I watched it after it won an award. Honestly, there's nothing wrong with the movie itself, but it doesn't impress me. What the whole film wants to call for is what this society lacks: true love, beauty, goodness and beauty. The director made the film flawless and made it "look perfect." Compared to this series of looks, I prefer the special-looking "Three Billboards". The same is resistance, one is the escape of marginalized people, the other is the isolation of social people, the latter needs more energy! Of course, I'm not surprised that The Shape of Water won the Oscar. Which Oscar-winning film is not my taste? There was a topic on Zhihu that talked about the Oscar scoring system, so the best film selected will be the one that is more moderate and can’t go wrong.
