"The Shape of Water," directed by The Mexican death house guillermo del toro in 2018, won four oscars on its 90th birthday.
"Yes, you do."
So what does the film say? In short, the film is a story of a lonely girl who breaks through the ethical barriers and falls in love with the fish, and eventually settles down in the sea.
How does that sound? Does it sound like a little mermaid at first? Beautiful, fresh and low age. So the film won the artistic youth and the heart soft maiden's quack, many of the audience tears in the scene. Even "The Shape of Water" is a great potential for a new generation of chicken soup, and will appear in your circle of friends for a long time.
"Love is like water. It has thousands of shapes. Maybe you can't touch it, but it will surround you gently."
It has become the latest indicator of chicken soup.
But, as your cold old friend and one of the chicken soup trotters, I grew up watching all the ghosts and goblins from my childhood, and a pair of eyes that tell the truth about the traitor. I think this one is really weird. At the very least, when you put the fishman and the other beautiful mermaid together, will you be able to do that?
Infiltrated the people inside the fish monster, mixed into the mermaid to love the luxury package.
And a lot of people feel a kind of indescribable feeling after seeing, say to smell a fish smell. This feels right.
Because "The Shape of Water" is a surface that is small and fresh and politically correct, but it's part of The movie. The result of this mismatch is: neither love nor sulu.
“What is ksuru? ”
The term is a long way off for the masses, but for the cold culture researchers, the three words are the bible.
Cthulhu, a mythological system created by American novelist h. p. Lovecraft, is a very scary and pessimistic system. In simple terms, the dabie-sulu myth world view is that, in human civilization, the world also coexist with the huge, ancient monster, the monster existing way and level of civilization is not human understandable, that even if the human look, will be crazy.
So it's not intuitive, you know.
The model of the world of xulu: grand, unnamable, beyond human imagination.
Some people say, what's The relationship between this and The Shape of Water? You're cheating. In fact, "The Shape of Water" is a variation of The xuru story. The evidence is as follows:
"The Shape of Water" director toro is a monster deep lover, and his most revered genius is Lovecraft, The author of The myth of The xulus. Toro and the horror novelist Stephen king and fantasy novelist Neil gayman call it "three gay men".
Toro often shows his reverence for The Call of Cthulhu and its author:
"He (h. p. rove kraft) make you realize that the human the scale small, in the universe and his most clearly expressed the view that it is that the old gods is indifferent to human beings. Lovecraft projects the visible nothingness into the infinite universe.
He also frequently retweeted the message on twitter about ksuru:
"This is the best xuru I've ever seen."
Taking part in offline activities, I am crazy about the products of xulu culture:
"T-shirts are good, but I may not wear them."
So toro wants to take the heart of khuru, everyone knows.
As early as 2011, toro you want to put in "The Call of Cthulhu" masterpiece "At The Mountains of Madness" screen, by James Cameron, as a producer, Tom cruise, but it is expensive, it costs $150 million, and definitely will be rated R, so being universal mercilessly.
"Crazy mountains" would be like this if it were made into a movie.
What if big boss doesn't want to invest money? It's in other movies, and it's under the belt.
It looks like a harmless "The Shape of Water". In the movie the mermaid from the amazon rainforest, by local native deified, not only the power of his wound, and rapid healing and skill to cure healing skills for others, the key is that the mermaid, can and people make love.
How do people close to science mate with fish?
Do you know where this prototype came from? In "The Call of Cthulhu", it is called "The shadow of Innsmouth". Printing, Portsmouth, an ancient town in Massachusetts, the town has a called "Dagon secret to teach" cult, they will sacrifice to the bottom of the sea ahriman human Dagon (Dagon), in exchange for the rich to catch fish.
This dagon, the retinue of the gods, is the lower of the old masters, and many of his visual works depict him as an enormous fish figure.
The Dagon in The xuru myth, like The fish in The Shape of Water.
To say "The Shape of Water" in The mermaid and no relation, dagon killed I don't believe, if you saw The shadow of The Innsmouth "will find that" The Shape of Water "is its counterpart.
"Bleak Night;" Alan Moore, the author of a work called Neonomicon,
Also in the context of the czarus myth, the relationship between mermen and women,
There is a scene in which we compare with "The Shape of Water".
“Remove the romantic pants.”
