Movie Thread

The Shape of Water is great. Funny how people can’t get over a love story between a creature and a mute girl, but somehow the story of surgically putting white people into black people doesn’t raise any eyebrows. (This is coming from someone who really enjoyed Get Out).

This year didn’t have a bonafide slam dunk Best Picture, but there were a ton of great A- movies.

I haven't seen The Shape of Water, mainly because I'm not a fan of Del Toro's style of story telling. I respect him, and his work, but it's not for me. But I think the core difference is that Del Toro's film isn't supposed to be horror while Get Out is.

Dunkirk was truly brilliant, but I didn't expect it to win because it wasn't auteur enough. It was a brutal film that wore you down, those films don't usually do well at the Oscars.
