Movie of the year? I don't think so.....

Rating: 4/10 (9 March 2018)

I saw "The Shape Of Water" after it won the oscar for the best movie and I have to say I was expecting to see something amazing but........ it wasn't.
The movie had so many wholes and unnecessary parts.....
First things first,. The first scene when Elisa was in the bathroom, in opinion didn't add anything to the story. The nudity had nothing to do with it neither what she was doing but I felt like it was there just to be there.
What I really found wrong was the way Elisa approached the creature. She had just witnessed Strickland having his two fingers cut of clearly by the creature, but she decided to go and sit at the edge of the tank and have a small interaction with it when it good very easily kill her.
One thing that I really didn't like was the fact that it progressed really quickly, from the moment they brought the water creature until the decision to kill it. I would love to see more of their building relationship and how Elisa found ways to approach it .
A few more things that bothered are: 1 when her friend went to the pie shop and he said to the man that worked there " I would like to know you better" and the man said " Get yours hands off of me old man" and literally a moment after that it shows how he is also a racist on top of homophobic, which was so poorly shown if not unnecessary scene . 2 When the creature gets out of Elisa's house. When Elisa finds it, it is in the theater watching a movie when nobody else is there..... I mean why would a movie play if nobody is watching. and 3 when Elisa is watching the creature eating eggs and she is imagining singing and dancing with it. I have to say that I found it absolutely ridiculous.
The ending was just cheesy I will say nothing more
But in all honesty Sally Hawkins played her role beautifully. She is an incomplete person and you can clearly see it I also really liked the relationship she had with her best friend. Even though they were both incomplete they had found ways to make each other forget it for a while.
Over all the message and the acting were really good and remarkable but the whole story was badly executed hence the 4 stars.
