The director uses a classical video style to tell a horrible and interesting story of a B-level film, which metaphors the rejection and destruction of minority groups in the real world. Compared with the simplicity of "Please call me by your name" and "Three Billboards" The radical of "The Shape of Water" is more subtle and obscure. The judgment of any work cannot be separated from the contemporary, and the film fits the spirit of the times in this world. Some people say that the director is catering and speculating, but no one in the world is living for himself in the eyes of others. Even artists who claim to be otherworldly are annoyed that their works are not understood by the world, and angry that others criticize themselves. Homogeneous Oscars also need recognition, even more so for you and me, ordinary people, without exception, because wanting to gain love and recognition is instinct, and recognition is the original driving force of expression, so as a director’s way of expression-image is just an inner catering drive The external appearance of force is nothing more than that, just as we are keen on participating in discussions, expressing opinions, publishing articles, etc., the same reasoning is that it is not a shameful thing to be eager to gain recognition from others. The film "The Shape of Water" won the Oscar for Best Picture does not represent the progress, regression or stagnation of aesthetics, because aesthetics exists in the frame of time, and talking about aesthetics without the frame can only lead to falsehood.
