‘The Shape of Water’

The fantasy romantic movie ‘The Shape of Water’ made its debut in Shanghai, which won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Production Design, and Best Original Score at the 90th Academy Awards.

The film tells a cross-race love story between a dumb girl living on the margins of society and a captured humanoid amphibian creature.

The director Guillermo del Toro told the organizer that he adopted different shades for the underwater and land scenes - cyan and blue for the former and warm colors such as gold for the later. In spite of the colors, Mr. Toro carefully controlled the details and rationally promoted the plot, which makes this special love accepted by the audience. Besides, the whistle soundtrack is also a major feature, of which the sound quality features are well matched with the mood of water, easily triggering the imagination of the audience. The film wanted to confide the core idea that love is very inclusive and makes miracles.

As Mr. Toro said, the greatest thing about film is it wipes out the boundaries and was founded on everyone's own ideas.

A number of senior film critics in China also give a high rating to the film. The chief editor of the magazine 'movie view' expressed, "‘The Shape of Water’, aesthetically, thoroughly implements the concept of water and is very paranoid about color while it is frank on the subject for the protagonists are gentle and perseverant."
