✍Review ✍
The Shape Of Water is a 2017 American romantic fantasy film, directed by Guillermo del Toro, written by Guillermo del Toro and Vanessa Taylor.
Set in Baltimore in 1962, the plot follows a young cleaner working in a high-security government lab who falls in love with a captured humanoid-amphibian creature.
The film is currently in theaters in Mexico, at least in cinepolis, Mexico and has its English version subtitled in Spanish and the version dubbed in Spanish, which was the one I saw, and which I quite enjoyed listening to it. that the translations of the voices were quite good.
The cast of actors in this movie is pretty good and has great actors like Sally Hawkins as Elisa Esposito, Michael Shannon as Colonel Richard Strickland, Richard Jenkins as Giles, Octavia Spencer as Zelda Delilah Fuller and Michael Stuhlbarg as Dr. Robert Hoffstetler / Dimitri Antonovich Mosenkov who made an excellent interpretation of their characters as they convey the ideas and feelings that their characters have.
The direction, production and script of the film was in charge of Guillermo del Toro and together with his team they made an exceptional work with this film, the representation of a US city in the 90's era was well done, the scenery and atmosphere used It was the right one
The photography implemented in the film was in charge of Dan Laustsen and he did an exceptional job, and the monster's costume design gives the appearance of being real which he considered that he added enough points to the film.
The Music was in charge of Alexandre Desplat a composer who has been nominated to several oscars and has won a few, personally I consider that I interpret some themes very much in accordance with the scenes of the film, that made the scenes feel fluid and gave him those Special touches of feeling to the film.
The film and director Guillermo del Toro were nominated for several Oscars this year, and won several categories among which are:
| Prize | Category |
|---|---|
| Awards Óscar | Best Movie |
| Awards Óscar | Best Director |
| Awards Óscar | Best Soundtrack |
| Awards Óscar | Best Production design |
| Golden Globe | Best Director |
| Golden Globe | Best Soundtrack |
| Awards BAFTA | Best Soundtrack |
| Awards BAFTA | Best Production Design |
The philosophy that manages the film in my opinion is that love can arise unexpectedly, abruptly or as a well-known saying would say love is blind and that regardless of gender or spice this can be as pure and sincere as any other.
The best thing about the movie is that they do not censor the film too much and despite being a film with less rating than films like 50 Shades of Gray, in this film they show you everything in a fluid and uncut way, which makes you feel the movie even more liberal and free of censorship, without a doubt Guillermo del Toro did not skimp and showed everything he wanted to convey from the film so that the public could appreciate it in its purest form.
