I have speculated for months about what may be in store for us with The Shape of Water, ever since a Things You Missed I did on the trailer back in July. This weekend, the film is finally released, so I'll be dissecting commonly overlooked details, Easter Eggs, connections to Creature From The Black Lagoon and more.
This time I'm bringing you a whopping 55 new facts about this unique monster movie. I'll dive into topics like the symbolism of time, the meaning and use of color, recurring themes and even deciphering those strange hieroglyphics on the couch.
I'll also break down the ending and give my own theory on how it went down and what the amphibian creature actually was. Join me as we go deeper into this movie than ever before.

That WestDakota t-shirt is amazing and I bet will be the top seller.

Tu
She was found near a river with those cuts when she was a baby and gabe only has healing powers so gabe didn't MAKE her gills gabe RESTORED her gills
Bingo! That's why she could communicate with him telepathically. Because she is like him and was never designed to speak normally in the first place.
Maxine Achille she could be a siren which can live on land but they are mute on land and since she is mute she actually can be a siren
@@maddayley Sirens aren't mermaids. They're half woman, half bird. And mermaids are not silent on land.
Gabe is a horrible name
@@JamiJR nobody said sirens are mermaids
Ok so I just saw the movie today... Did no one catch the fact that they mentioned Eliza was found abandoned by a lake or some body of water and she just so happens to have those scars on her neck? I believe she was actually from the ocean herself, just a different type which is why she was always drawn to water, how she always pleased herself in the bathtub, and how she was able to control the water droplets in the bus scene. She felt natural drawn to the sea god so it must be something. At the end, he just helped her open up her gills, not converted the scars to them.... That's my thought.
Angelica Ortiz i totally had the same thought! 👀
That exactly what I thought. I thought they would mention smt about that in the movie
Agree
Angelica Ortiz same
I totally agree! I'm surprised I haven't seen a video review mentioning this as of yet.
ok, nice try, but her "scars" were actually her gills. She was found as an infant, with no ability to speak. The story of the little mermaid was about the princess from under the sea that gave up her tail for legs and had NO VOICE. That being said, she was ALWAYS a mermaid.
I was going to say the same thing like a reverse Little mermaid. When she got her legs she became a mute bit could communicate perfectly under water.

Makes sense
Giles never craved those pies, both he and Elisa hated the taste. He only kept going back for pie as an excuse to talk the server he liked, and when Giles gets rejected and sees the server's true colors, he wipes his tongue with a napkin and leaves.
@@alihijazi8583 god this is such a reach. If you think it’s a dick move to waste food then fair enough but he isn’t a shitstain in this universe just bc he had a lil crush on a guy and bought his pies to talk to him LMAO. As soon as the worker showed disinterest, he let it go. If he kept pushing and pressuring then I feel your comment would have more merit.
@@allison6452 a guy who doesn't act like a man and wants to be passive to other men instead of being a man like them and being a friend or even a brother to them doesn't make him even a good person with pressuring or with no pressuring.
But sadly, we reached an era where a lot of sins are accepted by many people and considered good by them, and they harming them morally while they are not paying attention to such thing hundred percent.
@@alihijazi8583 oh so your comment just comes from a place of homophobia LMAO nvm you’re nothing so just disregard this conversation ❤️
Elisa's middle name Esposito comes from Exposito a name given to abandoned children. In the movie she was found abandoned by the river.
Amphibian Man was considered a god in the movie. Elisa means "Consecrated to God" Her last name Jeane means "God is Gracious".
FreedomtoAll
Coincidence I think not
Because there is no such thing as a coincidence
Just saying
Hands were also used. Not just Shannon's fingers but multiple references to his hands being dirty, Elisa's use of her hands as her only mode of communication, and Giles failed use of his hands in his illustration work etc.
Im almost certain that this whole movie is actually being told through the perspective of Eliza's neighbor. The film opens with him narrating and ends with him narrating too. I think the whole scene about Eliza getting gills after falling into the sea at the end was her neighbor adding some poetic whimsy for a happy ending. This works, as he is an artist, but because he would want a happy ending too. del Toro has also said that this movie is a "fairy tail for troubled times", further backing the idea that this movie is literally being told as a story.
