I don't understand the Oscars

I watched "The Shape of Water" last night, and I couldn't watch it after only half of it. I felt sick when I saw it. I really don't understand what's going on in Hollywood now. As an ordinary person, shouldn't it be fearful to see a monster at a glance? Then after getting familiar with it, you may feel that you still look a bit like a person, try to communicate? What is the logic of falling in love at a glance? As a researcher, if you want to gain effective information, the worst way is to ask questions, okay? Examination is the most unprofitable method of obtaining information. What is the logic of the examination as soon as it comes up? Still want to kill the autopsy at every turn, isn't the sample precious? Still want to do research? The heroine masturbates in the bathtub every morning (the countdown is still limited, take it! In the future, Dongguan IOS can learn from it, and there is no cool substitution when the timer expires.) What does it mean? What does it have to do with the plot? Just to satisfy a good (tou) odd (kui) strong (yu) audience like me, forcibly ripped off the heroine? Or do you fall in love with monsters at first sight because of a strange fetish caused by chronic sexual thirst? Or because she is a woman, she must have the halo of the Virgin and must be unsympathetic? The lighting is beautiful and the special effects are good, but shouldn't the core of the movie be the story? With this scriptwriting method, the rationality of the story has been completely abandoned. How can the audience be involved in the play and how can the audience resonate? Or is it that I can't keep up with the times, and the audience now doesn't care about these at all, and only looks at the special effects?

[Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival Screening] Very disappointed. A romantic adult fairy tale about the love of a dumb girl and a water monster, a live-action version of "Song of Dew that Proclaims Dawn". The story is clichéd and uninspired, and the Cold War background is slightly out of touch. The whole looks like works from the 1970s. The shape of the water monster is retro and simple, interspersed with many classic songs and movie songs and dances, and even has a deliberate sense of deliberately overwhelming guests. Salute for the sake of tribute. Sally Hawkins's acting is outstanding and deserves praise

It is too ordinary, and there is almost nothing to be praised.

Giles: [shows Elisa his artwork] Ta-dah. That's not bad, is it?
[chuckles; Elisa shakes her head]
Giles: For being shit!
[giggles]
Elisa: [in sign language] It's not shit.
Giles: Ah - listen: You eat, you go to bed, you rest...
[grabs jacket]
Giles: And when I - get paid...
[sighs and does a twirl; pause]
Giles: We get pie.
Elisa: [in sign language] Nothing for me.
Giles: No, we don't get pie. I get pie! You get whatever you want!
[laughing]
Giles: Hahhh.
[gently touches her face]
Giles: Wish me luck.
Elisa: [in sign language] Good luck.
[Alice Faye singing on TV: "Then I have only this to say..."; Giles looks back and smiles]

Strickland: But we're created in the Lord's image. You don't think that's what the Lord looks like, do you?
Zelda: I wouldn't know, sir, what the Lord looks like.
Strickland: Well, it's human, Zelda. He looks like a human, like me. Or even you. Maybe a little more like me, I guess.

Some people say that the heroine fell in love with the beast because of dissatisfaction with desire
