>The film's plot orbits around a psychological conflict, using a repressive, patriarchal portrayal of Puritan society and the dark, murderous liberation of the witches.[22] The main female character, Thomasin, harbors worldly desires that differ from those of her conventionally Christian family,[23] yearning for independence,[22][24] sexuality,[25] acceptance[26][25] and power.[26][25] However, while her father and the Christian God fail to fulfill her needs, Satan instead speaks personally to her, offering her earthly satisfaction.[27] Therefore, with the demise of her family and the rejection of the Puritan society, Thomasin joins Satan and the witches, her only alternative, in order to find her long desired control over her own life.[28] Her nudity in the last scene reflects her act of casting out the bonds of her previous society.[24]
This is literally /r/WitchesvsPatriarchy
Will the Northman be as pozzed as Eggers previous films?

>According to Pattinson, the phallic imagery of the lighthouse is explicit, as Eggers described it as an erect penis in the script.[28] The film was meant to include "a very juvenile shot of a lighthouse moving like an erect penis and a match-cut to Pattinson's actual erect penis", although this cut was removed upon request by financiers.[29] Winslow displays an Oedipal fixation on his boss, Wake, given his simultaneous fear and admiration of him. Pattinson commented on the father/son dynamic in the film, stating "I was pretty conscious of how I wanted the relationship to come across. In a lot of ways, he sort of wants a daddy."[28]
>Robert Eggers is ambiguous about whether or not the characters are gay, stating: "Am I saying these characters are gay? No. I'm not saying they're not either. Forget about complexities of human sexuality or their particular inclinations. I'm more about questions than answers in this movie."[28] Sexual fantasy and masturbation are recurring themes in the film. For Dafoe, the androeroticism in the film is blatant, but it is also used to explore what it means to be a man: "They have a sense of guilt, of wrong [...] it's got existential roots [...] about masculinity and domination and submission."[28] After beating Wake into submission, Howard assumes a dominant role, calling Wake "dog" and dragging him on a leash. Commenting on this scene, Pattinson said "there's definitely a take where we were literally trying to pull each other's pants down. It literally almost looked like foreplay."[33]
>The film's mythological and artistic influences underscore its eroticism. Eggers acknowledged the visual influence of symbolist artists Sascha Schneider and Jean Delville, whose "mythic paintings in a homoerotic style," he said, "[became] perfect candidates as imagery that's going to work itself into the script."[34]
Don't think I'll support the Northman by watching it in the theaters. I'll wait for the stream
Eggers shills are trying to slide the thread
meds
it will be pozzed but pozzed in an early 2000s kinda way and I'll take anything I can get at this point
I wonder if Eggers will succeed in his lifelong quest to show a cock onscreen. he's even strung along Dafoe again, probably for that exact purpose.
Do you really think that the witches in The VVitch are meant to be the good guys? The witches who grind up babies? Any retard could see that they're clearly meant to be an evil force that the protagonist is giving herself to out of repression and fear. Anyone who views it as "YAAAS KWEEN" or "HOLLYWOOD HATES MEN" is a projecting idiot who can't see what's right in front of them. I am so sick of over-political mongs like you with a persecution complex jerking yourselves off about not "supporting" "woke media" because you can't understand what the movie is about
Thomasin joining them is portrayed positively
based and inquisition-pilled
You mean the creepy black goat whispering in her ear and her flying into the air while cackling maniacally? That was positive?
Once you show a character grinding a baby into pulp, it's safe to say that the filmmakers aren't portraying them as the good choice
