Robert Pattinson & Robert Eggers On The WTF Weirdness of ‘The Lighthouse’ | Rotten Tomatoes

An almost undefinable mix of horror, fantasy, drama, and claustrophobic comedy, ‘The Lighthouse’ is leaving audiences thrilled, shocked, and a little confused in its wake. “What’s it all about?” To answer that question, we sat down with star Robert Pattinson and director and co-writer Robert Eggers to ask what’s going on in this tale of the crusty Thomas Wake (Willem Dafoe) and the mysterious Ephraim Winslow (Pattinson), who are together charged with running a New England lighthouse when a mammoth storm hits and some serious cabin fever sets in. That sense of weirdness, of the unexplained, is partly the point of the film, the pair explains. Plus, Pattinson reveals how he tried to shock co-star Dafoe in some of their intense brawling scenes and shares why he took on the challenging role, while Eggers talks about the joy of working with two actors who are “game for anything” and why he’s stretching the definitions of genres.

@aah I saw it with my father and he made a good point that, he might be getting electrocuted. By that time I believe they used an electric light. Though I don't know enough about the one in this film. It made sense to me because of the insanely loud buzz.

[@luizspindola]

@aah they drank the fuel for the lamp... I don't think it was electric

[@LordVader1094]

@aah He's not being electrocuted. The light runs off oil fuel, not electricity.

[@elfsieben1450]

@@luizspindola Fuel can be for a generator. Electric light is much brighter and more constant in intensity. Lighthouses are for the safety of people, and with high-value goods and on-time delivery contracts they were commercially highly important, and also for military vessels. Before radar, people would make sure they were state of the art. That's also why they were highly regulated, just as flight towers today.

[@elfsieben1450]

@@luizspindola Most likely the fuel was for a generator, though. Electric light is brighter and more constant, and for safety reasons lighthouses had to be state of the art, pretty much like airport towers nowadays. Before cargo planes and radar, lighthouses bore even higher commercial and military relevance. So the funding for new technology must have been available, at least on important routes. It's also the reason why lighthouse regulations were as strict as portrayed in the movie. They were just hard to enforce with no one else around but the lighthouse keepers most of the time.

He might be better than twighlight but Dafoe puts him to shame. Dafoe works on a completely different level.

[@brittanyjoeckel5246]

I feel like he has done well in other “non-mainstream” films before this good time and high life were intriguing mainly due to him

[@RADFLIKINCRRQT13]

Eggers is a POWERHOUSE filmmaker. The VVitch and The Lighthouse are bonafide masterworks. This man deserves all the praise and accolades along with it. On another note, the interviewer missed a huge opportunity when asking Eggers about his upcoming projects. When Eggers hesitated he should have shouted "Spill yer Beans!!"

[@miaferrari958]

I want someone to look at me the way Eggers looks at Pattinson when he talks

[@mentosfairy]

The acting in this movie was phenomenal. I went into it expecting it to devolve into the Willem Dafoe show, but Robert Pattinson was just as commanding a presence on screen as Willem Dafoe was and gave an absolutely superb performance. I was pleasantly surprised as I am not all that familiar with Robert Pattinson’s work outside of the Twilight series. This movie and Parasite are neck and neck for me for best movie of 2019.

[@koala7254]

Pattinson loves to takes risks. Considering how doing DC movies gave major setbacks to henry cavill's, ben affleck's, and jared leto's careers, I cant imagine a greater risk.

[@IluvUFCgirl4eva11]

The thing with Batman though is he really does seem like the most “art house” character. He’s super deep and kinda twisted, it’s why i love the character. The last few movies kind of stained DC but Batman will always be loved no matter what (if he’s done right) (which he will be)

I'm glad they didn't went very deep on the question what the film is all about, because imo there is a lot of symbolism shown not only in the arguably real and sane scenes but also in the very obviously hallucinated parts of the film. Not only is it a choice of the filmmaker to confuse the viewer with the ongoing insanity of the wickies, I think the film also lays enough clues for the viewer to figure out what happened himself, or at least come up with some theories.
