@@DaedalusR Well, i live in Britain and here not many people use it, though i have heard some people use it. What i mean is that it needs to be a common word haha
Yeah man, it's just unbelievable that they weren't even nominated. Both Dafoe's and Pattinson's performances are some of the best I've ever seen in a movie.
"Fix us up some coffee. Long night ahead. Drop o' coffee do us good..." Me and another guy reference this movie often. Whenever we do 16 hour shifts and it's late at night, we drop that line as soon as we get stir crazy or mad tired.
I remember when I used to work around the clock and then some. 30 hour shifts. The Maddening, is what we called them shifts. I used to bang up speed around hour 24 and so did my other guy. We danced in the night... Oh how we froliced in the cold moonlight... That was before them laws banning over 16 hour shifts at the day care center. The children were entranced with our monologues in the early hours of the second day of the shift.. I can still see their eyes, glistening, hanging on to my slurred words. Their mouths saying: "please, let us go bad man". But we werent bad, we was just doin our job
3:25 The way Dafoe's entire self suddenly embodies shame is pretty incredible. And then 3:50 could be a painting; such a perfect visual representation of the shame of the perpetrator and the indignation of the offended.
Pattinson's shadow at 3:24 is crooked, the head bent more to the side in an animalistic, aggressive manner than he's actually standing. That's what Defoe is reacting to.
he does the same dominant stance after he nearly kills Thomas. After a rewatch I thought Thomas knew what would happen as if they’d been on an endless loop in purgatory.
I actually love black and white films it gives it that certain vibe of gloom and daunting atmosphere it can really set the tone and everything for a film I actually studied film for a few months I was never able to complete it got really difficult but I Wana do it again someday or maybe a lower qualification
Depends what tone of color and editing, because in the end we can see the color of the mermaids tail and the blood at the end, it could be a 'Wizard of Oz' color tone.
After seeing this scene for the first time I wondered why dafoe reacted to winslow the way he did, after he slapped him. Then I looked more closely at pattinson's shadow. Huge, pitch black, and stretching high above both of them, to the roof. The angle of the roof makes it look like the shadows head is cocked, in either a mad or violent pose. It's like a characterization of winslow's inner rage, and his capacity to commit violence. And dafoe recognized that, perhaps in that moment he knew he would die by winslow's hand?
I dont think it was really meant to symbolize anything but to look erie. I do love how atmospheric that scene is. After getting slapped Pattinson stands there silently with his fists balled up. Dafoe in order to ease tension says to make coffee because it would be a long night for them. Then cut to a wide shot in the cold and dark room. I love it.
dafoe's reaction does seem like he is fearing for his life. im not convinced it's patinsons shadow specifically, but it certainly adds atmosphere. it might just be his recognition of patinson as an adversary that will not listen to him, and what that will entail.
Robert Pattinson deserves his role in this amazing movie after having to suffer through being in Twilight. He really shines with Willem Dafoe every moment he’s on screen
Lol Robert Pattinson was ALWAYS a FANTASTIC actor even before than due to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire with his fantastic performance as Cedric entirely so to one of the PEAKS of his career as establishing himself as the BEST Batman ever made! He was ALWAYS a magnificent actor, even with those twilight movies out as those movies existing were NOT his fault at all.
That would be correct for early American English - especially in seafaring communities where this kind of dialect still lingers in isolated patches today.
@Absolutely Dreadful We all agree the Oscar's suck but it's still important for people like Robert Eggers to win so he can keep making the movies he want.
Lamont Myrick I know, fucking hell what performances from both men, when I saw the bleak seriousness of each characters in the trailer and poster I knew both defo and pattinson would blow it out the water, pattinson really gained a fan from me after this,
It's all for publicity stunts and if they don't give it a women or person if colour they are labelled a sexist or racist. Where it should never fucking matter stupid dipshits. It's about the talent and it's on show here shame the dipshits can't recognise it
GuamoKun Jesus fucking Christ, you don’t have to be a fucking ass about this. He’s just making a point the Wes Anderson’s movies are more bright and color compared to this. This and his movies are both great for what they are. Don’t act like a snarky ass about this.
They dont mention none of these two for Oscars, but they are buzzing about Robert Downey Jr for zapping lasers, rockets and snapping his fingers at the big buff purple alien guy.. Oh, Oscars.
Raziel RDJ did a fantastic job in Endgame. And I agree with you both these fine men deserve to be nominated but Dafoe is actually getting some Oscar buzz.
@@gengar807 see this is the problem, people thinking people deserve Oscar's based off of how long or hard they worked rather than the "work" they produce
The most popular take is that both Thomas Wake and the lighthouse are a part of Winslows purgatory. He killed a man and therefore is in purgatory, maybe he had the ability to repent himself but ultimately he killed the seagull which proved he was not worthy and led to everything that happened right up until the ending. Winslow reaches for the light, for God if you will, but gets thrown down the staircase. All the way to hell and is left there to suffer permanently (getting his guts pecked by the gulls). Of course it's just an interpretation, but to me it's the coolest one.
