The Shape of Water Trailer

Guillermo del Toro‘s The Shape of Water (2017) movie trailer stars Sally Hawkins, Octavia Spencer, Michael Shannon, Richard Jenkins, and Michael Stuhlbarg. The Shape of Water‘s plot synopsis: “An other-worldly fairy tale, set against the backdrop of Cold War era America circa 1963. In the hidden high-security government laboratory where she works, lonely Elisa is trapped in a life of silence and isolation. Elisa’s life is changed forever when she and co-worker Zelda discover a secret classified experiment.”

Love is a strange and strong emotion to deal with. It can warp your perception of the world and things in it. In The Shape of Water, love is very strange and Elisa (Sally Hawkins)’s perception is most definitely warped with regard to how things can work out with the experiment trapped in the water cage of her place of work. For Elisa’s eventually situation to reach fruition, she will have to enlist the aid of many people. Towards the end of this trailer, it looks as though that’s what she does.
