A pervert?

posted 3 years ago by [deleted]

The Witch;
- A young boy is seduced and kissed by a witch.
- Said young boy peeps his sisters cleavage.

The Lighthouse;
- Masturbation galore.
- A man has sex with a mermaid. Said mermaid has a huge vagina. He studied shark vaginas to model hers off.
- A real fart-a-thon.
- Characters are treated like dogs, on all fours barking. Something of a humiliation fetish. Like an S&M animal playrole.

The Northman;
- People on all fours acting like dogs, barking.
- A man burps then his young son farts up a storm.
- A Woman bares herself and smears menstrual blood on a man.
- An incestual scene where a mother kisses her son and states they should be together.
- The earlier scenes with the Mother as well (implied lust for her brother in law, her being kidnapped and taken as a bride) are all a bit 'mommy kink'.

I mean taken as a whole we have paedophilic, incestual, interspecies, farting and animal acting/humiliation elements. That's a shopping list full of degeneracy.

Mark these words! His next film will feature such degeneracy also. The man is riddled with fetishes. His fart fetish in particular is severely debilitating and he can't help himself.

Just remembered that The Witch also has said young boy returning home nude and the sacrifice at the beginning showcases a young childs ding-a-ling.

I'm on to something here but society sees fetishes and degenerecy as 'quirky art' whilst showcasing topless Women is 'sleazy, male gazey and misogynistic'. Mad times.

One day people will look back and realize Mr. Eggers has a rotten brain.

My wife saw "The Northman" and utterly loathed it. Now I know why. I was going to check it out but I think I'll pass.

It's a strange film to say the least. I liked parts of it but some of the scenes were weird for weirds sake. It's seen as 'art' by some people. It's quite a slow film too. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, not because it's the worst thing ever (good acting, decent cinematography, some of the Norse lore is interesting) but I wouldn't want to be the one who recommended this to someone as there is a good chance they'd have the reaction your Wife did.

I actually knocked points of it for the utterly bizarre scene with the characters acting like dogs then burping and farting. He's done that two films in a row now. Why he feels the need to have characters on all fours, barking and then passing wind is truly beyond me.

It's like a compulsion. What Tarantino is to feet this dude is to acting like dogs and farting. I'm serious. I reckon he'll do some other stupid shit like this in future films.

I was interested in it because I tend to like Viking flicks and sword & sandal movies in general (like my wife), plus it was shot in scenic Iceland.

Just a heads up, the vast majority of it was actually shot in Ireland. I know as I'm from Ireland, it's actually one of the reasons I was interested in the film. Some of it was filmed very close to me, I live a few miles from the scenes shot on rivers (I used to cross a bridge over the same river utilized in the film, when I went to my old place of work) and I've hiked some of the mountain ranges which are in the film.

I could recognize the topography as notably Irish. Green grass, the forested areas, mild winds, overcast skies. Not an expert on the topography of Iceland, but I imagine it's more blistery and less green over there. In most respects it's more of an Irish film than an Icelandic one.

Only some parts were shot in Iceland. Some ancillary outdoor shots I believe. Some second unit stuff. I could tell the scenes shot in Iceland as they had very dynamic coastal mountain ranges lacking in the color green which we don't have here. I'd say the film is 90+% Irish with regards to location.

One of the most hilarious posts I've ever read.

The Witch could've been a good movie if it didn't glorify evil in the end, but painting the Satanic path as some sort of path to feminist liberation ruined the film for me. Or at least that's how I took it.

The Northman was interesting, but as you say, it's slow, and it's a much smaller story than the trailers would lead one to believe it is. I heard some people hyping it as Braveheart meets Gladiator. It ain't that.

It's hilarious because it's true. Everyone who has seen the three films in question knows all to well everything I've stated has actually happened in the films. During the run times it may not stand out to some but when you extract the rotten elements and look at them carefully they belie the horrid fantasies of a perverted individual.

He'll do it again and again. Watch as his next film contains similar elements.

You know the way some directors have a style. A prefered vibe or aesthetic, repeating motifs and themes. Eggers has many, he's an interesting case to study. He adores period pieces, ye olde dialects and he's riddled with fetishes.

My sibling and I had a discussion about this, he agreed with me that as the content creator, somewhere in Eggers psyche lies these depraved thoughts & fantasies. They appeal to him on some level. That is acting like a dog, jerking off, fucking mermaids, kissing your mom, looking at your sisters tits and farting up a storm speak to him on a deeply spiritual level. They define him as a person, a character. If he's not aware of these fetishes he will be when I sit him down and have a good long, very much needed, chat with him. He needs a shrink.

Eggers doesn't bow to affirmative action quotas. Give him credit for that.

i'm convinced that the guy is into walking around on all fours like a dog and farting. all of his movies have that written into them.
