"Form of water" cannot be taken as a another tale of love strange creatures and strange girls like many did. Although not without this: surface description of the film may sound something like and first glance it and looks like. It could be just another interpretation of Beauty and the Beast, if no name of the Author. Guillermo del Toro goes much deeper, transforming a simple story in global metaphor not only atmosphere situation, and and society as a whole: a society that does not can end the feud with their appearance and with types, them unknown. Not one that the film is beautiful, but it is this issue and would like attention.
The eternal motive of human hatred goes through the whole film, being in the form of the cold war (global hostility of the superpowers), the now popular theme of intolerance towards the representatives of those or other minorities, to which include Goodies (though all and see this is only a reflection of actual to the moment the situation with these groups themselves) and main (just on first glance) conflict between the three main characters in the film.
The presence of these topics seemingly the secondary plot deepens exactly a pretty hackneyed message of "love all win", making it global wide in all understandings. The Director talks about love for all on all levels of existence, not limited to family or friends, because at the film version, the people are the only ones who can show compassion and to feel true love. And especially symbolic that in the film this moment is shown without using words and only the gestures of the heroine (Sally Hawkins), showing a real person who can sincerely Express movements of hands that not everyone will be able to convey in words. Dumb lady can be compared with a Director who without words but with the help of cinematic language is trying to convey thoughts to the viewer, therefore everyone wants to understand and you look wider. Of course not the only message in this multi-faceted, deep and almost immediately underestimated mass audience film. You can be sure that you soon, he will be a modern classic, how have became the "pan's Labyrinth".
Not surprising that not everyone can appreciate all the subtext and hidden meaning, seeing only the unconditionally beautiful love story. The film can be more likely attributed to a movie festival than the typical Hollywood (but again, the first sight I will not say). The ability to lay in the simple story is thin and sharp as the needle, universal message, makes you feel infinite respect for a huge level of skill of the conductor of all this surreal orchestra — Guillermo del Toro. It and hopes to see all people as real people, in the end, sending the lovers to the place where they don't hurt either the political situation, nor the perennial problem of society — world in fully enveloping you in water, in the world in which can be a real sincere love, even if this love will be between fish and man.
