The Shape of Water (2017) Directed by Guillermo del Toro

Unable to perceive the shape of you, I find you all around me. Your presence fills my eyes with your love. It humbles my heart, for you are everywhere.

These are the best tags @puddle–wonderful

Those tags are kinda at the heart of a lot of Del Toro’s work. The real “villain” of his films are not the monsters or the Eldritch creatures; its people. The monsters serve the purpose of personifing the anxieties of the characters, and the acceptance of that otherness into their hearts and lives.

There is a meaningful distinction to be made between monsterfucking and monster boyfriends

He’s so beautiful.

If I told you about her, what would I say? That they lived happily ever after? I believe they did. That they were in love? That they remained in love? I’m sure that’s true.
