In the 1970s, the present era—at least for optimists willing to dismiss the nuclear holocaust, ecological cataclysm, and energy collapse—was imagined through visions in which flying cars or tourist trips to Mars and Venus would be commonplace. Most of these optimists were typically fans of science fiction. However, few among them could likely have imagined that precisely in this era, a film of this genre would win t…More

I knew that the popular idea that King Kong and Dwan should be together (let's not kid ourselves, more than one cried about it), was super murky, but now with this story I felt triple that. It's no wonder that Guillermo de Toro always leaves us amazed with his infinite creativity when creating fantasy creatures, but of the many I've known him to create, I can add one more to my list of favorites: The Amphibian Man ,…More

Monsters can also fall in love. >Los monstruos también pueden enamorarse. Water is a conductor of energy and Elisa Esposito knows it.

Original Image ＥＮＧＬＩＳＨ Within the poetic propositions within cinema, there is a great abundance of fantasy stories that tell us about love, some fail to captivate us or deafen us with a tender sound, although they do provoke stimulation, they do not manage to excite us in such a way that they enrapture us through the simplicity of a story about differences. *Guillermo del Toro, along with his fantastic universe full…More

For @wiseagent contest Oscar winner 2018, is The Shape of water really the movie of the year 2018? It's hard to give a definitive answer to that question. It was certainly one of the most beautiful and above all well made films. Thanks to its director: Guillermo Del Toro. With this film we return to the era of the "Labyrinth of the Faun", a dreamlike and incredible fairy tale that wants to be both a tribute to cinem…More

She worked as a princess cleaner in a secret government laboratory. Once she saw the main secret: a monster that lived in water. I saw and fell in love. Then she decided to save him from the vivisectors, although she was just a weak woman. Water h…More

While I really enjoyed this film and especially like the directing style of Guillermo del Toro, I am not as enthralled by it as it seems most people are. Don't get me wrong: I think it is great and I recommend others watch it as well. I just don't think it was as epic as the professional critics are making it out to be. Del Toro is famous in my mind for his work with Pan's Labyrinth, which, if you don't know what th…More
Guillermo del Toro's works relied on comic books, especially the Hellboy, Pacific Rim, and Blade 2. Water forms are more similar to his art-house movies: The Devil's Backbone, Chronos, and his masterpiece, Pan's Labyrinth. This movie is a great work. It has a remarkable cinematography by Danish vocals Dan Laustsen (who works with del Toro in Mimic and Crimson Peak), a very detailed production design in detail by Pau…More
Guillermo del Toro called The Shape of Water, which brought him an Oscar for Best Director (as his film won Best Picture), as an expression of the things that filled his worries as an adult especially about love, after in the previous 9 films del Toro visited the dream and her fears as a child. Maybe he was afraid the world was running out of love. The Shape of Water begins del Toro's desire to see the inter-species…More

So I was wrong, and The Shape of Water won the big awards at the Oscars. And I haven't watched it yet, but I'm gonna call this a retroactive award for Pacific Rim and be happy. This is Films & TV Friday. News Jon Favreau gets a Star War all his own. The Iron Man director will show-run a new Star Wars tv show that will air on Disney's upcoming Netflix competitor. I'm conflicted. Favreau certainly has the chops, and h…More
Guillermo del Toro is known for his passion for strange, terrifying monster designs, each with their own symbolism that represents the obscure nature of society and human nature. The Shape of Water carries that level of depth, yet focuses on displaying one of humankind's greatest weaknesses: segregation. Segregation isn't bound to the colour of a person's skin, and it's evident throughout the film; our protagonist m…More

# LA FORMA DEL AGUA Fuente Amor, música, arte, amistad y un villano muy malo hacen de esta película una fábula ambientada en los años 60. Desde el principio deja claro que es como un cuento, pero no para niños, cuando en una de las primeras escenas vemos un desnudo frontal de Elisa Esposito (Sally Hawkins) donde entra a una tina y empieza a masturbarse. La protagonista es Elisa, una mujer muda que ama ver películas…More
Guillermo del Toro has made a career out making monster movies in disguise, whether it’s the blockbuster monster fighting of Pacific Rim or the comic book adventures of Hellboy and Blade II , one element has been constant…things that go bump in the night.

Expect the unexpected when it comes to this film! Beautiful cinematography, the score and soundtrack is done so well, it makes every segway between each scene a joy to watch! What a fantastic movie!

I'm sure Guillermo del Toro has discovered the big secret – have fun with the things you create so you can work effortlessly and with endless pleasure. That is why his films have a special radiance, like a halo of a different color, because he has put a piece of his soul in each of them and they have been an integral part of it within (at least) several years. "The Shape of Water", the latest creation the crazy, wil…More

Earlier today, I sat down to write about my top ten movies of 2017. Then I realized that I had not seen Guillermo del Toro's *The Shape of Water*. Based on the buzz it is receiving around the internet, I thought it had a strong chance of landing on my top ten list. Many seem to feel it may be the absolute best movie of the year. I am not one of those people. However, that does not mean it is not a very high quality…More
The Shape of Water - Movie ReviewMore
*The Shape of Water* takes the classic horror film and turns it into a romantic drama. Watching this film, I remember thinking how much the creature reminded me of the *Creature From the Black Lagoon.* That was intentional. Writer/Director Guillermo Del Toro was inspired to create this story based on his childhood viewing of that film, wishing the Creature would get the girl. He pitched the idea years ago, but was r…More
Fantasies and monsters are part of the film world from its beginnings. In 1896, Georges Méliès in one of his first works- Le manoir du diable, brought the first incarnation of Mephisto, which later became an increasingly frequent phenomenon in his films. Although the monsters were part of the film magic of virtuoso Méliès, their popularization came with Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau who in 1922 represents the magnificent…More
