Melodrama grips every scene of the movie. Guilt captivates Tom and he makes far more worse decisions (or right?) to write notes to Hannah (the Mother) reassuring her about her family.Īt this point the film’s rather quiet yet powerful romanticism is pushed aside by a series of brutal accusations and further bad decision-making. Years later, Tom discovers that the presumably dead baby’s biological mother (Rachel Weisz), lives on the mainland and is devastated and miserable by the loss of her husband and child. But upon Isabel’s requests of letting her keep the baby, as if this were God’s answer, he finally gives in to his wife’s love and despair. Tom being prim and severe in his manners, and having seen profound loss and death, immediately opts to report it to the authorities. As though the light god heard their screeching prayers for a baby, this on morning, Tom and Isabel find a stranded boat with a baby and a dead man. Isabel gets pregnant twice and tragically loses her baby on both occasions, profusely embarrassed, she refuses any medical help. Their lives on the island is portrayed to be a happy one, secluded from the rest of humanity, weaving their own tales and memories and yearning to start a family. During his brief visits to the mainland, he meets and falls in love with a local woman, Isabel (Alicia Vikander), who after the exchange of a few letters agrees to be his wife. The Light between Oceans introduces us to a reserved World War I trench battle veteran, Tom Sherbourne (Michael Fassbender), who opts to take a job as a lighthouse keeper on a remote island of Australia.
#Movie about lighthouse keeper who finds a baby movie#
The movie attempts to throw light on intriguing philosophical questions of right and wrong when in love and is all about guilt, desperation, forgiveness and redemption.
It’s an oddly old-fashioned plot revolving around the age-old quest of love and its limits.
Cast: Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, Rachel Weisz, Jack Thompson, Bryan Brown.
