My girlfriend translated this part for me. It was glorious because she interpreted it by flashing me the middle finger when I asked (1/2)
what she was signing. I almost took offense, like hey I'm genuinely asking a question here. (2/2)

I tried to reply in sign language but I couldn’t find the finger keys

I just realized i never finished that movie. What a silly thing to do.

This movie was absolute shit.

I could not stop thinking about Bioshock when I saw this movie...

Even without the 'water' reference, the color grading and lighting definitely was reminiscent of Bioshock.

When I was in school I was told learning sign language was a good way to stimulate your brain. This is literally the only thing I learned.
TargaX
Did your brain feel stimulated?
VodkaReindeer
You learned two things if you count the fact your just posted.
Edgezard
I know sign language for "tree" and "more". My mom taught us "more" when we were little and couldn't talk. So we could ask for more food.
Astro4545
Just say hi in ASL but do it from beneath your chin. Kind of like a flick.
Heidasaurus
It's more like "Thank you", but you start behind your chin
Devante
This movie ended up kind of grossing me out.
NeneJPhilly
When she first puts her hand up, I auto thought “fuck you” & then it went on. I have no idea why I went there.
arbanblade
Why the fuck do movies like this intersectional load of bullshit keep winning best picture?

Im assuming they used American Sign Language in the film. (Would be neat if there was an alternate version.)

water is whatever shape the container is it is in
zenoshogun
Unless its frozen, or maybe gaseous.
ninjaguineapig
If it's frozen, it holds the shape of the last container it was in. If it's gaseous, it expands to fill its container.
FunkyKick
ice is just water that's stuck in the past
sjbrooksy7447
Actually it can hold its own shape for a fraction of second.
triscuit3000
but what if it's not in a container? v
well in 0G like in space it will form a sphere because that is the most stable form possible and when there is gravity present it will
try to balance itself out by spreading out around the object as much as possible. aka form a puddle

Best part of the movie.

