hierarchy, that he can someday prove himself worthy of getting to his own transcendent "light" - But, he himself is nonetheless invested in a fantasy where this "light," this obscure object of desire, is actually a tangible thing that will somehow magically emancipate him. The key to the film is to disaggregate Winslow's obvious madness from the fact that he himself is not just a madman. All of this stuff where he, like, envisions that Wake is transformed by the lighthouse into some minor deity is all in his head; but this fantasy in and of itself is not inaccurate so to speak because, in a certain sense, it effectively stands in for the vulgar ways in which even these two objectively beaten down, working class characters find themselves in a kind of microcosmic class hierarchy. Contrast Wake's husbandry with "the light" (the characters literally personify it as feminine), and Winslow out on the rocks loving the much more visceral, vulgar mermaid. In reality, both characters are just masturbating - the fluid that drips through the grates is literally just Wake's semen, not, like, tentacle slime. Similarly, "the light" is literally just a light. So the true madness is not anything to do with Winslow's mounting paranoia or feelings of resentment/emasculation with regards to Wake. That's what's actually happening at both an interpersonal and political level. The mad part isn't even the maritime, mythological terms in which it's represented. The madness is this delusion that both characters share, that "the light" they covet will somehow emancipate them. So the irony becomes that, while Wake is absolutely the antagonist of the film, and Winslow is a tragic hero, the latter's failure to de-personalize his struggle - to make it not about what Wake is denying him, but about what the system is actively doing to them both - means that the former's prophecy, that Winslow will be totally consumed by the sea as this total embodiment of predatory natural order, comes true. Hence, the rather "objective" image of Winslow finally reaching the light and orgasming, only to get weak in the knees and fall to his death vs. the magical realist image of Winslow being splayed out and abject in a completely different place being picked apart by the haunting spirits of the dead (the gulls).