I thought the same thing @ the end, that it seemed like that's what He wanted to have happened! That She was alive & happy in the ocean with Him!! 💙 But, for the sake of the story, that is what happened! Especially since it's been noticed She had gills all along & were just opened up by Him in the water!!!
Elisa is actually 27, not in her 40s, as seen on her ID card
I haven´t seen the movie but I´m curious, does the ID card show her birthday? Because I bet my left shoe her horoscope sign is Pisces xD
I was just thinking that too! But she's still running out of time to be a mother, so it makes sense with the whole thing
+NemesisProducts Right March birthday I am a Pisces.
You know disabled people are at more risk of dying young due to external mistreatment right so she probably felt she might as well be forty
@@shawnbegay4622 she's not running out of time. Women have kids in mid 30s just fine. And if she's 27 I'm the president lol
"...is he a god? I don't know - i mean, he ate a cat..." - one of my fav lines, lol
guys why are we over thinking the color theory? as the movie progresses Eliza starts wearing more red, it could just be an allusion to her falling more and more in love with "Gabe".
Yes, the color of passion.
Me and my buddies called the creature Nereus, after an ancient sea god. We thought it fit ^.^
Hellhound382 Nice move. I like how you and your friends did that :3
Kela Pearse thanks ^^
The old man of the sea?
Loose lips poster is refering to what will happen in the movie right after that scene. Dimitri gets tortured until he spills the beans, which causes the badguy to go after Zelda, where her husband spills the beans. Loose lips, wreck ships.
In the behind the scenes the director said he introduced the color red as passion. Eliza began to wear bits of red when she began to have a strong bond with the aquatic man which was expressed in passionate moments like when she was crying in the locker room and her red shoes after they were intimate.
This might be a little lengthy but well worth it.
I look at the color palette differently: I think green is looked at as comfortability... the time stamp is green, the green(teal) car that he buys, the key lime pie, the red jello in the painting that guy made him change to green. It shows that they’re not ready to get out of comfort, directly and indirectly. And red, shows getting out of that: when she confronted Strickland she was wearing red, on the calender, she wrote in red ink signifying her inevitable time to change, I feel like he made the jello red at first because he was ready for change (mentioned he stopped drinking and wanted to get back to work) but he was held back to his comfortablity to be back in green. Also, I think she’s very aware of time and uses that to her advantage. You mentioned that she’s always late to work but I think she does that on purpose to skip the line knowing that D will hold her place. She uses her “disability” to her advantage. I could go on and on but I’ll leave it at that. What do you think.
One of the things I liked best about this film is that it was very complex and multilayered! While watching, I began to see teal as a nod to the harmony among land and sea, the way the color itself is composed of a harmony between green and blue. I thought it was interesting how some of the characters failed to see the blue in teal and instead called the color green, yet nobody ever saw teal without the green and called it blue. Perhaps this is because as humans, our perspectives are often grounded (pun intended) in the world that we know, blinding us to the perspectives of creatures that we cohabit the world with. This ties back to a central theme of the film. What do you guys think?
Wow, yeah- definitely
as someone who is deeply in love with the colour teal, this was such a nice read, thanks ~
actually I think people nowdays think teal as blue am i right
Ok so I just came out of the movie and me and my sibling developed a theory about Elisa.
So considering how it was said that Elisa was found near a river as a baby, with slits in her neck that soon became gills, she is probably a fish person also--just a different sub-species than Gabe. In the theater I went to they played previews of the original Creature from the Black Lagoon and its sequels. The 3rd sequel mentioned that the creature spent so much time on land that it started appearing more and more human. This is what happened with Elisa. Because she was removed from water as an infant she became more human, but now being placed back into water she remembers how to breathe.
Gabe, probably spending his whole life in water can't be on land for long periods because his body hasn't adapted like Elisa has.
Let me know what u think CZsworld!