Good take on the film, I think William Defoe's character is fearful of anyone killing the seabirds as he is convinced they are dead sailors reincarnated, unusual for reincarnation as a human can ever only reincarnate as another human, according to most intrepretations. This could tie into your take of him being dead and in Purgatory as well, The mermaid could also be an existent entity in the film.
Robert Eggars is the master of artfully crafted, historicly accurate dialogue. I fail to see how any director who writes dialogue as well as him. The screenplays for both The Witch and The Lighthouse were so beautifully subversive and rich. He truly is the greatest writer in Holloywood at the moment.
@@mrglass9652 It's not that they're trying to destroy cinema or anything, they're just trying to take up all the space they can until only their films fit in big theatres. Hypothetically, the MCU could all be objective, boundary pushing masterpieces, and they'd still be trying to push away anything that isn't their own IP.
Something I love about this scene after Wake slaps Thomas ,you can see Thomas's ready to slug him , Wake realises he's pushed the wrong button's and gives ah "Oh Crap" look. He's visibly terrified of this young man he initially thought was a push over . He then weakly tries to diffuse the situation by asking Thomas to make them coffee because they've got a long night ahead of them. The added touch of him trying to eat yet it sloppily dropping out of his mouth as he's clearly uneasy and panicking is a nice touch by Willem Dafoe . It's a cross between him being too scared to square up to Thomas and stick by his guns, and being too macho to apologise out loud.
Also note the reaction shot of Winslow at 3:23 and how it focuses on his shadow. If you look closely, Winslow's stance does not match up with his shadows, the latter having a much more deranged and unnatural pose with crooked shoulders and a torqued neck. This may be part of the reason that Wake becomes so intimidated.
aint they supposed to have alternating shifts, one sleeps while other tends the light, how come he can fix coffee for both of em if only one will be awake through the long night
After Wake slaps him, Winslow's shadow looms in a way that resembles several amazing things. The center of the shadow grows markedly darker, due to the brilliant contrast techniques they used, and the shadow suddenly resembles a massive pupil (like a giant squid or whale's) and the sight you are met with when you are underwater, at night, looking downward into deep water. If you've ever experienced either of these firsthand, as Wake likely had during some stormy journey, you might also be struck by primal, lip-quivering fear. No air to breathe. Nothing to grab on to. Nothing to feel but fear, cold, and pain. The great unknown, given shape. You open your eyes and try to discern where the surface might be, saltwater be damned, and you see nothing but pitched darkness. A flash of lightning illuminates the night sky for a brief second, and suddenly you're not alone, as an eyeball the size of your vision invites your brain to start reeling in sheer panic. "Pay me no mind..." prayed Thomas Wake, averting his eyes. When he struck Winslow, Wake slipped. He went overboard. Not just figuratively, but metaphorically. Wake went overboard, suddenly plunging into the deep end of Winslow's past. He realizes he's bitten off more than he can chew as Winslow's shadow becomes the only thing he fears, the seemingly bottomless abyss of the sea. He reflexively begins to gasp for air as his throat becomes numb, food tumbling out of his mouth like precious air bubbles would if he were drowning. "If you gaze upon the abyss, the abyss gazes upon you." ~ F. Nietzsche
It's a psychological horror movie about their mental deterioration when stranded on an island. It's supposed to be a creative take on Edgar Allen Poe's final poem about a lighthouse which was never finished.
So weird you said so. I watched this film and read that poem and drank a bottle of brandy all in the same day. Terrifying experience never to be repeated
I've said this before but Ill say it again, the Oscars doesn't mean anything it's an overrated award , these two did an amazing job at this movie and everyone knows that, no need to make this movie more mainstream as it's a masterpiece the way it is
At the same Independent Spirit Awards show that Willem Defoe got best male support, Adam Sandler summed it up best in his speech for winning best male lead: "A few weeks back when I was quote-unquote snubbed by the Academy, it reminded me when I briefly attended high school and was overlooked for the coveted yearbook superlative category 'Best Looking.' That accolade was given to a jean-jacket-wearing feathered hair douchebag by the name of Skipper Jenkins. But my classmates did honor me with the allegedly less prestigious designation of 'Best Personality.' And tonight as I look around this room I realize the Independent Spirit Awards are the best personality awards of Hollywood. So then let all those feather-haired douchebag motherfuckers get their Oscars tomorrow night. Their handsome good looks will fade in time, while our independent personalities will shine on forever!"
I believe this movie to be a repeating continuous hell for both men which is why Wake was so afraid here.He returned to sanity for that brief moment and remembered just what was going on. I think hes aware this whole time and his last wiki he keeps referring to was always Thomas.
