I watched The Lighthouse with my dad a few years ago and I think that was the most awkward movie watching situation I’ve been in. We decided to watch it because it had Willem Dafoe on it, a positive rating, and it was on a streaming service he had. It’s not really a spoiler but the movie has multiple scenes with a focus on masturbation. Neither of us turned it off because we kept assuming that was the last of it and we would have had to get up for the remote.
I don’t know how bad it got because that’s when I turned it off
Why though? It’s pretty good.
Opening with a closeup of Willem DaFoe pounding away at Charlotte Gainsbourg just seems kind of gratuitous, I’m not really into that.
Ever watch porn? Even if not sex is a thing that happens all the time, and that movie is all about pushing boundaries. I don’t think anyone should be disgusted by sex.
Some people are, though, and it’s not a moral failing.
If it helps, his dick was too big to be believable so they used a body double (a dick double, if you will).
Imagine being cast for that role and then saying, “excellent, your dick is small enough for this”.
