The Shape of Water

This guy did literally nothing wrong. Am I supposed to hate the guy who DOESN'T want a fish monster running loose? Why? Just cause Sally Hawkins' needed something to fuck?

I still wish he raped the mute.

Would have given a reason to hate him.

Why bother mentioning his sudden urge for silence during sex with his wife, if you are not planning to follow through with a rape?

There is a bizarre narrative in this movie. It looks like he's the bad guy because he's a heterosexual male. They made a point to show him living in a nice residential area with a nice wife and kids and he fucks her good.
The good guys are an old fag and a mute incel woman who is into animals. We can see a woman dancing with a guy disguised as a horse on the television. I think it's disturbing.
Is Guillermo doing his coming out with this movie?
The guy in pic related did a good job though, he was quite the creep with his mints.

if he didn't want a fishman running around then maybe he should've left it in the jungle pond where he found it?

We all agree that the random musical interlude was fucking stupid right?

I think the point was that he was just following orders and trying to prove himself. I didn't get the vibe that he had any personal vendetta against the mute.

The soundtrack was horrible, made by a french guy

Absolutely not. It was gorgeous, so necessary, very deserved.

But it's definitely not suitable for children, what was the director thinking?

>so necessary
>cause it wasn't already explained in an overtly blatant way why she was in love with the fish guy
brainlet detected

The fish gave her a voice. She was able to belt out a song and dance like the movies she was watching. It was about her being complete. You sir, are the brainlet.

Lol are you 12 fucking years old? Of course he is a villain. His whole way of thinking, and outlook on life. Grow up faggot

>Is Guillermo doing his coming out with this movie?

No, you're just looking at it in an identitarian way that Gormo was not.

For Guillermo it's about outcasts vs mainstream. Strickland is a white guy, sure, but that's just part of being the spitting image of 50's success. He's got a nice suburban home, a nice car, a steady job, a blonde wife and 2.5 kids, he's completely normal other than the high-secrecy government work. By the standards of the day, he's a complete success. Our heroes are weirdo outcasts that masturbate every day or try to hit on pie-shop attendants, whose "success" is either scrubbing toilets or painting posters in a dying industry. It's meant to be a classic subversion of social hierarchy, outcasts winning over the top brass. It's not "bizarre," it's par for the fucking course in movies from the fucking silent era to now.

...

Are you fucking retarded? Genuine question

Will I like this movie if I don't hate straight white men or ethnonationalists?

Stick to capeshit.

not an argument

This is your brain on jewish brainwashing

Don't need one. If you can't do anything but resort to insults because you're too fucking dense to see subtext then I can't help you.

>subtext

No but Michael Shannon is always great.

Michael Shannon's character values silence. That's why he wants to fuck the mute.

The post below yours kind of shows it's not just a completely imaginary thing to see messages in Del Toro's work.
