The racist, homophobic pastry chef

>the racist, homophobic pastry chef
Why was this included? Good movie though.

D-did anyone see it? Sally Hawkins gets completely nude and fucks the fish monster.

Someone reply to my fucking thread

Cant find it anywhere online user. Do u have a torrent link or something to watch it?
The trailer gave me Bioshock vibes

>tv
>watching good movies
Bruh

Saw it in the theater today, sorry. Did Bioshock give you 1950s/Cold War tech-war era vibes? Because that's what the movie is about basically.

Great movie. The soundtrack, art direction and characters were the strongest points. Better than Pan's Labyrinth. Guillermo Del Toro needs to make more like this.

She hides a great little body that's for sure. Ass looked tasty.

You can walk into an American movie theater today and watch a woman get violently fucked by a mermaid man..

What a time to be alive

Movie was great by the way. Saw it last night. How good it was exponentially increased in my mind having seen the last jedi the night before.

In the shape of water the parts meant to be funny were actually funny. The emotional parts were actually pretty sad. The gore parts actually made me wince.

Basically an instance of a guy getting his fingers ripped off caused a significantly greater audience reaction than a guy in star wars getting cut in half where the theater was silent except for some man child who tried to start a slow clap..

the finger/Samson scene was fantastic. Michael Shannon has the two best scenes in the movie and that's one of them. The other is his last conversation with the general.

It was weird to see this guy's vice interview the other day, i always imagined the guy to be sophisticated and reserved kike dude but instead he turns out to be this fat unkempt lisping fuck

He's very much a child in a fat adult's body. I bet he plays with toy dinosaurs in his house when no one's watching.

yes!

>del taco
>good

kek

bioshock is about an underwater ayn randian society where everyone is an insane mutant with access to guns and superpowers. i dont really see an anolalllog

This one was good. He's not really a good director, though. The art direction and the characters carry the movie.

>del toro
>not good
y'all motherfuckers need a beating

The Shape of Water > The Devil's Backbone > Pan's Labyrinth > Blade 2 > Pacific Rim > Hellboy > Hellboy 2: The Golden Army > Crimson Peak > Mimic

Have not seen Cronos yet.

I went in thinking it was a hellboy tie-in...

Stayed for the bathtub masturbation.

Swap Pan's Labyrinth and Shape of Water and I'll agree.

If Shape of Water didnt have the fish monster sex scene/and or more development of the fish man to justify the sex scene, OR the musical number was longer I would have considered it his best

Because this ultimately was a social justice movie just with a creature replacing a minority.

it was. no denying that.

>Sup Forums is leaking again
Guillermo himself explained that the movie was inspired by his love for creature from the Black Lagoon and other monster movies, and also his overall disapointment in that the monster never fell in love or had a happy ending
>be fat nerdy beaner
>cant relate to alpha white chads in 50s horror movies
>relates more to monsters
This was ultimately the inspiration for the film

>one of the few directors who does the folklore fantasy right
>tries to turn everything he touches into social commentary
Pains me to see it, but not as much as it pained me to see him talk about Pan's Labyrinth's Pale Man as a purposeful comment against the evil white man.

>>Sup Forums is leaking again
>Guillermo himself explained that the movie was inspired by his love for creature from the Black Lagoon and other monster movies
ok, he also explained that "This movie is a healing movie for me. ... For nine movies I rephrased the fears of my childhood, the dreams of my childhood, and this is the first time I speak as an adult, about something that worries me as an adult. I speak about trust, otherness, sex, love, where we're going. These are not concerns that I had when I was nine or seven."

>As one who knew back in 1977 that Close Encounters of the Third Kind was cinematically superior to Star Wars, I remain unmoved by new iterations of George Lucas’s blockbuster. But the generations whose attention spans have been altered by this most vaunted of all film series should still appreciate how Rian Johnson’s geek loyalty surpasses that of Guillermo del Toro’s sci-fi political fantasy The Shape of Water.

>This time, del Toro moves the idiotic political allegory of his 2006 Pan’s Labyrinth (a 1930s-set Spanish Civil War fantasy) to America during the Civil Rights era. Uninterested in social realities, del Toro aims for seriousness through dark whimsy (“dark” being the preferred perspective of fanboys and critics). But what, exactly, does a mute Mexican immigrant janitoress, Elisa Esposito (Sally Hawkins, wasting the genius she displayed in Maudie), have to do with the black struggle against Jim Crow? How does her romance with an amphibious monster, captured for government experimentation during the Cold War, express the thwarted desires of U.S. citizens whose ancestors were oppressed? Why is her protective co-worker a sassy and stoic black woman (Octavia Spencer) with a Stepin Fetchit husband? Why is her best friend a gay artist (Richard Jenkins) who is scared of expressing his own sexuality? Why does her nemesis, a security official at the science lab (Michael Shannon), stand in for white supremacist bigotry?

>Del Toro exploits these questions and the social and historical ignorance of Hollywood’s politically correct brigade. (His title suggests a misinterpretation of the proto-Obama metaphor in James McBride’s celebrated race memoir The Color of Water.) This mash-up of alien and immigrant hardship, in which lonely Elisa finds sexual release with a sea creature, is pervy, ridiculous, and humorless. The more maudlin this story gets, the harder del Toro presses PC buttons.

>The film’s freakish sentimentality derives from Lenin’s maxim “No profit in last week’s fish.” As spoken by one character, that line sounds like del Toro’s credited allies the Coen Brothers, which exposes the snark at the base of del Toro’s left-wing sappiness.

>Mexican del Toro ignores the politics of his own nation. It’s the same career strategy as that followed by Alfonso Cuarón and Alejandro González Iñárritu (they brand themselves “The Three Amigos”), seeking the easy approval and esteem of those who enjoy seeing American political problems trivialized as escapist fantasy — as also done in Gravity and The Revenant. Del Toro fails to give his Creature from the Black Lagoon/Swamp Thing thing any characterization. It’s just a repugnantly eroticized figure of chain immigration

>The Shape of Water hasn’t yet inspired opportunistic political interpretations like the 2005 Star Wars: Revenge of the Siths. (“So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause” a silly aphorism that actually presaged the Obama era.) This film’s fish-and-female premise merely combines sexual masochism with political self-righteousness and cinematic cluelessness (Del Toro’s movie references include a dismal Astaire and Rogers musical homage). To think this movie is just fantasy is to drown in stupidity.

I don't see the social justice element with the monster. It does have scenes with the "bad guys" being openly racist and homophobic, but I don't think it's over the top, and it pretty much let's the audience draw their own conclusions.

>that 2nd paragraph
Jesus Christ Guillermo what the fuck are you doing

Pan's Labyrinth is set in 1940s. Spanish civil war ended in 1939.

Armond in general doesn't know history and doesn't understand culture of European and Asian countries. He often misunderstands foreign political films.

This is completely wrong.
