[@lucasblue20]

Re-uploading this one last time! All of my points are still there. The audio is exactly the same. I re-edited a few visuals to avoid another takedown and I am now well aware of the rules. Please don’t worry about re-commenting all your lovely comments!! I included everyone’s comments in the description in case anyone would like to read them. Thank you so much for watching!! New video next Saturday!!

[@ricksanchez3c273]

Just watched the movie. After watching your video I learned that I was missing about 50% of the context. Thanks man, great analysis!

[@lucasblue20]

I was extremely confused the first time I saw this so I completely understand. But I’m so glad the video was helpful! This video really took time so it really means a lot to hear your kind words! Thank you!!

[@eml8793]

You really deserve more views. Loved every second of this analysis, same as American Psycho and No Country For Old Men. Keep making more, dude!

[@lucasblue20]

Thank you so much my friend! Ill keep uploading every week. If you like Memento, you’ll likely enjoy my video tomorrow and next week. Thank you so much for watching, your words really mean a lot!!

@@eml8793 Hahaha damn u really do know the movie well, that’s awesome! Can’t wait for u to see these next two vids!!

[@BluncheonMeat]

Wow, I've watched this movie 5 times already, along with almost every analysis video, but it felt like I was missing some level of understanding. I think this video fills in all of the gaps and pretty much hits the mark! Great work!

[@hannahmadden1862]

Can't thank you enough for this. I was simultaneously confused and enthralled by The Lighthouse; this helps make sense of it all. I'd love to get your take on some of Lars von Trier's work. Antichrist was tough to watch but has stayed with me for years.

[@stefanospappas9061]

What an amazing analysis! Extremely well structured and presented, which helped me understand and truly enjoy this movie! This truly deserves a tone of views and I thank you for making it!

[@lucasblue20]

Wow, thank you so much for this! This is probably the video I'm most proud of on my channel because this movie is the most insane, so it really means a lot that you enjoyed the video, and its layout and delivery. Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words!!

[@adammavi6190]

bro gonna say everything at the end of the video

[@faixii_khan]

Just discovered your video after watching the movie! Really loved your analysis, Channels like yours is the reason I pay for the internet. Hats off!

[@blakejones9206]

I’m glad you made this video, because I literally just took the film as “2 sea men go mad in a lighthouse.” And i thought the directors and writers pulled from greek themes and such. But def wanted to hear what someone else thought about it

[@dragandjukic839]

Bro how do you have only 6k subs, like wtf... quality content like this definitely deserves more subs... a LOT more...

[@lucasblue20]

Haha idk my channel's pretty new so I guess it just needs time, but I'm glad you came across this! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words, I'll keep creating!!

[@0101799]

Thank you for making these concepts so easy to understand! :)

[@kittymittenss]

I absolutely love your analysis and interpretation of The Lighthouse! Your attention to detail and organized presentation style is really impressive! :)

[@lucasblue20]

This means so much to me because this was the hardest video to make on my channel haha thank you so much, it really means everything!!

[@bumpercarjoe6391]

REALLY EXCELLENT breakdowns. Super insightful. Clips from this video will help me communicate with my therapist

[@lucasblue20]

I can totally understand the therapy aspect, good movies always provoke my thoughts about my personal life and how I can evolve. It's such a wonderful side of art. And so glad you enjoyed! Thank you!!

[@ashwinc3789]

damn your channel is underrated the amount of time and effort you put into this video really shows in its quality, hope this channel blows up.

[@lyh01]

I think as an arthouse film, this film is very well-paced, not too long, and not too ambiguous (story & meaning). The slower parts are not too slow and are filled with intriguing visual and sound effects, and good acting so it never feels boring, which is very well-done as an arthouse film. The main plot can be understood quite easily. The only parts that require explanations are all the greek mythology references, which are perfectly explained by you. Overall, this film exceeds my expectation, and thanks for explaning all the references, which completes my film-viewing experience

[@lucasblue20]

Thank you so much my friend! I agree with you wholeheartedly about the film’s structure and design, it’s perfectly balanced from so many angles. I’m glad I did the research because the lore always fascinated me, and I’m so happy to share it. Thank you so much again!!

[@Kalama_Llama_King_Kong]

Thank you for this. Totally makes sense.

[@sorenp1332]

The last minute of this video should be taught to children every single day

[@sneakycat8920]

OMG U just mirrored my doubts😮 I wish your commitment yields you more👍🏼

[@kapilmsingbal]

Such in-depth point by point analysis. I really loved this one and your other videos on The Power of The Dog and Passing. Keep them coming. It's really very insightful :)

[@lucasblue20]

Wow I'm so glad you enjoyed these, this video was probably my favorite one to make so I'm so happy you came across it. Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching! I will certainly keep creating weekly come new year!!

[@greatguy2141]

Notice also that Wake stands naked in front of the light, whereas Winslow has clothes on. Nakedness in spiritual thought signifies the removal of human emotions/limitations of a person and being left with the divine essence. That's why the holy light does not harm Wake, but drives Winslow insane, and forces him to end up naked at the end.

