The Shape of Water is Guillermo del Toro's latest epic. We follow Eliza

The Shape of Water is Guillermo del Toro's latest epic. We follow Eliza (Sally Hawkins), a mute cleaning assistant and her friend Zelda (Octavia Spencer) as they work deep within a military facility in Cold War United States.

Of interest in this facility is "The Asset", an amphibian creature of deep intelligence and equally deep ferocity. Its captor, Strickland, is an unfeeling sadist who cannot love but can control and torment. He simply wants a promotion from his military superiors and tortures The Asset at every turn.

Thankfully for the Asset, he is discovered by Eliza, who befriends him and helps him escape to her apartment space, which she shares with Giles, an advertising cartoonist who is falling behind the times, as photography is taking over at present. Giles and Eliza communicate well and he helps her store our amphibian friend, and ultimately befriend and save it. 

The Shape of Water offers much beyond the story, however. It is a visual treat, the interior of the mysterious facility rendered with a remarkable sterility, Giles' apartment comfortable and replete with a bachelor's sundries. References to Soviet spies abound, and one is in fact an integral part of the story.





See the Shape of Water for its brilliant acting, fine special effects and perhaps even to regain hope for love between differences.

The Shape of Water tells the story of Elisa Esposito(Sally Hawkins). Elisa works as a janitor, at a classified research facility in America, during the Cold War. At the facility Elisa comes across a unique creature(Doug Jones), with whom she forms a strong bond.

The Shape of Water is an awe-inspiring film. Director Guillermo del Toro has given us another unforgettable, unique & predominantly visual movie, after Pacific Rim(2013) & Crimson Peak(2015). del Toro is worthy of all the 'Best Director awards, he has been winning non-stop. The visual effects are flawless. 

Costume designer Luis Sequeira has done a fantastic job with Doug Jones'(who plays the Amphibian Man) body suit. The hauntingly beautiful score by Alexandre Desplat, deserves all the accolades it's receiving. The cinematography by Dan Laustsen & the production design by Paul D. Austerberry are two other strong points of the film. 

The performances are the highlight of the movie. Sally Hawkins is spectacular as Elisa Esposito. Hawkins masterfully portrays varied emotions, without uttering a single word. Michael Shannon gives the performance of a lifetime, as Richard Strickland. 

Richard Jenkins is amazing as Giles. Octavia Spencer is outstanding as Zelda Fuller. Michael Stuhlbarg is brilliant as Dr. Robert Hoffstetler. Doug Jones is awesome as the Amphibian Man. The supporting cast is great. The Shape of Water is a must watch. Go & believe in true love again!

I love Monster, Zombie & War movies

I love Monster, Zombie & War movies ...I wish this movie could have decided what it wanted to be. Were the real "Horrors of War" your fellow soldiers attitudes? How they treat civilians? The decisions you must make to redeem yourself and save others? Mad Scientists? Nazi Mutant Zombies?  French Werewolfs? Well, I was really hoping for more of the latter 3, (and more gore) but this could have worked as regular a war movie with any Nazi super weapon, the monster element seemed tacked on (especially there whole werewolf part, it seemed very much a pointless sidebar). I'd have rather seen more of a real Monster threat in a war setting.  The monsters came one at a time, and slowly. there wasn't much of a perceived 'Monster threat' leading to a big showdown, the big showdown was...well, awkward. Out of nowhere the Mutant Mad Doc and Werewolf start fighting, and the werewolf dies like a vampire...then after the "sacrificial choice", between a fam...

Halloween Marathon, part 2: The Devils behind the sun

The first Men Behind the Sun marked the beginning of the Category III (CAT III) movies, the extreme graphic violence and the historical theme made Men Behind the sun going to the highlights, apparently, it grossed enough money for make a "sequel". https://365movies.is/ Men Behind the sun II is directed by Godfrey Ho (remember Ninja Thunderbolt ? Ninja Terminator ?), the greatest Hong Kong B-movie director. This is more a remake than a sequel, with the only difference is that we don't see the cadet's "point of view". Men Behind the Sun II is the most violent and nasty (at least in my opinion) of the whole Man Behind the sun Quadrilogy, it includes the most disgusting autopsy scene ever filmed. The special effects are realistic, shocking and gross. The English dub is cheesy. Many people complained at the time that T.F Mou made Men Behind the Sun just for make some cash on this sad story, actually, i think that the guy who did this is Godfrey Ho, compare ...

If it only were half as good as the movie poster

If it only were half as good as the movie poster Horrors of  war Movies isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it's so bad in an entirely different way. It begins in Germany during the end of a war when US soldiers run into a Nazi zombie soldier. Then we are taken a couple of months back when soldiers run into a soldier who was taken captive by the Nazis. He tells if a creature that killed all the Nazis and of a man who seemed to be in charge. Lt. Schmidt is sent to investigate to France and his platoon runs into this creature that turns out to be a werewolf for some reason. He returns with a report that no one believes. Then he sent to investigate something else and this time they run into a Nazi super soldier zombie. He returns with his report and this time is sent to investigate the man who may be responsible for all unexplained events- the man the soldier saw earlier. The Lt. is joined with Capt. Russo and they don't get along. They find a factory were ...
