The Lighthouse (2019)
The Lighthouse (2019) is a psychological horror film directed by Robert Eggers. The film follows two lighthouse keepers, Thomas Wake (Willem Dafoe) and Ephraim Winslow (Robert Pattinson), as they struggle to maintain their sanity while living in isolation on a remote island.
The film is filled with intense and often disturbing scenes, and one of the most talked-about aspects of the film is its sexual moments. From the start of the film, the tension between the two men is palpable, and it only intensifies as the film progresses.
The first sexual moment in the film comes when Thomas Wake is seen masturbating in his bunk. This scene is particularly uncomfortable to watch, as it is clear that Thomas is struggling with his own repressed desires.
The second sexual moment in the film comes when Ephraim and Thomas share a passionate kiss. This scene is incredibly powerful, as it shows the two men finally giving in to their desires and connecting with each other in a way that they have been unable to do before.
The third sexual moment in the film comes when Thomas and Ephraim have a drunken night together. This scene is particularly uncomfortable to watch, as it is clear that Thomas is taking advantage of Ephraim’s inebriated state.
The fourth and final sexual moment in the film comes when Thomas and Ephraim have a violent fight. This scene is particularly disturbing, as it shows the two men’s repressed desires and frustrations coming to a head.
Overall, The Lighthouse (2019) is a powerful and disturbing film that is filled with intense and often uncomfortable sexual moments. These moments are an integral part of the film, and they help to further explore the themes of repression, desire, and isolation.