After The introduction of The world view, I can understand that many people have seen "The Shape of Water", which is strange to me. I always feel that this kind of merman intersect is not only unreasonable, but also some factors of discomfort. That's right, "The Shape of Water, put The grams of The dabie-sulu worldview to pure and fresh, after all, for you and a deep sea fish man spluttered pa, and dive to The sea forever too his mama b, must add some romantic ornament, or at The box office must rush toward street!
Some people are more honest, according to the normal logic to beat xulu, so no fire.
In 2001, a little-known American horror film director, Stuart Gordon, made a film called Dagon, which was called Dagon.
The Dagon
The film is relatively crude, but it has faithfully restored The shadow of Innsmouth, which is a Yin and Yang version of "The Shape of Water".
The hero of the film boarded a Spanish town because of the difficulty of the boat. Small town atmosphere is very strange, all residents of a white and bloodless complexion, Shape, rickets with even webbed between your fingers, there are three floor on The neck, this, is in The Shape of Water The heroine of The same?
The inhabitants of the town were born to the women who had been sacrificed to dagon, and they would evolve and become fish, living on the bottom of the sea, gaining immortality and becoming a deep submergence.
I seriously doubt that The merman in "The Shape of Water" has 93.67 percent chance of being a deep diver who has evolved.
It's not as cute as the scuba diver.
"Dagon" the mermaid high priest keeps seducing the man, hoping that the hero can go with her to Dagon, become a deep submergence, and live happily ever after.
And at the end of the movie, they both literally fell into the sea and headed for the unknown.
Is it not The same as "The Shape of Water"? It's just the gender of the man and the fish.
It's better than me.
But you know, at The end of The "Dagon" is how to fall and despair, male master finally abandoned himself to human identity, eventually succumb to diablo evil forces of The bottom, and The Shape of Water, with a not entirely convincing love midlothian, will all The possibility of darkness to kill.
Under the premise that the mermaid knew little about the mermaid, she gave up her human life and became a would-be diver. Did she know where she was going? She knew what life she was about to face.
“Better to make a movie than anything?”
You might say, "The Shape of Water" is about The love relationship between different kinds of people, so many gods and monsters.
Even if we don't talk about ksulu, the point is that the love in the film is just not true at all. You are not eason, you must see the truth because we are both strange.
If you like weirdos, I'm beautiful.
The most important thing is that the merman is a species that is not the same as the human world, and many people feel that it is normal. Don't forget, a cat in the movie is yelling at it, and he bites the cat's head with a mouth. The unjustifiable love story of this kind is only the sentimental vein of the packaging, a detailed analysis makes people feel super cheap, full of loopholes.
If you don't believe me, you replace The merman in The Shape of Water with a terrorist:
The U.S. government has arrested a terrorist who wanted to destroy the world in a secret prison. The woman is a cleaner in the prison, because she often cleans her cell, and the heroine falls in love with a prisoner who has no sense of the word or world view, because they are "marginalized groups" in society. After learning that the man was about to be shot by the us government, the woman masterminded a prison escape, and the two men went to the terrorist's home together.
In this way, is The love of "The Shape of Water" a little untenable?
To get the audience to ignore it, toro has set up a villain, a racist who sexually harass a female employee. At the end, the racist elder brother was killed, he was killed, and the merman cut his throat.
The racial discriminator who nearly overcame the evil spirit of the czarus.
Why does it look like this? At the end of the day, toro wants to satisfy both his ksulu film dream and the box office and the judge's word of mouth. So make this wacky sandwich cookie.
But as grams of total heavyweight toro fans, tied a g the dabie-sulu myth render deep subject, made into a film is permeated with optimistic atmosphere of political right, this kind of want to entrainment bootleg but unintelligent again creation attitude, let a person feel speechless.
Real crewe Sue genre, is quite serious deep, such as John carpenter's short "In the expressions using of Madness", set "the Necronomicon", even slightly rough Dagon, and carefully follow the original temperament.
Too much political correctness, you know, is the cheapest. They embrace the world with their untenable love and peace, and think that their world view is the ultimate standard of the world and the universe, giving them only four big words: "blind optimism".
And the kusulu philosophy is the opposite, it seems dark and obscure, but it's a thousand and a thousand, and the ksuru philosophy is profound in his view that the universe is chaotic. It would be madness to understand the universe in the light of human intelligence. So humans should be cautious and humble about the future and the universe.
Therefore, the bizarre love affair may win the audience's popularity, and wei's three standards may capture Oscar's favor. But on the level of thought, these are all over the clouds, just like a can of artificial sugar sweet, not as a drop of bitter coffee to make people sober, to the aftertaste.
