Some details I noticed

I think the most interesting thing is the application of "hands" throughout the article. Hands are the most important thing in the process of communication between the heroine and the murloc. It is good to signal communication, do shy things, and touch each other to convey emotions. It’s a very important way. The shot of her hand passing through the bus window is also very beautiful.
The villain happens to be different from other people. He lost his two fingers very early in the movie. Didn’t try to communicate with the
murloc. The heroine forced her fingers back to him out of reason, on the other hand, because the hands are very important to her, so naturally she also felt that the
whole film was very violent to others as well. The two bloody scenes were also completed by the villain’s fingers. The first was to torture the scientist and put his finger into the bullet hole of the other’s to torture a confession. I saw my goose bumps abruptly, and the sympathy was so strong that I covered my mouth and watched the
other scene. It was he who forcibly broke his finger, because after connecting it, he has been running black water and there are no eggs. He simply broke it, and completely gave up the emotional communication between himself and other people.

The distribution of characters, an inhuman creature. A disabled person, a homosexual, a black person, comforted each other and lived hard, and the distribution was so even that many people felt that it was too politically correct, but because it was too representative, and I really liked the process of close family sympathy between them, it was very warm. I don’t think there is anything wrong, and the incompleteness of the characters discussed throughout the article is very suitable for these little people in that era.

There is a plot setting that is more rigid when the bakery guy rejected the painter’s confession. He was racist...it just so happened to look at the

heroine's shoes very deliberately . At the beginning, she liked a pair of red leather shoes, but finally bought it because she was going to see the hero. It felt super cute. A

little regretful is the ending. , I fully understand the arrangement of the top, echoing a lot of buried foreshadowings also makes the whole plot more reasonable,
but I almost hope that the heroine is human and not other races, although this kind of love will make many people feel uncomfortable, but the interracial perfection of each other. I feel that I can take the film to another level, instead of alone, they are destined to meet each other
Of course, the last paragraph is too dreamy. I don't even think it actually happened. Just like Pan Shen's labyrinth, it uses a fairy tale ending to bring some comfort to the audience?

I hope that I can find more interesting details in the future.

    Have two such good friends still insist on loneliness? ? ?

    No, no, I'm so annoying to this girl, her expression and behavior are so contrived that you want to be rough, can't you find a distressed face to play? After the disaster is over, "The Danish Girl", "The Theory of Everything" and "Where Fantastic Beasts Go" are here again. I'm really thankful for you, I'm blind to a subject that I like so much.

The Shape of Water quotes

  • Giles: Oh! God, to be young and beautiful. If I could go back

    [Elisa nods]

    Giles: to when I was 18 - I didn't know anything about anything - I'd give myself a bit of advice.

    Elisa: [in sign language] What would you say?

    Giles: I would say: Take better care of your teeth and fuck a lot more.

    [Elisa smiles and gently nudges him]

    Giles: Oh no, no, that's very good advice.

  • [last lines]

    Giles: If I told you about her, what would I say? That they lived happily ever after? I believe they did. That they were in love? That they remained in love? I'm sure that's true. But when I think of her - of Elisa - the only thing that comes to mind is a poem, whispered by someone in love, hundreds of years ago: "Unable to perceive the shape of You, I find You all around me. Your presence fills my eyes with Your love, It humbles my heart, For You are everywhere."
