My girlfriend and I called it "the Fish F***er Movie" and that is really what it is...but it's also green, very, very green.

Ever wondered how Abe from Hellboy had sex? Well this movie explains it.

But honestly, it isn't bad. It's a total period piece. It's beautiful, I mean it is very beautiful, and it has a story.

But, yeah, the thing about it is that it's beautiful AND has a story. The English Patient, Brokeback Mountain, they were just beautiful and beauty alone with no story behind it is boring. The Fisk F***** Movie had both.

And, yeah, the story is something we are used to. It was the good, friendly monster that had to be rescued by the mean nasty government plot and, especially if you are a child of the 80s, it works. It's a plot that we've seen over and over again...only in kids movies.

This Fish F***er movie, the plot is made for adults, so less adventure and fart jokes and a lot more beauty slightly deeper issues, issues that equate homosexual and racial issues to being the outsider that matters...in the right way. Not the immature and racist way that we see in Black Panther and Get Out...

...so it's refreshing to see that handled subtly and politely and still make the point.

Subtle and polite hardly go hand in hand with a serious point now days.

The Shape of Water was able to hint at a point, still entertain, and, well, do it in a way that was so beautiful it was mesmerizing.
