FRIDAY FILM REVIEW "The Shape Of Water"

Just when I thought I've seen it all. Just when I thought I could wrap my head around this whole love spiel. Just when I thought I was getting to know about all different kinds of fetishes: let me be clear, fucking a fish has never crossed my mind.

Del Toro certainly created a visually stunning film, with a masterful sound track and music score but I still can't wrap my head around the whole idea. I don't like giving out spoilers because it defeats the purpose of watching it for yourself, but if you got some free time give the film a shot.

Spoiler alert: Here is the premise of the film in a nutshell. Set in the 1960's, better yet known as the Cold War Era a mute woman falls in love with a fishlike creature after discovering it at her workplace. She saves it by breaking it out of this government secured location, teaches it sign language, they have jam sessions where they listen to some good ol' vinyl records, she feeds it and then like true Hollywood fashion, FUCKS IT. Yes, what I just said... is true. Talk about a love story.

That right there my friends is the beauty of Hollywood. Cinderella escapes a shitty household and meets the man of her dreams at the ball. Sleeping beauty is awoken by a Princes kiss. Yet, no one questions why a grown man would break and enter in a sleeping ladies household. Make his way into her bedroom, and then kiss her while she's sound asleep. What kind of curse is that? To be awoken by molestation. Da fuq? Is it just me with these fucked up thoughts? And secondly what kind of a man wants to kiss a bitch, after she been asleep for god knows how long, a decade? Have you ever smelt your breathe after taking an hour nap? Now imagine amplifying that 365 days (x-times) the amount of years she been resting. Sorry princess, I'm out. Lastly we have Princess Jasmine who defies cultural laws and falls in love with a commoner better yet known as a "street rat" (Jasmine you were my first true love I'll never forget that) and everyone lives happily ever after. I went through great lengths and all of that to say God bless the cinematic vision. Meanwhile I can't get a match on Bumble or even a text back from a Tinder hoe. Cold world out here. That's the real world. That's reality.
