[@garrettshedd9186]

My theory is that this whole thing is a wild hallucination by the dying “Winslow” getting his guts eaten out after getting pulled out of the river. Thomas is satan who’s tormenting “Winslow” for his sins and lies. And the final scene where he ascends the lighthouse and sees the light is him seeing the light of God and being rejected, him falling down the stairs is his decent into hell.

If the lighthouse is Heaven, why the semen and why thomas (the devil) could go their and feel pleasure?I think Winslow was trying to forget his sins (he murdered his ex-coworker - represent by the gull), Thomas was his guilt or his bad side. The whole movie is the fight inside his mind (good x evil) (accept or deny) (remember or forget) The moment winslow remember / accepts what he did (open the lighthouse) his good side is crushed (represented by his death and the gull eating him)

[@Mimikinn]

Well, me and my friend saw it in theaters and we understood most of their speech. But we also live on an island with a lot of different accents so maybe that’s why it was easier for us?

[@ImpishCreations]

Definitely the most killedest character of 2019. Absolutely brutal.

[@ViewerOnline101]

This is how I interpreted this movie. The whole thing was a spiritual allegory. Thomas Howard was his real name, and him being on the island was him being stuck in Purgatory with a chance for salvation after he chose not to save the real Winslow. The light of the lighthouse was the entrance to Heaven that Thomas was trying to get to, and Thomas Wake was the gate keeper/guardian angel trying to help him obtain salvation, and the logbook was a record of Howard's sins (even Wake's name can be seen as a spiritual connection to Howard, "Thomas" "Wake"). He was testing Howard and during his time in Purgatory, and didn't want him to see himself as an evil person, which is why he didn't want him to "spill the beans". Howard lost his chance at salvation by killing Wake, which is why when he tried to go to the light (Heaven), he was cast out and fell into the darkness below (Hell). Seeing him being disemboweled by the seagulls at the end was his eternal punishment (the seagulls throughout the movie either representing angels, demons, or the souls of other sailors who either achieved salvation, damnation, or were stuck in Purgatory, like the one eyed man/seagull).

[@fockingreat1125]

Hey, I have the similar theory! The purgatory/judgement thing in general just kind of... makes the most sense to me personally lol. Specifically however, in a second half of the theory, I've got a suspicion that Thomas is some kind of a sea god, maybe a son of Poseidon, tasked with the judgment and testing of the young man. That would explain the tentacles, the mermaid (greek gods, even gods in general in mythology, tended to shapeshift a ton), and the Promethean reference at the end.

[@AmbroseCadwell]

@@fockingreat1125 Wake is Proteus, son of Poseidon. He calls himself the brother of Triton and refers to the god of the sea as his father during the lobster scene. And yeah Howard is Prometheus / humanity.

[@AmbroseCadwell]

I agree except I think he murdered the dude on purpose and lies about it, like he lies about killing the gull. I think how brutal he kills the gull is also meant to show us he is always murderously unhinged from the start and was capable of killing Winslow outright. He's up close to the back of the guy's head in the brief flashbacks, not standing a distance away watching an accident.

[@bakerzane3055]

[@amityislandchum]

I'm so sick of horror movies being snubbed by the Academy. Not only did Dafoe and Pattinson deserve nominations, but I'd say the costume designer deserved wins for this film and The Witch. Midsommar is another one that should've won that category, and also given Florence Pugh a nom.

[@dontquestionmysanity5402]

[@SomeGuyNamedPhil]

Oh yeah horror films are always snubbed, and it's annoying since horror arguably gives out the most in actors, here's some examples of horror movie performances that should've been nominated Robert Shaw - Jaws Donald Pleasence - Halloween Sigourney Weaver - Alien Jack Nicholson - The Shining Kurt Russell - The Thing Linda Hamilton - The Terminator (I do consider the first Terminator as horror) Robert Englund - A Nightmare on Elm Street Jeff Goldblum - The Fly Even modern Horror Film performances Allison Williams - Get Out Lupita Nyong'o - Us Toni Collette - Hereditary Willem Dafoe - The Lighthouse Robert Pattinson - The Lighthouse Emily Blunt - A Quiet Place Essie Davis - The Babadook Elisabeth Moss - The Invisible Man Natalie Portman - Annihilation I mean so many good horror films come out and yet the academy always ignores them mostly for dramas, the Academy Awards are always a joke, and will forever be biased.

[@itsyaboimason7069]

Personally, what I think is that the reason he started screaming when he saw what was in the lens is that it was just an ordinary lamp. Its then that he realized that for most of what happened, there was a more logical explanation. And the reason why he was screaming is because he realized he just killed a man in cold blood for what he thought was for an unbelievable treasure/beauty, but it was for nothing, and the reason wake always tended the light house is because it was the closest he could get to privacy in the cramped space they were given as their living quarters.

[@twistedmetal56]

This is such a grounded take

[@untamedchance9656]

It makes a lot of sense with the analogy of Prometheus. The lighthouse is just fire, but to humanity and the gods it was something so much greater.

[@IfIHadMyTimeAgain]

Wasn't this slightly based on a true story? About the 3 men who went missing while tending a light house after 5 weeks and they found journals about weather that didn't match what the actual weather was on those days and just odd things? The name is escaping me but that was a true story.

[@NancyDrewAndStuff84]

It was slightly based on a true story, though not that one. To my recollection, it's based on the Smalls Lighthouse Tragedy, in which two wickies were known to quarrel frequently. One of them, Thomas Griffith, died in a freak accident and the other, Thomas Howell, was afraid that he would be accused of murder should he try to dispose of the body. As such, he kept the body around until it started to decompose. He tried to make a makeshift coffin for him and hanging it upon an outside shelf. However, stiff winds eventually destroyed the coffin and caused Griffith's body to repeatedly bang against the window, emotionally traumatizing Howell to the point where he was unrecognizable to his friends after he came back. Hope this helped :)

It was about three lighthouse workers that went suddenly missing on a stormy night, with no evidence that points towards a murder or a kidnapping, yet there was some wierd evidence that points towards supernatural events, like crows circling the lighthouse and one of the lighthouse workers going crazy. I think it's called the story of flannan island.

I HAVE NEVER CLICKED ON A VIDEO SO FAST IN MY LIFE. The lighthouse is truly one of my favorite movies--it's so well crafted, everything about it is just amazing! The aspect ratio makes everything feel closed in and isolated, the black and white shows just how stark and well...dark the movie is, the performances in this movie are off the charts, and it's one of those horror movies that gives you no answers, and actually makes you have to think. Truly one of the best horror movies I've ever seen, thanks for doing a count on it!

[@liz_king]

@lauren masters That's one of the points of the movie--not to have any cement answers. It actually makes people think, which is a lot more fun than being handed the answers. There's a lot of different things that could be happening--a god and a mortal, a man dying alone in the woods, even just two men going crazy on a rock. There is no cement answer, and that's the fun of it.

[@PogueMarch]

I loved so many things about this Kill Count, but the Pete's Dragon reference and the ending monologue had to be the best parts. It's easy to see just how much you loved this movie (and Eggers as a director). And with good reason. I saw this movie in theaters and LOVED how the aspect ratio really cemented the feeling of absolute isolation that the characters and we the audience were meant to experience. It was definitely one of my favorite movies of 2019. Keep up the amazing work!
