A green vitamin

"The Shape of Water" is good, but not good enough. The good thing is that it is willing to use underachievers, willing to play seriously, and shoot a short story with big hands. Only filmmakers in the nineties dare to do this.
What's not good enough is that it thinks too clearly and is too calculating. Every line and every plot is carefully designed. The identity of the marginal person, the background of the Cold War, the comparison of beauty and ugliness, the relationship between humans and gods. Relationship, the whole story is based on "Notre Dame de Paris", all things that can be written in film reviews are all exposed.
There are no extra lines and plots, no extra emotions, no useless metaphors, no passages that the director himself doesn’t know why they filmed, and I think that in a good movie, there must be some directors who don’t know why they did it. paragraph.
It is not a vegetable, but a handful of vitamins, albeit a handful of green vitamins.
