I saw this masterpiece the other day, and if I didn't have to drive an hour in the cold I'd see it again! I highly recommend it. If you haven't seen it and are into interspecies romance(which, I'm not sure why you're watching me if you're not, lol), GO SEE IT. It won a Golden Globe for a reason! Del Toro hasn't let me down once that I can think of! Get this man on a Jurassic movie, STAT!

I didn't feel depressed coming away from this movie, which is more than I can say for the latest Star Wars or the JW:FK trailer. :/ It was a really beautiful love story... a love story between two silent protagonists, which I don't think I've seen done before.

This film had one of the most hateable villains I've ever seen on screen. You just hate him for every reason you could possibly hate a person. Just.... a really good villain. Man, I hate that guy. XD

This film isn't just about fish sex either. It's a period piece set in 1962 and they remind you of this. It's about inequality and bigotry as well, with reminders of sexism and racism and homophobia. You see the daily struggles of these non-normative characters and it's just... so real but still so unreal!

I heard a while back there was to be a remake of Splash! with a male mer, and now I'm wondering... was this it? Or is that a separate thing? Because there certainly are parallels, and that's another of my favorite movies. :3