Bassaker
That's actual correct.
PoonieUK
Yeah. Apparently she’s Kevin Costners’ great great great great granny and this is a Waterworld prequel.
Ha. That was the first thing I said when we got out of the theater. Said, "Man, that was like a fucked up Free Willy". lol
TheChandrian
It’s the plot of a Disney cartoon but with foul language and sex.
GreatOdinsTaint
And Michael Shannon's taint
Mobileuserwholikestoberandom
I was thinking a reverse Beauty and the Beast
Dayrest
So the movie is basically a normalization of beastiality, is what you're saying.
JokeDestroyer
The conservatives were right!
Resting Jordan Peterson Face.gif
BruceBannersButtplug
It's more accepted because the fishman was was "humanoid".
TwoCheese
I don’t feel like the creature was animal enough to be beast.
MileyORiley
This was a good part, where he realised she's smarter than he gave her credit for.
kesaci
I thought she was showing how many fingers she uses when she masturbates everyday
Rankop
Took me a second viewing to realise that. And that the guy has a raging hard on for her. Guillermo is subtle like that
notifl1
ohhh thats why he's bending over like that.
Not sure if he did, or was just trying to assert some/any kind of dominance over her. Complex characters, well directed, a deep film.
atalkinghorse
He had a hard on for her. Found the fact that she's a mute highly erotic as showed in his sex scene with his wife. still a complex character
Nah I'm pretty sure the person with the raging hard on was Guillermo Del Toro.
KarlKingOfDucts
That was plain stupid IMO, she was going to get away safely, & bragging at this moment could have her busted. Too risky for no real payoff.
HollyRex
Literally saw it last night and thought the same thing.
Charcharm
Yes! I was like "bitch, stay low!"
Yep. Exactly what I was thinking. In fact it kind of ruined the scene. He still let her go? Yeah right.
It's character development in the movie. The main plot is second to the lead coming out of her shell finally, and growing as a person.
Yeah, I mean we get that, she just could've been smarter about it. Too much risk- gotta know when to pretend to still be in that shell.
IRememberMyFirstBeer
Sure. Sure. But that's nice and comfy. She chose straight up defiance against a man. Isn't that the whole oh fuck moment we look for??
I'm all for what she did- I'm just saying she could've waited until after the one she loved was safe. 1
If it were my hubby or child he was looking for- I'd stay nice and comfy until there wasn't a risk to them anymore, but that's just me. 2
At least from personal experience coming out of shy 'shellness' in the face of adversity.
We all have 'shells', but perhaps if she could conquer her fear against that aggressive guy, she could face anything...a personal goal?
srsfaceI8C
Well, apparently loving this movie is not the common sentiment here on Imgur judging by other comments. I thought it was great.
Selerox
I don't know a single person that really liked it. Everyone basically saw the *entire* plot coming from a mile away.
timeglass
Well, if none of YOUR friends or acquaintances liked it, it can’t have been very good at all.
Imgur only likes movies with Avengers or Storm Troopers for the most part. It gets depressing at times.
I love me some Marvel stuff like most anybody else, but there's definitely a lot of cinema that goes unappreciated here.
Sassmachine
I thought it was good, but somehow with a mute main character, an inter-species sex scene, and a diverse amount of characters, it >>>
didn't have like a "wow moment" or a daring enough choice for me to felt like I learned something new or got a new perspective on >>>
something I thought I knew well enough already. I thought the movie actually played it fairly safe, which was disappointing.
Movies simply cant just be entertaining? Dont always gotta be thought provoking.
They can be, but I had expectations for this movie after its reported splash on the circuit.
PhilMcrevice
Anyone else figure out what the scars were on her neck quite early into the film?
Monkeybone5581
Did anyone get that she might be his offspring?
YenYen08
Nope never did
zagibu
The whole movie is completely transparent. There is not a single surprising moment in it.
xephyr417
It wasn't subtle
spiffylookingnerfherder
Her abusive parents were assumed to have cut her larynx before abandoning her.
Spoilers: You mean the ones perfectly shaped like gills in a movie about a fish dude?
shreddedking
hickys from fishboi
Nepeta33
as soon as i saw them, actually
marderfucker
I didn't even get it until the second viewing
sadn00b
Them scars were from her Ex(fetish)... You see, before her current Fishtish, she had a Kittish.
TruthOf42
I was high af, every time you saw the scars it was mirrored against his gills
catsandcoke
I thought she was a sacrifice to the god when she was a baby. She was from South America, the same place as the creature.
They say in the movie she was found as an infant by a river with these scars.
dragonmaster18
When she was abandoned in the river as a baby, they cut her voice box so no one could hear her screaming. Not sure why though.
Cruxador
That was presented as an in-universe assumption but it's clearly demonstrated to be wrong and is obviously so from the beginning.
vanimal613
I had it figured out pretty much instantly.
feedmechipotle
What was it? I don’t have any plans to watch the movie but the storyline is interesting.
iKon2000
Gills
lookingOknaked
The weren't gills, the were scars from the attack when she was a child, that caused her to lose her voice. 1/2
CreamNinja
I believe that was what whomever found her assumed. As she was an unknown orphan or something.
Them turning into gills, when the fishboi healed her, was just a poetic amends. Also you dont need voice in water, again poetic something...
DickDastardly404
I mean the second you see them they're clearly supposed to represent gills. How TF they became gills, IDK, but whatever.
smashfaceawesome
You see the movie? I saw it last night and can recall the scene for you If you want.
yh, the fish dude turns them into gills. But like... How? He just has the power to turn scars into gills? or give people gills, or what? 1/2
The film doesn't make it clear if they're actually already gills, or she's a fishperson too, it just doesn't really answer that question 2/2
She is dying in the water when he turns the scars into gills just as he had healed Giles wounds and regret his hair.
* regrew
She had just been shot in the heart as had he. Gangrene dude said “whoa you are a god”. He gave her gills so that they could be _together_.
BuckTurgid
It's that she's a fish too right? It's her gills?
MiyagieOne
Del Toro is a big Lovecraft Fan and its just the ending of Shadow over Innsmouth where the main hero is in the end also a fishman.
MisterManatee
It's heavily implied that she's related to his species in some way. She was also found by a river in South America, just like him.
Maybe,but I think that takes away from the story.The point of the story is accepting/relating with someone (completely) different from you.
floralcurtains
But it’s also that she’s an outsider because she isn’t with someone who understands her. Finding someone like her and relating is the point.
