The comment was too long, so I had to post it as a movie review - "The Shape of Water"

Interspecies love? In the end, the heroine is not human... I have absolutely no idea what this movie is about, and the motives of the characters are very casual. The biggest flaw is the mediocrity of the plot. The director does not have the ability to turn corruption into magic. After mediocrely telling a mediocre story, the only good thing is the ending, but it is also the most popcorn. Everything is untenable. The heroine is a fool who is late every day and cuts in line. The ugly stroke of the male protagonist has no cross-species beauty. These two people who only know how to hurt others but don't know how to be grateful have had unfounded love, which is not touching at all!

    It's too boring. Why did you fall in love with this frog all of a sudden? Just because his butt is very cocked? That paragraph that should have become the cornerstone of emotional logic is the weakest. Sally's expression of feeding eggs is like feeding a cat to a dog, and dancing to a glass jar is just like venting loneliness for too long. There is no effective communication at all, where is the love? [I originally loved fairy tales as well as spinning tops. Even Scarlet Mountain was given four stars, but this one is too ostentatious. Finally, the scar became a cheek plus one star.

    Many people commented, why is it always "Beauty and the Beast", can't you take a picture of "Handsome Guy and Mother Beast"? I remember a similar story in Liao Zhai, saying that a businessman went to sea to do business, entered the country of Yasha by mistake, and was lucky enough to marry a dominatrix, and successfully gave birth to a pair of small Yasha. The ready-made story depends on whether there is a director willing to make it. After the filming is sent to Venice, it may be another golden lion.

The Shape of Water quotes

  • Giles: [to the Amphibian Man sitting in the bathtub] Have you always been alone?

    [pause]

    Giles: Did you ever have someone? Do you know what happened to you, do you? Because I don't. I don't know what happened to me.

    [laughs]

    Giles: I don't know! I look in the mirror and the only thing I recognize, are these eyes. In this old man's face. You know sometimes I think I was either born too early or too late for my life. Maybe we're both just relics.

  • Zelda: [after questioning Elisa about her evening] Lor'...! Never trust a man. Even when he looks flat down there.