Was also curious if u say that red symbolized the past, then why did Elisa wear red after they....yknow? I just thought it meant passion/love
Me and my fiance were discussing the same thing i mean from the moment i saw the slits on her neck i was whispering to him “i bet shes a fish person too”
Cuz she was found by a river with no family it was a safe guess. Anyways i totally agree with you.
Sif if I remember correctly, Del Toro's twitter mentioned the red colors are for love and passion. :) so you are right
I had the same thoughts! The second it was said I knew it had to be the case. There’s just so much left unanswered that people are just left to assume. It was a fantastic movie though!
duuude yesss!! I had the same thought. Funny no youtube channles have mentioned this yet
Call me crazy I think she is a version of these mermaid people the story her friend tells is that they found her next to a river with those scars and she never spoke . She has an instant connection with it and can breathe under water in the end what if she was supposed to be one of them but just got left behind and had to grow and live as a human but always knew that is where the dreams come in
When air conditioning was first invented, it was largely used in cinemas as a big crowd draw. So to state that the theater was air conditioned was good advertising for crowds
I have a theory
stating that the sea monster aka Gabe I guess? is actually one of the fish folk from HP Lovecraft
but idk I COULD
be wrong
why did Gabe need all that saline in his water when he came from the Amazon which is a freshwater river?
He swam in there ro receive his sacrifice from the natives? The Amazon river is connected to the sea after all.
I love mermaids and marine life stuff so i was hooked and had to check out this movie. Im a sucker for all kinds of love stories. In the end of the movie i half expected Eliza and “gabe” to swim off together for a few minutes while beautiful music played (but i only expected that cause i was remembering the ending scene of the movie “Splash” starring Tom hanks which i loved). I wanna see this movie again, its so different despite the odd concept of reversing the mermaid idea-the message was beautiful and i didnt just care about the main characters i also cared about her friends zelda and giles. Very well done movie.
I thought she was a mutilated version of the creature. IDK why she looks Soo human though. But they said in the film that they found her next to a river when she was a baby and had those scars on her neck. Even before they turned back into gills and had her breathing underwater, I thought the scars looked like gills that someone sewed shut. Possibly the people who found her by the river. Or maybe the creatures did it to her to make it so she could grow up in human society easier.
I think so too.
OK, for sure I'm going to watch this. With that said, this is still a much better love story than 50 Shades of Gray and Twilight. So many symbolism.
Capucine N Isn't everything is better than Twilight?
50 shades is porn in disguise. I wouldn´t watch that.
I think that's the main theme -- the transformative power of love
The colors could also be connected to the chakras. Red is the root - when she lost her grounding she was shown in red. Liza is all about love which is green - heart chakra. Yellow is the sacral chakra - self-esteem - the reason the villian was such an azz. Also blue is the throat chakra and Eliza can't speak, so she only gets to blue green - teal in her communication.
AnaisKarim. This is an interesting analysis of the colors as symbolism. It also makes sense as to what they represent in your explanation of chakras. Thank you. I also thought that the basic red,yellow, green as the traffic lights, green-go,yellow-caution,red-stop;or ,as in this case,red at beginning meaning stop;then warning to caution, then full green to go,and so it went. Then there is Starman movie where he learns our actual observance of traffic lights, red means stop, green means go, and yellow means go faster. What you do with these I don't know, just some more ideas to tag at.
Birds and Butterflies you said represents freedom
To me
Bird=a new start
Butterfly =Rebirth and Transformation
Think about it
I've thought about it. Butterfly also emerges from a cocoon after moments of hibernation (isolation) and flies freely. A bird can also mean transformation when it goes from embryo and hatches out of the egg as a bird. I do like your representations and agree with it also.
Talking about the monster of the black lagoon, you should read the wiki page of the Shape of Water. It clearly states that del Toro was asked by Universal to shoot a sequel of that film. So you are right, the ending is definitely a reference to that film!