That film was such the best in 2019. I don’t understand why it didn’t get recognized for best film, editing, CINEMATOGRAPHY and for Acting my god… that was undeniably the greatest cinema lesson we got from Eggers.
God's this movie is art. The shadow of the man who was struck how it looms over the two of them, kept restrained for too long it begins to grow restless and angry, so angry.
Its almost like he wanted him to believe him about the light -and then he didnt believe him about the bird til he went and killed 1 - then it made the light all the more enticing
It’s scary to look at it through again and notice how his shadow is very dark and looms over with a crooked neck giving that evil feel and energy.. and how Willem’s guy is petrified by it as it shows his mouth quivers in fear. really is terrifying in that way.
I think of this scene whenever I spot a seagull now..... and I think, THAT is what makes a great movie. When it leaves a little piece of it in you; when your mind recalls a scene or phrase from the film when you're just out living your life. It leaves an impact, however small

the purgatory thing might be a reach but the two scenes definitely intentionally parallel each other

So then let all those feather-haired douchebag motherfuckers get their Oscars tomorrow night. Their handsome good looks will fade in time, while our independent personalities will shine on forever!"
I haven’t actually seen a film in years that I thought was genuinely good and kept me focused the whole time
Willem Dafoe is such an amazing actor.. truly one of the great of the greats. wow.
Bad cooking or not, these dinner scenes make me hungry. Something about the way they fidget with their forks and knives...
idk but it looks delicious tho.. reminds me of half assed potatoes, onion and chopped bacon in a pan i would make after work
Dafoe gives his best performance ever in this movie! I could rewatch it again and again and again and see new things about it every time.
Look at pattinsons shadow, when he stands up, after dafoe slapped him
jeff knudsen A lot of neat and purposeful lighting in this movie!
I like this new remake for the misadventures of flapjack
If he wanted to, Defoe could be the sweetest Santa. But there's always the constant risk of him suddenly turning it into a nightmare for giggles.
“More tall tales” 🍵💥
"Should pale death with treble dread
Make the ocean caves our bed,
God who hear'st the surges roll,
Deign to save our suppliant soul."
I believe this movie to be a repeating continuous hell for both men which is why Wake was so afraid here.He returned to sanity for that brief moment and remembered just what was going on. I think hes aware this whole time and his last wiki he keeps referring to was always Thomas.
bad luck to kill a spider too. i'll not do it ever.
That film was such the best in 2019. I don’t understand why it didn’t get recognized for best film, editing, CINEMATOGRAPHY and for Acting my god… that was undeniably the greatest cinema lesson we got from Eggers.
God's this movie is art. The shadow of the man who was struck how it looms over the two of them, kept restrained for too long it begins to grow restless and angry, so angry.
I hope Defoe at least gets an oscar nom...how brilliant...and nails the accent
Dafoe as Thomas Wake is one of my favourite acting roles ever. I can't get enough of it.
Watched this scene so many times and its still timeless
That slap takes me out every time 😂😂
😂😂😂 same lmao
These guys -- both of them -- were AMAZING!!!
I love the banter, and I'm grateful for the subtitling
This is the greatest acting of all time ... how didn't Dafoe get a nomination ......
"Fortnite" - Willem Dafoe 0:36
Its almost like he wanted him to believe him about the light -and then he didnt believe him about the bird til he went and killed 1 - then it made the light all the more enticing
Women seeing someone they know at the supermarket: "nows the time for gab and chatter"
My favorite part of the video is when Green Goblin just casually smacks Batman upside the head for talking back
Watching this scene for the 2nd time makes the movie much more understandable I have to say. Everything you see afterwards makes more sense now.
How to get away with slapping the shit out of someone.
“Pay me no mind lad!”
Will Smith should have used that
@@brackishnz Now I'm just imagining Wake screaming "KEEP MY WIFE"S NAME OUT YO FUCKING MOUTH!!!"
Dafoe to the Academy
*”Yer fond on me actin’ ain’t ye? I seen it. Yer fond of me actin’”*
love how annoyed winslow looks when he says the same stupid toast again
The toast is bad arse
0:36
It’s scary to look at it through again and notice how his shadow is very dark and looms over with a crooked neck giving that evil feel and energy.. and how Willem’s guy is petrified by it as it shows his mouth quivers in fear. really is terrifying in that way.
The only medicine is drink lmao
Honestly people underestimate what boredom can do to a mind
The way he just cracks him is halarious
I think of this scene whenever I spot a seagull now..... and I think, THAT is what makes a great movie. When it leaves a little piece of it in you; when your mind recalls a scene or phrase from the film when you're just out living your life. It leaves an impact, however small
2:04 out with it lad 😂😂😂
The first time i saw this clip I was super high and very tired. This video scared me a lot
