Watch this movie when you get the opportunity. It's one of the best films I've seen in some time, with great acting. The writer for The Lighthouse is fucking based for creating this subversive blackpill masterpiece. There are multiple dark and supernatural themes interwoven together, and many people here will truly understand the loneliness and isolation aspects that the two characters of the film are subjected to. However, the one theme I want to focus on is the overarching reference to the Prometheus myth and the ending of the movie. Watch the unsettling climax below. Pay attention to the chilling emotions displayed in the protagonist's face as he stares into the light, embodying Prometheus stealing the secrets of fire from the gods.
Normies who watch the film might get the Prometheus reference because they have been told of it, but they do not understand what the protagonist actually sees because in our cucked culture such stories are censored of all so-called misogynistic content and context in discourse. But I will tell you the truth of what he sees and about how absolutely based and blackpilled ancient Greeks really were.
Hesoid wrote in the 8th Century BC his epic poem Theogony, which introduces Prometheus. Prometheus is the son of the Titan Iapetus and the Oceanid Clymene, he has several brothers, and the rest of mankind at the time were likewise born as the mortal offspring of other demi-gods and dieties. There were no women at this time. The gods demanded of the mortal men regular sacrifices of meat and food, and Prometheus uses his cunning to trick Zeus with a sacrifice of bones covered in glistening fat. However, Zeus knew of Prometheus's ruse, yet ceased on the opportunity to feign anger as an excuse to punish Prometheus by hiding the secrets of fire from all mankind to teach us our place in the order of the universe. Prometheus, undeterred, sneaks in and steals back the secret of fire from the gods. Upon learning this, Zeus becomes further enraged and decides to truly punish Prometheus and mankind. He does so by doing the following:
But the noble son of Iapetus outwitted him and stole the far-seen gleam of unwearying fire in a hollow fennel stalk. And Zeus who thunders on high was stung in spirit, and his dear heart was angered when he saw amongst men the far-seen ray of fire. Forthwith he made an evil thing for men as the price of fire; for the very famous Limping God formed of earth the likeness of a shy maiden as the son of Cronos willed. And the goddess bright-eyed Athena girded and clothed her with silvery raiment, and down from her head she spread with her hands an embroidered veil, a wonder to see; and she, Pallas Athena, put about her head lovely garlands, flowers of new-grown herbs. Also she put upon her head a crown of gold which the very famous Limping God made himself and worked with his own hands as a favor to Zeus his father. On it was much curious work, wonderful to see; for of the many creatures which the land and sea rear up, he put most upon it, wonderful things, like living beings with voices: and great beauty shone out from it.
But when he had made the beautiful evil to be the price for the blessing, he brought her out, delighting in the finery which the bright-eyed daughter of a mighty father had given her, to the place where the other gods and men were. And wonder took hold of the deathless gods and mortal men when they saw that which was sheer guile, not to be withstood by men. For from her is the race of women and female kind: of her is the deadly race and tribe of women who live amongst mortal men to their great trouble, no helpmeets in hateful poverty, but only in wealth. And as in thatched hives bees feed the drones whose nature is to do mischief—by day and throughout the day until the sun goes down the bees are busy and lay the white combs, while the drones stay at home in the covered hives and reap the toil of others into their own bellies—even so Zeus who thunders on high made women to be an evil to mortal men, with a nature to do evil. And he gave them a second evil to be the price for the good they had: whoever avoids marriage and the sorrows that women cause, and will not wed, reaches deadly old age without anyone to tend his years, and though he at least has no lack of livelihood while he lives, yet, when he is dead, his kinsfolk divide his possessions amongst them. And as for the man who chooses the lot of marriage and takes a good wife suited to his mind, evil continually contends with good; for whoever happens to have mischievous children, lives always with unceasing grief in his spirit and heart within him; and this evil cannot be healed. So it is not possible to deceive or go beyond the will of Zeus: for not even the son of Iapetus, kindly Prometheus, escaped his heavy anger, but of necessity strong bands confined him, although he knew many a wile.
Yes, that's right. The punishment was to endure the absolute evil of womankind. So what does the protagonist of the film see as he stares into the light of the lighthouse lamp? First, he witnesses for the first time the true beguiling beauty of woman. He reaches into the light and for a moment experiences the true ectasy of their embrace and is overcome with love and lust. But then their true evil nature is revealed and he experiences first their betrayal. He witnesses the future where all of his brothers willingly throw their lives away and devote themselves to these evil creatures, who rob them of all their wealth only to stab them in the back and turn their children against their fathers. He sees the horrifying diabolical evil let loose when women are given the upperhand as they destroy civilization. He sees the countless men left to destitute lives of coping and rotting alone. He sees the billions of unborn children murdered in abortion rituals. He sees men enslaved for eternity to women with their bluepilled lies. And then Prometheus's personal punishment begins, where he is maimed and left to have his entrails picked apart by birds for the rest of time, his body regenerated at night by Zeus so that he can never truly die.
When you stare at the ceiling at night, if your face never contorts in terror, if you never scream while being completely horrified as portrayed by the character in this film, you haven't fully comprehended the blackpill. The blackpill is the existential horror of realizing the true evil that is women, and the nightmare that most men have to experience for their lives.
