I don't think this movie is about beauty and the beast. but loving somebody unconditionally. From her point of view, SHE is the beast (among human). When she met this fish she felt so appreciated and loved, that's why she loves him much, despite being beast or not. I don't think there's man out there who could love and look at her the same way that fish did.

This movie got best picture because it represents so well how fucked up todays love is. Love nowadays demands so much conditions. Someone who's popular, overly handsome/pretty, rich, talented, big booty, big lips, etc in one package. But one, doesnt actually have a decent mind and heart. I'm sure most people find this stressful and tiresome, many still doesnt realize how these things destroys themselves so much.

My only complaint about the movie is it didn't say FIN on screen at the end.

I love how this move came from The Creature of The Black Lagoon when Del Toro was six and wanted the creature to have a happy ending. That’s so adorable I literally can’t hanlde it.

"The Shape of Water" is an ingenious fantasy romance that utilizes cold war era elements to the advantage of its premise while subtly challenging our preconceived notions of established archetypes. Del Toro has an innate understanding of portraying the beauty of purity in all it's forms while simultaneously showing us the grotesque underbelly and brutality of what it is to be human. Director del Toro has done a wonderful job of tributing to Old Hollywood, monster movies, outsiders, and love that could only come from the mind of the visionary filmmaker. This was an excellent choice for winning Best Picture at the Oscars! Bravo del Toro! (:

What I love the most about this scene is that when the creature hisses at Elisa when she tries to offer him the egg, she doesn't get scared and stays calm, knowing that she has to show him that she doesn't mean him any harm, especially after Strickland had abused him. BTW, the way he stands up in the pool at 1:31-1:38 is absolutely breathtaking. Elisa's reaction to that moment made it even more awesome. Sally Hawkins did an amazing job making her character be completely in awe of the creature.

I am so pleased that this superb film won an Oscar® for best music score, director and best film. Muchas gracias, Guillermo del Toro.

This is masterful story-telling that asks the audience a question - a test, if you will. Is it possible for two people - against all odds and differences - to fall in love? If all you see is a lady in love with a fishman, you failed the test. If you can see beyond the novelty of the fishman, then you can see what Eliza sees, and you pass del Toro's test.

Great fucking movie. Not as good as Pan's Labyrinth, in my opinion, but deserving of a view.

Such a good movie, really wasn't expecting that. Not something I would normally watch but it gripped me from the beginning and i couldn't stop watching and smiling then the tears came. I would recommend for sure. Beautiful story and glad I watched it.

[clarissacota]

Disappointed that Doug Jones didn't get nominated for his performance. He did a fantastic job as the Asset!

The Shape of Water is a classic movie, the story, acting, music, visuals, cinematography all were top notch. Such a fresh and enchanting movie, truly creative. Guillermo Del Toro created a stunning movie. One of my all time favorites. So happy it won 4 Oscars including the Oscar for Best Picture in 2018. 👏👏👏

Why so much hate? People do really throw rocks at things that shine...

[knight]

So unrealistic, hard-boiled eggs never peel that easily.

[noirangel]

Good God, I love Del Toro design for the Asset.

[melissareyes]
