      I didn't particularly like Shape of Water but it's cool if you did. Felt like the inclusion message was reductive (like checking off a diversity checklist) and the "love story" felt coersive, what choice did the fishman have? Torture or this lady who became obsessed with him.

          I get it that it may have not been everyone's cup of tea. However, it's a long time coming for del Toro to be recognized for his work. I personally was also rooting for "Get Out" however am stoked that it won for best screen writing.

          I definitely feel he had an Oscar coming at some point in his career. Personally, I feel some of his other movies deserved it more than this one.

          Many of del Toro's work over the years has been about "us vs. them" theme. He tells of his experience about how growing up he felt as an outsider never belonging. He also draws from current political situations that are happening right now.

          I had completely the same reaction. And she didnt only mention his agency but his lack of personality. We never understand anything about his personal life and ideas aside from imprisonment. And how the MC kinda fetishised the fish man.

          He tried to undress her first, and she rejected him, then changed her mind. I thought it was a clever way to present Beauty and the Beast as well as tackle the colonialist, often racist and homophobic message of 50s monster films.

          I loved Shape of Water, but that's an excellent critical take. Hopefully next time the amazing fish people will have as much agency as the clever, plucky everyday people escaping their everyday lives.

          Interesting and thoughtful POV @anitasarkeesian I didn’t much like it either Something that spoiled it for me was seeing Michael Shannon as yet another unhinged villain and the great Richard Jenkins as yet another aloof, slightly wacky, good-hearted sidekick.

          It takes a unique level of pessemessism to draw those things out of this story. I'm not a TSOW defender...wasn't a huge fan...but, coercion and obsessive? That's what you saw? No other possible motives or interpretations? Interesting window into your paradigm.