[@2live4u95]

yoooo ur videos are great, i rlly appreciate your thorough overview of ur ideas in the beginning of every video, so helpful for me and helps puts these video essays a step above a lot of other "movie explained" youtubers

[@lucasblue20]

Dude your profile pic is legendary, I love that album and the Bruiser Brigade, the song Bash Bandi**** has been playing in my car way too much hahaha it’s too good! But anyway, thank you so much my friend! I’m super glad you appreciate the little agenda I do because I always feel like it helps keep me and the viewer on track with what’s happening because the movie is already incredibly confusing itself. It really means a lot that you enjoy the videos! Thank you so much for watching!!

@@lucasblue20 BRUISER! zelooperz is so fucking underrated!!! I saw Z and maxo kream open for danny brown in San Francisco when atrocity exhibition came out and Ive been a fan ever since. Z jumped in the mosh pit and was rapping in the pit!!! it was amazing

[@lucasblue20]

@@2live4u95 agreed, I feel like he could become the next JPEG with the right single or album! And this is pretty crazy but I was at the same show but in Vancouver, Canada. I don’t think Maxo Kream was there, but Zelooperz opened at the Atrocity Exhibition tour and that’s where I became a fan as well. I was sold when I heard PayPal and Elevator live, he’s a wild dude haha

[@2live4u95]

@@lucasblue20 true, he just needs 1 rlly tight concise album with no filler, a few beats from bigger producers and a earl feature (easter sunday my fav song of both of them lmao) and he would easily be on the next level

[@lucasblue20]

@@2live4u95 omg ik Easter Sunday is such a golden song, the beat is perfection. And yes I completely agree, a tight album with relatively big names should make the difference, btw please recommend me hip-hop albums if you hear any that you’re crazy about. I’m always looking for new music!!

Excellent analysis🙌

[@joeybidner]

awesome breakdown! thank you for translating that monologue. that was great! am I the only one who noticed the seagull he killed had one eye, and it was mentioned that the old house keeper lost his eye? i thought that was symbolic of the tale that sea birds are the soals of those lost at sea. loved this movie. thanks for the insightful theme overview!

[@lucasblue20]

Totally my pleasure my friend! I love this film way too much, and yeah I've heard that detail before about the one-eyed seagull, it makes perfect sense and you're completely right about its symbolism. So glad you enjoyed the video, thanks so much!!

[@slashismyhommie8182]

I will say, this film is great. First time I watched I picked up on certain themes, and I think more focused on the shots and cinematography of it at times. But after thinking of it my 2nd time I saw more of the Greek theming of Prometheus for sure. And the monologue Willem Dafoe does is something of masterpiece how it's performed as well as shot. That and the scene when dirt is being shoveled onto him, it's a brilliant performance while at the same time cold and disturbing. For him to stay in character and do the scene with dirt shoveling onto him even to the point it was in his face and mouth, I can't imagine any other performance in this generation. It draws back to the idea that to act is to suffer. It's uncomfortable to watch, and it is very direct as far as shooting that scene was intended to do

[@isaachillesland2722]

When the light comes out of his eyes, it seems to be hearkening to the way a lighthouse shoots light out into a storm. Is it saying he has become the lighthouse?

[@eldiran2]

Good work and analysis--it is a complicated film, to be sure. But also Wondrous to look at.

[@lucasblue20]

Thank you so much! It's one of my favorite movies ever, and yeah, it's so spectacular to look at and so easy to rewatch for me even though it's really complex. Thank you so much for watching! I'm super glad you enjoyed!!

Yeah it was made unavailable in several countries but I spent the week re-editing the video. All of my points are still there. Just made sure everything was perfectly KZbin-friendly. I think this one should be good! Thank you so much for keeping up though!! New video next week!

[@NN-mr5lw]

@@lucasblue20 third time's a charm! But it is such a pity to loose your views, comments and all the interactions. I copy my first comment and hope your hard work and dedication will get all the attention they deserve. "Very insightful ! Love it! This movie is also an incredible aesthetic experience : like a Caravaggio tenebroso painting with light and obscurity. I remember thinking there were some references to all the "killing the father" theory but your analysis and the link to the greek mythology made me revisit some of the primal genesis myths of Ouranos and Kronos : the phallic aspect of the lighthouse, the up and down movements and view points, ascending and descending, accessing the light, etc."

[@lucasblue20]

Yeah it's really unfortunate because the comments are one of my favorite aspects of the channel, it's so great to hear people's new ideas on the film and their feedback on the videos. It makes uploading really exciting! And thank you so much for the re-comment! It really means a lot!!

I think you made the best analysis of The Lighthouse. In my opinion your theories almost match my take on The Lighthouse.

[@P0XF0X]

Really good analysis, thank you! But the constant pausing to tell us that you'll explain some detail later in the video is totally superfluous, and takes away from the video a bit.
