A masterpiece. Eggers future films will be big events. Bring on The Northman.

This must be one of the best conversations I've ever seen between 2 film-makers. Contrasting 2 great films that as they say have certain surface similarities but are also so different.

For me, BAIT is more of a piece of technical cinema than it is narrative cinema, and I continue to admire the way it has been created. The Lighthouse, on the other hand; well, I still haven't got over The Lighthouse. Haunting.

Two relatively up and coming writer/directors who have both already proved they not only know how to make films, but they know how to make films that are different, and with a passion. It's great to have more filmmakers like this!

If Persona and Eraserhead had a child, that would be The Lighthouse. Brilliant masterpiece, really looking forward to The Northman.

Being outside UK, not having any chance to watch any of these two movies yet, still I really enjoyed this conversation between these two great talents. Good lucks to both of them and their upcoming projects.

This is really inspirational stuff. Were it not for the pandemic and lockdown here in London, I would have been shooting my first indie short (well, not a short exactly, not feature length by any stretch, probably 45 minutes or something like that) this summer. That was my big goal for 2020 -- oh well. Instead, I've been trying to devise scripts for new ideas and stories as they come to mind, but it all feels so fraught given that it probably won't be possible to produce or shoot any live-action material until this time next year or whenever a vaccine is available. The next-best options I've come up with are pre-visualising the movies (literally drawing every frame as I imagine it) and getting isolated actors to record their lines, or learning how to animate... In any case, Jenkin and Eggers here give a worthwhile kick in the pants!

Eggers: “And I’m in-I’m in Belfast.” Me: “Belfast? *Asks Siri, Where is Belfast?*” Siri: “Belfast is in Northern Ireland” Eggers: “Yeah, I just moved from New York to Belfast-And... I’m still in Belfast” Me: Tf?! At any rate, thank you for publishing this lovely interview, great insight into the minds of these two creators. I am looking forward to seeing what they have in store, I hope I get to meet, chat and work with them one day 💭 👌🏽🤪😩🙏🏼❤️🎊💯

eggers has said before that the american indians have the best myths of North America and that he'd like to do a western but id REALLY love to see him make something about the east coast native people to some degree. Seriously underexplored cinematically

The Lighthouse - same old, same old people gone mad in confined space drama that's been done too many times before. Very disappointed. The incredible photography deserved a much better script.

I thought the script was fantastic. It's various allusions to Greek myth leave it open to a variety of interpretations, and Willem Defoe's "Hark Triton" speech is astonishing.

@@Sifar_Secure I expected something horrifying and claustrophobic and unique. I got none of those. All style, no substance. The Witch it was not.

@@garrybaldy327 Interesting opinion. I think The Lighthouse is different from the witch in that its less of an obvious horror movie. If you went in expecting that, it makes sense that you might have been disappointed. I simply disagree with your point about the script though, it's fantastic and historically accurate - what more could you possibly want?

@@henbenharris If I'm not getting a narrative script, then I expect a script that concentrates on depth of character to hook me in and make me care about the people. I was never hooked. Simply detached and aloof. For you, this film was a success. For me, it was a failure.
@MJGianesello4 жыл бұрын
@@garrybaldy327 "i was never hooked" is an excuse disguised as criticism, and style over substance is the most commonly used gross misconception people wield as if it were an actual argument, it's an entirely nonsensical complaint in the context of cinema, the script is nothing short of brilliant, and there's plenty of narrative, what there is little of is plot, confusing the two is amateurish
