#Movie about lighthouse keeper who finds a baby full
Not long after their wedding they try to start a family, which is followed by a painful period of heartbreak as Isabel experiences two tragic miscarriages, distraught by her inability to carry a baby full term. The two fall in love as they correspond through letters and soon get married. She brings a warmth his withdrawn coldness desperately needs. She is attracted to Tom as well, pulled in by his quiet, focused ways and strong ethics.
But then, after one particular trip to the mainland, he meets Isabel Graysmark ( Alicia Vikander), a woman with her own past trauma and is taken aback, drawn to her serene beauty. Haunted by his experiences there, he takes a job temporarily filling a spot as a lighthouse keeper at Janus Rock, that offers solitude and responsibilities that will hopefully distract from his trauma. The film opens in December 1918, where we find veteran Tom Sherbourne ( Michael Fassbender), who returns home to a coastal town in Western Australia after serving in World War I. Propelled by strong performances from three award-winning actors, the “The Light Between Oceans” is a compelling, yet distant tale of love and grief, despite some of its storytelling flaws. It’s unconventional in that it’s more of a melodramatic tragedy than it is a straight-up romance, which is something I welcome.
Stedman, is different in that its a period piece and an ode to the sweeping romances that studios used to release long ago. This film, which Cianfrance adapts from the best-selling 2012 novel from M.L. Both films have something in common with his latest film “The Light Between Oceans”, which is that they all include human fallibility and a yearning to right wrongs. In “ Blue Valentine” he told the story of the matrimonial dissolution of a seemingly happy young couple and in the epic and ambitious “ The Place Beyond the Pines” he offered a look the cause and effect life choices have across generations.
Writer/director Derek Cianofrance is a confident and astute filmmaker who has a knack for bringing unconventional stories to the big-screen. Rated: PG-13 (for thematic material and some sexual content) Produced by: David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford
