I have watched a movie, “THE LIGHTHOUSE”. It is for people who want to be soaked into a stressful environment in which everything turns out to be hallucination and noting becomes reliable. This stressful observation acts as both explicit and intimate analogy to a modern world. The story is of New England in the 19th century, but the humanities underlie are common to modern age. Socio-politically it is the story of the descriptive age, but literary-historically the old-fashioned style of the movie invests to it an astounding power of the expression, either in visual or in sound. Individuality and existence of human beings are challenged by the crazy world, leading to the catastrophe. One who is interested in the solitary lives in lighthouses is definitely recommended to watch this movie. Of course, there is no single sincerity of expression in this movie, and it silently shows the unreliability of the world spread in front of human beings. There are a lot of matters not explicitly described in the story. The structuralism of the story is enforced by the visual and sound effects with sharp contrasts, echoing anywhere. There is also a post-structuralism by deconstructed flows of lines. Many intertextual elements appear in the movie and deciphering them would be a tough job. Psychoanalytically the movie is also meaningful. No female human in the story itself is also a matter in it. Willem Dafoe is of course an excellent actor, and Robert Douglas Thomas Pattinson did a good job, together with Tenet, apart from Harry Potter.
Overall, it is a movie worth watching for every human being who gets lost in the daily life. After watching this movie, most people surely admit it to be a masterpiece.
