The Shape of Water - Oscar Movie Review

The Shape of Water is an another masterpiece work from the hands of Guillermo del Toro. Even though it is not upto the level of Labyrinth, it becomes one of the celebrated movies by the audience. It is not surprised by winning oscar because it deserved it. The movie do not contain any action sequences or twists like other movies.


 The plot is simple. The movie deals with the love between a sea animal and a mute girl. The girl tries to help an animal to escape from lab. She decides to release the animal at the time of rain. The head tries to kill the animal. The doctor wants it to keep alive. What will be the girl's decision? Sorry.. there won't be any spoilers in this review. Kindly watch it in a theater for visual treat. The movie deals with several controversial things. The animal that they caught is considered as the God for Amazon people. Another thing in this film is political elements.

This story happens at the time of Russia sent a dog to space. Now America is in critical situation to do achieve something to prove themselves. At that time they want to try to compete with Russia by using this animal. The animal is portrayed as example for humanity and humans are portrayed as example for the barbarians. This reverse satire adds more beautiful space to construct a plot. This movie is an another example for depicting realty.



 The dark atmosphere in this movie helps to create and maintain the audience's mood till the end. The Shape of water gives dark feeling with respect to emotions. The mute girl connects her life with the animal is another clever depiction to develop love sequences. So there won't be no logic questions. Last twenty minutes is the heart of the film and the climax is unpredictable. The film makers hit sixes in all sides of the ground. The sides are plot, screenplay, music, cinematography, narrative point, selection of artists.

Overall the shape of water shapes the audience's emotion and it is a good treat for visuals without any chasing scenes and heart stopping twists. This movie deserved an Oscar. My personal opinion is still there may be better choice than The Shape of Water.
