I don't consider it a deserved BP winner, but i cried.

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2018)

Honestly i don't see it as a deserved BP winner. But then it's probably the film that makes me cry worst ever...
What does the Lord look like? Just can't help bursting into tears at that part. We are created in the Lord's image, but who knows what the Lord is like? Everyone's born sick, everyone's born guilty, and the Lord could be like anyone. Just suddenly feel like forgiving myself.
Alright so that's just my beloved bit. When it comes to the movie itself... Ummmm...
A good one, though, a touching one with all those amazing fantasies, all the different forms of love, some of which may not look like love but still is, and all the metaphors and discussions about beauty. However... I mean there must be reasons why everyone's recalling Beauty and the Beast... But being old stuff is not really what i want to judge. For me a good story is worth telling thousands of times in thousands of ways. The thing is, the film is talking just tooooo straight forward.
A crowd of minorities. Well I'm minority myself, and i think there's absolutely no problem to try to be politically correct. But with literally ALL kinds of minorities? I do feel a bit too much. I mean it makes sense to use the disabled, the Black, the gay guy, along with the monster, to reflect discrimination (no offense at all to anyone above). But i don't find it necessary, and do find it crowded, to have ALL these politically correct features. And that just makes the meanings of (anti-) discrimination repetitive and didactic. There could have been more space left out for audiences to think, rather than just directly filling their mind with what you wanna say.
And the ending is... at least for me it's kinda too incredible. Wow suddenly Elisa is a mermaid too!... I know there are clues before, and i understand it's the only possible way to make a happy ending, but i don't feel like i need that. Back to the political correct point, a far-fetched happy ending is more like a pure fairy tale than something thought-provoking.
But again i love the discussion of what the Lord is like and the scene when they make love. It's just BEAUTIFUL. Its music written is a big success too.
