Review of The Shape of Water (2017) by Budokai — 25 Mar 2018

Aside from looking good, this movie feels incomplete, the narratives feel forced and the characters are underdeveloped. So here we are again, yet ANOTHER high profile movie that wants to beat us over the head with self-righteous platitudes about how white men are responsible for all evils.

I mean, was there ANY other morale to be taken away from this story? It's a sad, sad day when a great, original filmmaker like GUILLERMO DEL TORO succumbs the current day groupthink that has contaminated and ruined so many movies that have had such great potential.

Instead, we get this regurgitation of pop culture, progressive rhetoric designed to brainwash the masses against actually forming opinions based on empirical evidence and independent thought.
