the shape of a good movie

Rating: 9/10 (14 January 2018)

Guillermo del Toro shows why many consider him an excellent director, the film is wonderful as a dark reinvention of the story of the beauty and the beast gives it its touch of originality, it makes an inter-species relationship that feels attachment so real and beautiful his characters and this is thanks to the excellent performance of Sally Hawkins and his chemistry with Doug Jones show that acting goes beyond immense dialogues and that emotions through our expressions and sign language do not limit us to understand the feeling that surrounds us each scene, also the actors like Michael Shannon who plays an excellent role, Octavia Spencer who recently did an Gifted and shows how talented he is and Richard Jenkins also does a great job, the music of Alexandre Desplat using classical music to set the mood according to the moments that are happening throughout the film and the photograph of Dan Laustsen just beautiful who had already I worked with del Toro on Crimson Peak and mimic , but despite the fact that I loved the movie there is only one but I could put it and it is the manipulator that is with the protagonists and I mean is that each of the characters are forced too to love them or to feel sympathy for them or even to feel hatred for them, it is as if they were marked with a sign saying that he is good, he is bad, he is innocent that comes to feel forced at the time of seeing this film, outside of that the film is incredible both visual, and narrative (except for that detail) is definitely a melodrama with fantasy that you must see.
