If you do plan on watching it then its a good thing you stopped reading because I ended up writing a whole bunch of spoilers throughout the article. More than I originally intended to. But let me know your thoughts if you watch it. I haven't seen or heard of the Lighthouse but If I can get it then I'll watch it. I'm limited to Netflix at the moment so my chances are low. Netflix France never has anything that I search for. It was like that in Canada as well. But I'll take a look.
Edit: I just watched the trailer for Lighthouse. It looks exactly like my type of movie. I've added it to my short list. Ill let you know my thoughts once I get it and watch it.
Everyone is good here, thanks.
I hope you and your husband are doing well - safe and healthy, as well :)
Hello @leaky20 :)
I'm stopping by to let you know what I think about the movie (I watched it last Sunday). Although I felt captivated by it (e.g. it never bored me) when it ended I needed a little while to think things through and appreciate it for what it is. It is a good movie.
I was glad I already knew about the disorganized storytelling beforehand (because of the little bit I read from your article). It was then more meaningful to me (I thought, well that's how her mind works). Your interpretation of what her sweet friend (from the shop) represents is truly insightful. When Sarah had her breakdown and the friend was talking to her I was like: oh! she does mean well, but can't really handle it...
Finally, about the finale, when the movie ended I was: Huh? Then, the penny dropped! Unlike you, I didn't consider psychogenic death, my interpretation was that she had completely lost touch with reality. But your view of the conclusion is indeed a pensive one!
Glad you like the trailer! I'm quite confident you'll enjoy The Lighthouse. I hope you can watch it sooner than later.
You guys stay safe over there.
Have a wonderful day :D
I'm glad you liked it.
Yeah I thought the shop owners reactions were very believable. I think that many people would react similarly in that sort of situation.
I like your interpretation of the ending as well. I think thats its probably more fitting than GUI or psychogenic death (that must be its proper name). Psychogenic death probably doesnt quite fit the situation but thats where my mind went. A complete disconnect from reality makes more sense.
Thanks for the discussion :)
