    A Must See!

    Do yourself a favor and pay no mind to the reviews! In the spirit of love and friendship - a beautiful, deeply moving film that one can watch again and again. The acting is well done, the plot well considered and the scenery is absolutely fantastic. UTLD is a must see.

    Beautiful

    The previous person that commented on this film must have seen a different one than I had. I ran across this film during a fit of imsomnia on Cable. I watched it because I have always liked Jack Thompson.

    This film is about love and friendship. And how they come together when a group of friends spend time together. You can see the plot that winds between the main couple and the friends as they spend some time on the beach. The mixture of love and friendship works in my humble opinion.

    The Cinemantography is absolutely wonderful. The shots of the coast make you feel like you are there... and the beach house is a place I would love to spend some time at. Paul Murphy catches the light so beautifully as it grazes the water and the land.

    If you have a love of a good romance, and want to see Jack Thompson be romantic, then see this movie... It might just have you under the lighthouse dancing....

    Chick Flick

    This is a beautiful movie. Very poignant and touching. Some of the shots are the kind that will always stick in your head as you think back on movies you have seen. Wonderful framed!

    The acting was superb. Never do you think that you are watching actors on a screen. You get so wrapped up in the story that the characters come to life and you feel as if you are sharing in their joy and sorrow.

    However, be forewarned that it is something of a chick flick. Take a box of tissue and a bowl of ice cream and get a hug after watching it. If you don't like dramas that make you cry, don't see this film. Not that men won't like the film as well. But a person who loves action flicks and nothing else will be bored to tears watching this film.

    an Australian beauty

    UNDER THE LIGHTHOUSE DANCING was made in Perth Western Australia in 1996. It had a reputation then for being incredibly expensive and unfortunately unreleasable. In fact both those statements were at the time, correct. It cost an unbelievable $7million dollars which made it impossible to ever recoup its production cost, (it would have to gross $20m for the rentals to bring that back in) and more astonishingly was shelved because no Australian Film Distributor wanted to release it in cinemas. The gorgeous house as seen was actually built for the film and then demolished afterwards (sorry). But the film should never have cost so much; in Oz terms in the mid 90s,it should have cost about $3m like other films of the day (MURIEL, and S. BALLROOM etc) The director, Graeme Rattigan eventually was contacted with a rescue plan and the film broke records in Perth when released in just one cinema in Oct 1997. BUT....the reviews!!!.. crucifying nasty cruel vindictive and absolutely soul destroying. One male reviewer from the WestAustralian Newspaper printed a two page splash headed in giant letters ROTTO SHIPWRECK as the film was made on Rottnest Island, off Perth and gleefully demolished every single aspect of the production, the acting and the reputation of Rattigan himself. If one views the film at face value, as I did, and I can see from other comments from the USA that many other people did too, LIGHTHOUSE is a particularly exquisite romantic drama with glorious cinematography and lush production values. And set on one of the world's most beautiful unknown locations, Rottnest Island. But the media had it in for this film and wherever it played in Australia, it was lambasted by snarly critics, keen to kill it off. However, the female public loved it and word of mouth was quite good. It did play across the country in limited release and to a small appreciative audience. There was a reason for the Australian media to have it in for this production: lead actress Jacqueline MacKenzie was nominated in the 1997 Australian Film Awards for two other films in two equal Best actress categories: one was a Melbourne cinema-movie drama ANGEL HEART and another was a TV movie. As LIGHTHOUSE was filming at the time, the producers and director (incredibly) refused to let her leave the set and briefly travel back to the Eastern States to the Awards night. She was extremely upset. Then, to the collective embarrassment of everyone she won the two awards for both roles, an unheard-of achievement in Australian type "Emmy/Oscar". But she wasn't there to be on stage, she was stuck on the LIGHTHOUSE set, missing out on the one mighty acting awards achievement accolade of her career. As a result, there was an almost mutiny against Director Rattigan and the film was doomed to be the sour blot on his and her career. The actors refused to allow ANY publicity on LIGHTHOUSE, walked through the rest of their roles and laughed out loud at the mention of the film getting released. It is as if collectively the film making, media and acting community were punishing Rattigan for keeping her away from her biggest night. It was an unforgiven blunder and it cost LIGHTHOUSE it's proper release in Australia. The public who did not really know much of this just enjoyed the film, as is evident today, but the media made sure the film was either ridiculed or ignored as payback. Sad but true. Naomi Watts has survived it well though, as KING KONG can attest.

    Inspiring

    I found this to be a most enjoyable and inspiring movie. It makes you almost feel the wind in your hair and you find yourself longing to go to this island. We should all be so lucky to have friends who are willing to go that extra mile to make things happen. I was a bit surprised that a few others had commented on this movie saying it was boring, about nothing and a dud. I felt sorry that they missed the whole point of the film. It's a testament and celebration of true love and enduring friendships. I highly recommend it and can watch it again and again.
