It's pretty wild to see where del Toro decided to take the material considering the marketplace and the undoubted pressure to make the film a more marketable PG While there is a lovable sense of whimsy to the film the characters' respective journies - it is decidedly not a kid-friendly feature, and all the better for it. I would be remiss to discuss The Shape of Water in too much detail as there are a number of plot points and important themes at play I would rather not color anyone's expectations further.
Michael Shannon's Strickland is a particularly tough character to discuss without A: spoiling key events and B: coloring the film with any personal biases.
The film has already been saddled with the weight of being 'Best Picture of the Year,' the film doesn't need my takeaways to burden it further. I want people to be able to glean their own intersections without me drawing the roadmap. Suffice to say I liked where it went with the material. Less a monster movie and more of a fairytale romance, the film may not quite be del Toro's masterpiece, but it is a grand achievement giving audiences a heartfelt cinematic journey - if you can align yourself with the film's numerous eccentricities.
Elisa Sally Hawkins lives a quiet unassuming life of routine. Wake up, make some eggs, tend to her needs, make her painter neighbor Giles Richard Jenkins something to eat, go to work at a government research facility and listen to her exuberant co-worker Zelda Octavia Spencer talk about her husband while complaining about the pee stains in the men's bathroom.
Mute and able to communicate through sign language, Elisa may be of few words but lives a life of rich emotion and a longing for love - just like every other human around her.
When she and Zelda are assigned to clean a top-secret research room housing a rare Amphibian Man Doug Jones captured in the Amazon, Elisa makes the unlikeliest of human connections with a creature that is decidedly not human.
Her growing sense of joy and love is threatened by the barbarous actions of the facility's security head Strickland Michael Shannon. With the help of a quiet and inquisitive scientist called Hoffstetler Michael Stuhlbarg , Elisa concocts a scheme to bring her friends together to save the Amphibian Man from an unfortunate fate.

I wrote the movie for Sally, I wrote the movie for Michael [Shannon] Sally is -- I wanted the character of Elisa to be beautiful, in her own way, not in a way that is like a perfume commercial kind of way.
