This sex scene is hardly sex to begin with, but rather a manifestation of his frustration and the desperation of needing to feel in control of something. In the context of The Lighthouse, that mermaid figurine was nothing more than a fuck object, and I use 'fuck' instead of 'sex' here because all that frustration from Pattinson's character wasn't ever going to lead to sex or making love. In this case, it's this strange rage jerk, but the thesis is still there: sex is used as a power grab, and every time that happens, there's always going to be someone who finds themselves on the bottom. A lot of times, that's a sexual energy utilized to establish some kind of power. A24Īnger has a way of manifesting itself into something else. Just two dudes yelling and getting angry. But, Robert Pattinson's penis work makes that vibe come to life. The anger constantly builds to the point that it has to go somewhere, but for this guy, it never seems to go in the right direction-he beats the hell out of a bird, or he physically takes it out on his own penis. All Winslow has to do is survive it without going insane. There's more booze to drink than water, and the farting, grating character played by Willem Dafoe will make your most entitled Baby Boomer uncle seem like your best friend.

Very quickly, it becomes obvious that this isn't a job for everyone. The movie begins with Robert Pattinson's Winslow joining Willem Dafoe's Thomas on a New England island to watch after a lighthouse. That's not to say a little frustration isn't warranted because Robert Pattinson's character is a guy who is on an isolated island with a dude he hates, doing a job he hates. If the terms 'violent' and 'masturbation' doesn't set up an image already, just imagine how you might look for your lost keys, but sexually, and on 4Chan. Granted, my mental catalogue of masturbation scenes isn't exhaustive, but the aggressive nature alone speaks for itself. This eventually leads to the most violent masturbation scene I've ever seen. He imagines the mermaid throughout the film, fantasizing about her and what she might look like. Early on in the film, Pattinson's character finds a mermaid figurine in his bed, nestled in a hole about midway down his mattress.
