When I first saw the trailer of “The Shape of
Water”, I was blown away. It was sweet, heartwarming, and weird at the same
time. It is a fantasy love story with a premise that might have so often appeared
in one film or another: an unlikely romance between human and non-human. This is
actually a typical premise background for director Guillermo del Toro, who is
so dedicated and obsessed to monsters and fantasy creatures on films. But “The
Shape of Water” seemed different: there’s a nuance of classic in the trailer,
something to do with old songs and bleak color pallete. And Sally Hawkins (!),
as a mute lady in love with the creature, is a perfect round-up that leads me
into an overanticipation towards this film.
