I love a good lighthouse movie, but too bad it was shot entirely in black and white

I loved the black and white cinematography. It really suits The Lighthouse. I don't think it would have looked right in colour.

The Light Between Oceans is a recent "lighthouse movie". There was another one, I forgot the name.

I would love to see as many films in b/w as they're in color. Cinema needs some balance. It's one of the reasons why I watch films or listen to songs that are far from my taste, so when I get to things suited to my kind of taste it is more impactful. The same is true about genres, horror is never as good if there's no humour for instance, or action without drama, slow and fast pace inter-changing in one film. Contrast in life is important, in every aspect. However in this case I love b/w films, often more than color films, which sometimes can take away the magic of cinema.

I loved the black-and-white. There's something very exciting about movies in black and white, especially when the director made the choice in a colour film world to make a movie in black and white.

The images in Manhattan are brought into sharp focus by the black and white, for instance, and really shows off a certain aspect to the story, characters, and themes of the movie.

The same applies here. The Lighthouse's black and white look enriches the claustrophobic, days-gone-by world of this film.

who knew " lighthouse movie" was a thing!
Theres one in "The Rock" does that count?

That's just, like, your opinion, man.

I thought the black and white gave it great atmosphere
