Does this movie promote beastiality?

Look, if you actually watched the film, you'll be pleasantly surprised with the way Guillermo Del Toro tastefully handles the material with a twenty minute full penetration unsimulated sex scene along with a speech he gives to the viewer directly after the credits in which he shares such gems as:

"Bestiality is not only right, it's necessary," "Kurt Angle was right," and "Why else do you think I dropped out of directing the Hobbit trilogy? I was too busy herding up them sweet-ass New Zealand sheep!"

Makes you really think about why it was nominated for so many Oscars in the first place.

I just hope the rumours aren’t true of Del Toro's remake of Gorillas in the mist!

I believe Amphibian Man is intelligent enough to consent.

Correctamundo!
I think the idea is just to retell (cough-ripoff-cough) the beauty and the beast story in a different setting. The big problem I had with it, like you have pointed out, is that the love story is borderline bestiality: he doesn't speak at all, but he's not mute, he doesn't communicate intelligently in any way.
At least not on a human level of expression. My dog communicates better than him, and I wouldn't f*** her even if she's super cute!
He copies her gestures, doesn't form sentences and behaves like a wild beast from start to finish.
So, yeah, since he's lowered to a beast level, it's a magical romantic story of bestiality.

Yes, this film promotes getting it on with alien fish creatures. So if you ever wake up next to one you know who to blame!

Yep! Sho nuff! It not only promotes it, it glorifies it. Disgusting!

[spoiler]
Elisa may look human, but she's not human. She was born with gills, probably underwater, and left on the riverbank as a baby.

So she may even be the female version of the exact same species as the amphibious man.[/spoiler]
