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.

Did your brain feel stimulated?

You learned two things if you count the fact your just posted.

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.

Just say hi in ASL but do it from beneath your chin. Kind of like a flick.

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

Unless its frozen, or maybe gaseous.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

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.

ice is just water that's stuck in the past

Took me a second viewing to realise that. And that the guy has a raging hard on for her. Guillermo is subtle like that

8 years ago | Likes 119 Dislikes 2

ohhh thats why he's bending over like that.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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.

8 years ago | Likes 53 Dislikes 0

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

8 years ago | Likes 20 Dislikes 0

Nah I'm pretty sure the person with the raging hard on was Guillermo Del Toro.

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 4

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.

Literally saw it last night and thought the same thing.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yes! I was like "bitch, stay low!"

8 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 2

Yep. Exactly what I was thinking. In fact it kind of ruined the scene. He still let her go? Yeah right.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 2

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.

8 years ago | Likes 32 Dislikes 4

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.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

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??

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I'm all for what she did- I'm just saying she could've waited until after the one she loved was safe. 1

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

We all have 'shells', but perhaps if she could conquer her fear against that aggressive guy, she could face anything...a personal goal?

Well, apparently loving this movie is not the common sentiment here on Imgur judging by other comments. I thought it was great.

8 years ago | Likes 29 Dislikes 1

I don't know a single person that really liked it. Everyone basically saw the *entire* plot coming from a mile away.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 3

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.

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.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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.

That was presented as an in-universe assumption but it's clearly demonstrated to be wrong and is obviously so from the beginning.

I had it figured out pretty much instantly.

Gills

The weren't gills, the were scars from the attack when she was a child, that caused her to lose her voice. 1/2

8 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 0

I believe that was what whomever found her assumed. As she was an unknown orphan or something.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Them turning into gills, when the fishboi healed her, was just a poetic amends. Also you dont need voice in water, again poetic something...

8 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

I mean the second you see them they're clearly supposed to represent gills. How TF they became gills, IDK, but whatever.

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

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

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.

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.

8 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

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.

8 years ago | Likes 30 Dislikes 0

Maybe,but I think that takes away from the story.The point of the story is accepting/relating with someone (completely) different from you.

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

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.
