To tell you the truth, at first I thought it was a disgusting film similar to the Jianghan monster, but I didn’t expect it to be a poor mermaid. Although it also looks ugly, I watched it and the heroine carefully. The love is very beautiful and warm.
Well, apart from the appearance of the protagonist who has been complained by many people and some plot grooves, maybe these won't justify winning the Oscar, but it's a veritable best. Do you know why?
First of all, there is no doubt about the acting skills. The heroine Sally Hawkins plays a dumb girl without lines. She relies on expressions, sign language, eyes, and other body movements to support her. She expresses this flawed but very smart, bold and courageous. The heroine's performance is very convincing. Lonely, she bathes and masturbates every day. She is optimistic and kind but longs for love. Such a minority is overwhelmed by Sally's infectious power. No matter how good the plot is, it will be ruined by bad actors. Anyone who has watched Sally's "Mo Di" knows that her appearance is not beautiful at all, but her acting skills are really godlike, so maybe this drama is considered a plot It's not necessarily the case that a simple movie is played by another person. A good actor is really the soul of a movie, and of course other roles are also good.
Back to the movie More and more people in the mainstream can accept and face it calmly. Of course, after watching this movie, it is not for you to really engage in animal love.
The probability of this is of course very small, except for those heavy tastes, please feel free. I think this film just uses this new and suspicious theme to express some things that cannot be directly expressed directly, but the outdated theme has been replaced with an attractive shell! For example, it only exaggerates the power of tolerance. It is omnipotent. It does not discriminate against the way of others. It can produce beauty and love.
Have you ever thought about why the heroine Alisha is a dumb character instead of being able to speak, because the dumb girl is a marginal person who belongs to the human society; and why her good friend Zelda is Black, because she is also a minority; and Gilles, an old friend who lives with Alyssa, he is gay, and he is also an alien who is not recognized; in the end, there is the male protagonist Yu Nan, who is even more human Not even a thing. So they all belong to the minority and are not accepted by the mainstream crowd. They can only resist the darkness by holding a group to keep warm. Otherwise, they can only be humiliated and slaughtered by pure white admirers like Richard. Isn't this a satire of human dictatorship class story? Of course, the deeper point is why the class division is so serious. Apart from discrimination and violence, there are more hidden things, such as how to change and how to fight. If you can't fight head-on, should you expect your mind to wake up? Like the class represented by Richard, he is only willing to issue orders and insult the class he rejects, but Alyssa will express it when she is angry. It’s just a sign language that he can’t understand. The reality is that too many people have no courage and can only say something. It's just that the other party doesn't understand, are you comforting yourself? No wonder the screenwriter wrote a good ending, but the reality is often much harder
No matter how dumb, black, gay or weak women are born, they should not be inferior and can only be trampled, humiliated and slaughtered. They also need to be listened to instead of being scolded. They also have the same mind and needs that can think and operate. Hearts of love and affection, they have the right to love and choose. Only people like Richard who want to destroy the aliens have truly lost their humanity, and when Alyssa saw the male mermaid, she chose to tolerate him, respect his life, give him love and warmth, they can't speak I don't even have the right to issue orders, but two lonely hearts are close... The story is written so beautifully that I see that people and fish can have legendary and beautiful love stories. Insurmountable class and thick bridges of discrimination? Is this a fairy tale? This is a story of irony and reflection. Is this disgusting? this is beautiful
Probably a beautiful vision, even if it never comes true. There is still soft power in story expression
