Black man as the real monster

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 2018)

I could have loved the Shape of Water if the second villain in the movie was not a ridiculous depiction of a black man. Brewster, husband of Octaviia's character, was depicted as lazy, fearful of the white man, not protective of his black wife and above all else the snitch who could have caused the death of our heros and lovers. Usually the black man is the first to die in such movies. This time he lived but at what cost.
