‘Shape of Water’ director: Movies should lead to one world and erase national sovereignty
The Washington Times ^ | March 4, 2018 | Victor Morton

The “immigrant” theme dominated the acceptance speech, and not for the first time Sunday, in one of the major Oscar categories — the best director award.

Fantasy director Guillermo Del Toro won the Oscar for his film “The Shape of Water” and leaped right into the matter and said movies should lead to one world and erase national sovereignty.

Yeah, he did

Leftists, especially Jewish ones, should all be forced to watch WW II films.

Too bad there isn’t a reality machine that could turn each one into a teenaged Marine hitting the beaches on Iwo Jima

She kidnaps him from the lab, brings him back to her apartment and has sex with him...perfect metaphor for where these people would like to see the culture head - no difference between a real live and maybe handsome, tenderhearted man and some lizard creature, no difference between MS-13 gangbangers and your kindly, friendly next door neighbor, no difference between any LKQGBST whatever the latest set of letters is person and your straight loving spouse, no difference between anybody and anybody else - we're all equal in one grey mush, and anybody who objects to that must be destroyed to keep us all the same......

In a Godless society the power of the Strong Man is absolute. His goal is to rule the world. One world government grows out of the tyranny of the strong man. It has no other function. It serves no other purpose. If freedom and human dignity were the goal small, local government would exist. Where people govern themselves there is peace and prosperity. Where people are governed by vast, monolithic oligarchs humanity dies.

He reminds me of "Comic Book Guy" from The Simpsons.

I really hated his movie Pan's Labyrnith. First of all, it had a stupid cliched political plot -- evil fascist stepfather. Secondly, it had a lot of unimpressive visual effects -- and they're even less impressive a dozen years later. Third, it was all about brutality and cruelty - torturing a child to death.

But a lot of critics loved it, calling it the best movie of the year and one of the best movies of the century. True, it wasn't very far into the new century when it came out, but I didn't get why the critics were so enthusiastic about it. Was it just the political message (which really wasn't anything to write home about)?

Other stuff that I've seen by him was equally unimpressive -- Cronos, Crimson Peak, Pacific Rim. He's one of those directors whose movies start out looking like somewhat interesting realistic dramas, but then he drags in the kitchy monsters, and you lose interest.

Anyway, it's only a matter of time before a sex scandal comes out and he has to give the award back.

“Guillermo Del Toro ...said movies should lead to one world and erase national sovereignty.”:

Given the vast majority of the world is ruled by authoritarian governments, why would a”liberal assume it would be respectful if human rights>”

Those who want to keep our sovereignty vs those who want One World.

When they say "One World" they really mean a place full of happy-sappy LGBT people hoping to get away with their behavior. No such thing as morals or laws (except diversity, diversity, diversity).

Their messianic ideal.

The message conveyed in THE SHAPE OF WATER was the evilness of straight white men and the celebration of anyone -- or anything -- different. I left the theater feeling like I had been had.

Well they're going to be surprised when they find out when they get their One World Leader, that they'll be first up against the wall.

Never understood the attraction of “Pacific Rim”

Glorified Godzilla movie.

I believe Del Toro ruined “The Hobbit”(writer)

UCK. Sex with lizards? No thanks. You wouldn’t see me at a movie like that if it were the only film playing. The fact that it took the big prize tells you all about the depravity of Hollyweird.


I cannot understand anyone wanting to see this movie. To be entertaining, science fantasy or fiction must have an element of believably. This story line is just bizarre. Is Hollywood on drugs?

I felt that way about this film. It was stylish, and even well-acted, but it left a sour taste in my mouth. I hated the liberal message.

Apparently it's evil nowadays to be normal. Whereas anyone else, even an animal, would be naturally terrified at this creature, the weird or the downtrodden gravitate toward him. Because we all know they're "special."

Huh - they don’t even include in that list the fact that you can’t fill an entire bathroom up to the ceiling with water from the bathtub just by closing the door.

Go show your movie in Tehran and tell that to the mullahs. Or in Ramadi.... Or Saudi Arabia... or name any other of the twenty different nations where this enlightened artist would get his head cut off.

I’ll stick with the Saturday Night horror movies on the retro-TV station.
