A fairytale with great cinematography

Rating: 7/10 (12 April 2018)

Dear movie freaks, The Shape of Water main story is not so original, because there are many fantasy and imagination about the creature from other world who are coming to human world and then they are falling in love each other. There is nothing special about this, but the movie The Shape of Water has a great cinematography and thanks to Guillermo del Torro who can give also the funny scenes and critical moments to make audience eyes stick to the screen. Some movies of fairytale is boring, but this one is not, so for me why this movie won Oscar is not about the storyline, but for the cinematography. I appreciate the producer who finally choose scene in America in the moment of Cold War, because this moment makes every scene looks easy to be connected: a poor painter, old cinema building, Russian spy on the scientist facility in America, Cadillac car as American Dream, etc. This movie story is not original, but because of American pop culture as the main idea of all scenes, this movie could be remembered as a fairytale with great cinematography. Congratulation Mr. Guillermo del Torro for your great work and you deserve Oscar for your hard work!
