The Lighthouse - Robert Eggers, Willem Dafoe, and Robert Pattinson Q&A

[@LifeofMarie267]

I think another person on KZbin said it best: Robert Pattinson treats life like a PowerPoint presentation that he didn't prepare for. (and it's epic)

What a great interviewer. She knew the actors, she knew the movie, she respect the craft and don't speak over them. Seems like they had a good time, major props to her.

[@andresgajardo9273]

Exactly, Pattinson despite his beauty, has something thought provoking and mysterious about his face, it makes you wonder and intrigues you. Willem of course has that as well, and even more so. The casting was great.

[@LordMarlle]

Something about him reminds me a bit of a younger version of Marlon Brandon as Captain Kurtz

[@UncannyValleyVideos]

It legitimately makes me happy to see so many people loving on "The Lighthouse".

[@rigamortis3103]

Anyone notices Rob looks so anxious during this, Williams even asked him if he was okay And he shakes his head. You can see towards the start him breathing heavily into himself, rocking back and forth, hardly talking. I’m proud he powered through it! Anxiety isn’t easy at all so that’s why I’m proud!

It must be really nerve wracking to struggle with extroverted communication and listen to Willem speak eloquence without pause. Of course he was nervous. I like him a lot and hope he gets the praise he deserves to ease his anxiety.

Pattinson maybe but since when is Willam Dafoe underrated?

[@rasmussyrjala1370]

The definition of a good movie is that after i watched it, i have to suck in all the interviews and stuff where the people who made the film talk about it. This was one of them.

[@bethaniie_]

Yes!!

[@gloverelaxis]

brilliant interview. god *damn* this film was incredible. just absolutely soaked head to toe in tension and atmosphere and style. truly unique

[@ashmckean7543]

agreed. honestly, since i first watched it, i haven't really been able to stop thinking about it.

[@elfsieben1450]

Watch this film three times at a full moon midnight, and the third time around you will grow a beard from nothing, and it will have the smell of kelp and the taste of salt to it. That's how good this film is.

[@withnail-and-i]

Makes me think of Zulawski's Possession in terms of intensity

[@dslkjvoxicuyhgl4554]

Absolutely. The sea spray, the cold, the horrid food, the scratchy burlap clothes of the 19th century, the language.....just such a vivid atmosphere. You FEEL it.

[@wilkinsmicawber2996]

It's funny that Dafoe thought Pattinson was interesting and mysterious when he did Twilight (14:00) because what Dafoe's character says to Pattinson in the film applies pretty nicely to his Twilight persona: "Ye pretended to some mystery in yer quietudes, but there aren't no mystery. You're an open book. A picture, says I!"

[@SpringerA1984]

Eggers is fucking ICONIC!! Incredible nerd level dedication!! Everyone involved absolutely stunning!!

Wasnt a fan of Robert Pattinson until this. Deeply love Willen Dafoe. He's an amazing actore

[@skilldren]

Willem is pure class, and shows his age and maturity by being able to string together multiple thoughts and sentences without using the word 'like'.

[@linusf]

what a great and personable host. really eased the actors into each part of the conversation. this was fun to watch

[@kerrybruce760]

Robert is such a gifted actor but the way he describes his process it’s almost like he never prepares he just shows up and performs. I know it’s not that simple. What could anyone say about Mr Willem Defoe? He’s AMAZING as always! Just beautiful performances from both! Love the film. It’s very interesting just two people and conversations (drama) like it used to be (Think Hitchcock). Excellent!

I love how the visuals and the general tone of the movie will repel people that won't do a bit of legwork, and on the other hand pull everybody else inside its maelstrom "it feels like a documentary and not a narrative piece of fiction" While I know what she meant, I'd still would love to know where she gets her documentaries from.

[@xevious2501]

Ya really shouldn't blame an actor for a bad character in a film. We all make the mistake of blaming the actors for poor performances and bad characters but also completely forget the fact the Actors didnt not create the role, nor write the screenplay, nor dialog and in most cases didnt direct themselves doing the role, we forget who the blame should really be aimed at... The Directors, the Writers, the Producers and casting agents. A film and its execution falls on those individuals. The Actors try to understand and translate the character in the script, but the final word on that character is that the director who approves it or not. As such Pattinson should not be mared for the role he played in TWILIGHT, Give you a perfect example.. Mark Hamill in The last Jedi. The Actor himself knew his character was completely wrong from his previous iterations , only to later find that the directors and writers were basically hacks set out to drive Starwars and its key characters into a brick wall. Cant blame Hamill, you have to blame those truly responsible.

[@julietteSoul]

xevious2501 He didn’t have to finish the series and they almost fired him before new moon for not smiling enough , so he smiled more. So stop acting like he was held prisoner in Twilight Series!

[@xevious2501]

@@julietteSoul I really dont get what your on about, But!. when actors take roles they typically dont want to bail on projects as theyre under contract by their studio and obligated to complete the projects they themselves had agreed to understake. Bailing brings untrust and such a thing scares directors and producers, if they cant trust your obligation to their investment, you will likely find yourself out of work for a long time. having broke the rule of the actors guild.

[@mollieforrest7023]

@@julietteSoul he also signed a contract for eight films in the franchise, and he still did other projects throughout, so you can't judge him for a decision ne and his agents made when he was 21.
