The Lighthouse

so fucking peak. my 3rd watch confirms that this is an absolute masterpiece. saw this in imax, and it hit different. i already loved this movie but goddamn. the cinematography is just so beautiful with the b&w, especially the shots of the ocean. and the sound design in this is incredible. especially at the end, when thomas howard is in the lighthouse and he starts screaming. i forgot how terrifying this shit is. the score is genuinely jarring, and adds to the creepy atmosphere. but this movie was fucked over at the oscars. only 1 nom?? robert pattinson needed at least a nomination, and he shouldve won tbh. him and dafoe are 2 of my favorite actors oat. it feels kinda weird saying robert pattinson is one of my favorite actors since i havent seen twilight and dont intend to, but its true. the range this man has is insane. the sheer difference between connie nikas, a criminal who takes advantage of his mentally handicapped brother and is just an awful person and fucking batman is just wild to me. and willem dafoe is probably my favorite actor oat, and this is his and pattinsons best preformance by a fucking mile. robert eggers is one of the best directors working today. hes gone 3 for 3 and hes about to go 4 for 4. everybody talks about ari aster and jordan peele, and both of them are amazing, but put some respect on robert eggers name. my hype for nosferatu is irmeasureable. this isnt even my favorite a24 movie (its moonlight), which isnt to show how bad this is, bc its the farthest thing from bad, but to show how much i love a24 and moonlight. this movie is just so perfect on so many levels.
