By the way. I thought the exact same about The Shape of Water. A movie for future nostalgia that was enjoyable, but little too predictable and lacking something to make it a masterpiece. Pan's Labyrinth, for example, was a much better film from him.

Colin Farrell is so good in that film. He's at his best in strange, kind of eccentric, roles.
He's absolutely brilliant in The Killing of a Sacred Deer.

You saved me a lot of trouble searching what's good enough. Thanks a bunch.
It was a mix between slapstick and drama some of the fight scenes were similar tonwhat you seen of the old batman tv series. Then there were actions by characters that just did not make any sense, there were funny moments and ridiculous special effects but then again some dark depressing moments and some quality acting. Ah it was just fucked up

Here's what I don't like, though. The hypocrisy. Hollywood is total shit in majority of the cases. But that doesn't mean that good movies don't exist, right? Even today, when there are shitload of stupid and pointless movies, you can still see plenty of good stuff. But you don't cause you don't watch foreign movies or stuff that's underground, stuff that comes out from the movie festivals. His point is really strong, and I agree with majority of what he says, but why doesn't he do something about it? He's a well known actor. He's surely in a position to pick a movie and and decide which role to take. He doesn't do that but he follows the money and movies that he spits on later on. I mean... why? Yeah, Avengers would give him 5-10mln to be in it. But he can still live in a great way if he decides to accept some low paid role but something that he truly belives in and something that will leave a mark on the whole history of movies. He will get paid less, yes, but he will still be above the average pay guy in the US. Or somewhere else.
Harrison Ford was paid like 10k dollars to act in the first SW movie. But that's just a silly example. He has a lot of money to live for a hundred more year. Why doesn't he make a movie? Many actors nowadays take such role. Hell, if you think you can make an instant classic why don't you go for it? I kinda refuse to believe they wouldn't make good quality movies nowadays, it's just that they don't have creativity anymore and they are out of ideas. If he doesn't care about the money then make some outstanding art, at least he's in a position to do so, no? Instead he complains (while telling the absolute truth) and then accepts the next shit movie like Avangers to get more millions. That's just BS imo.
This is why I havent been following Oscars for a decade
