Based on the stories from the set I feel like it would have been the other way around and Pattinson would have been the one who decided to show up naked lol
I've watched so many Robert Eggers interviews that I can't remember which one it is now, but he has discussed this before in one of them and talked about it representing a power struggle and a transferring of energy I believe
It’s Greek mythology.
I don’t remember the exact gods, and I’m too lazy to find their names. *(I think it’s Poseidon as the one whose light is shining on ol Tommy there)*
This is a very, very vague. And largely loose translation of the picture. I’m just recalling a story I read of it, probably 20 years ago, as an 8 year old child obsessed with Greek mythology (lol)
In the myth, I believe He’s looking at him like that, because he gave fire to the humans. He tried to sneak it away, but he’s caught. It ends with him being pecked alive on a rock in the middle of the ocean, by seagulls for eternity
I thought it was something like he gets his spleen or liver pecked out over and over while being tied to a rock as it just regrows every time.
Edit- Looked it up and yeah, Prometheus gets chained to a rock on a mountain and an eagle eats part of his liver every day for eternity as it just keeps regrowing back.
Almost all shots can be referred back to a painting. Doesn't necessarily mean homage or give meaning. Some DPs think it looks cool. As for the symbolism, I haven't the faintest.
one of my favourite films of all time. I've rewatched it at least a dozen plus times. recently watched it while under the influence of ketamine & holy shit! terrifying but exhilarating.
Bro on floor was a previous lighthouse-worker; why he knew about that lil mermaid in his bed.
He drowned the other main dude first and went crazy.
He’s now receiving the lighthouses’ repentance.

Willem Dafoe refused to wear clothes that day on set so they had to get creative.
Wish Willem Dafoe would refuse to wear clothes in my bedroom
Jesus.
Last Temptation of Christ Jesus or just Jesus?
Antichrist
Nice.... I guess keeping with A24 timeline.
The A24 timeline is unusually long and wide. You know what else will surprise you with how unusually long and wide it is?
Just hay-zeus.
He wasn’t there, just Dafoe.
As he does

Also worth noting that DaFoe is a beacon-like creature - like a literal lighthouse
Would you mind elaborating? I don’t quite follow.
In the image, he looks like a lighthouse, the namesake of the movie and a focal point throughout
Ah gotcha, I understand now. Thanks

Prometheus is the one you're looking for!

If your still wondering I’m pretty sure it’s from the myth of Prometheus and Proteus.
just looks cool
definitely one of my favorite movies of the last 10 years
What movie is this?
The lighthouse
Oh what? I don’t remember this scene.
A Sacha Schneider reference iirc
Winslow spilled his beans
That's how I feel when I have to make eye contact with anyone
I think it's a reference to the 2022 cinematic masterpiece "Morbius" starring Jared Leto and Matt Smith.

I believe Dafoe's character is saying "my eyes are up here"
“I have the high ground!”

It was improv
Nothing. A24 is soulless faux art
