The movie has an extremely interesting story that is very simple on the surface, but holds a gold mine of meaning below it.
Once you start scratching the surface, you\u2019ll notice symbolic meanings about trust, love, hate, racism, kindness, forgiveness, hope, and self awareness.<\/p>\n

The movie is almost 2 hours long that is filled with light sense of humor at first, and very serious complications later on. These complications are filled with a lot of different feelings projected at you. It\u2019s like a roller-coaster of emotions hitting you the whole movie.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri\u201d has well-deserved 7 Academy Award nominations.<\/p>\n

Acting is phenomenal, but I still think the acting of the main actress in \u201cThe Shape of Water\u201d movie should win \u201cBest Actress\u201d I think it\u2019ll at least get one of the 2 \u201cBest Supporting Actor\u201d nominations. Music is sensational, goosebumps all over, definitely worth the nomination as well!
The movie is also nominated for \u201cBest Original Screenplay\u201d, \u201cBest Editing\u201d, and \u201cBest Picture\u201d<\/p>\n

I hope this movie wins the \u201cBest Picture\u201d nomination at this year\u2019s Oscars.<\/p>\n

My rating:<\/b> 9\/10 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
