✔ Introduction
Hello Friends, I hope you are doing fine and are having a good time on bitlanders. Today I have come up again with my new blog with the title of "Hollywood Movie Review - The Shape of Water". Friends, this blog is about a recently released Hollywood Fiction, Romantic and Drama Genres movie "The Shape of Water". The story of the movie revolves around a woman who is "Mute" and has an amorous relationship with a creature nobody has seen before. the movie throws light on different love emotions that a special person like that lady can have. The movie depicts that love has no boundaries and two people from different backgrounds or even two different species can fall in love and their love can blossom. This movie was directed by Guillermo del Toro and was produced by J. Miles Dale along with Guillermo del Toro. The screen play for the movie was written by Vanessa Taylor, and yet again, Guillermo del Toro gave his hand in the screenplay as well. This movie was produced under the supervision of TSG Entertainment, an American Film Financing Company. The movie was showcased in the 74th Venice International Film Festival for its world premiere in August 2017 where it managed to impress the viewers and won Golden Lion.

The 21st century has produced no finer movie than Pan’s Labyrinth, Guillermo del Toro’s 2006 masterpiece, which acts as a sister picture to his 2001 Spanish civil war ghost story, The Devil’s Backbone. Like Del Toro’s first feature, Cronos (1993), these Spanish-language gems possessed a unique cinematic voice, the distant echo of which could still be heard even amid the thunderous roar of 2013’s Pacific Rim. Now, with his awards-garlanded latest (co-scripted by Game of Thrones graduate Vanessa Taylor), Del Toro has conjured a boundary-crossing hybrid that is as adventurously personal as it is universal, a swooning romantic melodrama that reshapes the mythical themes of Beauty and the Beast with deliciously bestial bite.