I love this movie and to me it wasn't weird or odd but creative and sweet,💙💙💙
I think it's very likely that the end scene is Giles' hope being played out. His narration implies that anyway. It's very possible she dies and the whole gill thing was just what Giles was hoping.
Yes, it's a possibility! I thought that too when I heard what He said!! But, what We see is that alternate reality supernatural happy ending!! We want that ending too & see it, so that's what's real to Us that happened!
@@vorablackwitch9778 exactly
hold on, i think the Scientifically Air Conditioned thing is a Lovecraft reference. this whole movie has a Shadow Over Innsmouth vibe, so it would be really interesting if that was a Cool Air nod.
the movie about Ruth in the theatrecould be a nod to the actual story of Ruth & Boaz and how it pertained to ‘Gabe’ & Eliza... it’s one of the most beautiful love stories in the bible...
(also, surprised nobody’s mentioned the uncanny parallels to ‘Amelie’)
By the by, the creatures unofficial name is Charlie (after Charlie Tuna lol), Doug Jones mentioned in an interview that his set chair had Charlie on it so the crew would have something to call him
I saw this as a show of progression ahead of it's time. Our main characters are all of minority groups especially for the time period. They are the downtrodden against the pinnacle of american man. Needing to let go of traditions and ideals and be willing to grow.
The time period for this is somewhere around the beginning of the McCarthy era, the second "red scare". The one that lasted until the late 90's.
I think the yello colouring has a significance in that. "Green is the future" is America's move towards capitalism, which was kickstarted around that time. "Red is the past" is America leaving behind the socialist past and shedding everything even remotely connected to communism, perceived or real.
The man was taken off his position as a prominent artist for "being red", something we saw a lot of during the McCarthy era.
Thank you for clarifying that the creature didn't have a name and basically was technically called 'an Asset'. I was wondering after watching the movie if they gave him a name or not. Well, I actually like the name GABE. Kind of suits the creature now and sticks with me. I too also noticed the Teal and Aquamarines everywhere throughout the movie. I like your colour coded theories.
I'm pretty sure him calling the creature GABE was a bit of a dig that it looks a bit like a more Primeval Abe Sapien from Hellboy
There was a building on fire in the background when Eliza steps outside her apartment for the first time and her landlord was speaking with her.
You really did your research man! What a unique movie eh?
I think you're totally right on what you were saying but there were a few other things I thought about.
The shoes also seemed to be tied together with the idea of the fish creature being a god. Eliza's name means either 'an oath of God' or 'God is satisfaction' or 'a pledge to God'. A lot of people take off their shoes in a sign of deference when they're on holy ground. It seemed like when Eliza loses her shoes she is treating the water as 'holy ground' because Gabe is 'holy'. When she loses it it's almost like she doesn't need her shoes anymore because she's been elevated to beyond human. Her shoes seem to be linked to divine promises and Zelda complaining about hers hurting when Eliza doesn't have hers on seems to indicate the pain from her poor relationship.
It's also worth pointing out that Eliza is the greek form of Elizabeth. In the Old Testament of the Bible Elizabeth was the mother of John the Baptist who purified humanity with water. It may be a stretch but I still thought it was interesting considering the story of Delilah is actually brought up on screen in the movie.
The use of green is another interesting thing because according to a lot of Christian ideology green represents eternal life and eternal youth.
I'm also not sure if this is just coincidence but in old Toltec lore there are two seperate water deities. One is more masculine and represents earthbound water like lakes, rivers, and the like while the other is a feminine deity that represents all water that comes from the sky. I don't know if that was intentional but since he was being worshipped in the Amazon somewhere it made me wonder.
I take the ending to say Eliza was breathing underwater in the end and controlling water earlier in the movie. Just a bunch of ideas I had when I saw the movie but I love the video.
The thing with the colours is about difference in mindset. Elisa is green and blue, common colours for water. The lab is also between blue and green. That means almost everything she connects to resembles water. Red is the opposite of green and yellow is the opposite of blue, so whenever we see anything with those colours, it says they are opposite to the facility, Elisa and the asset. Strickland transitioning from yellow to this greenish blue says he's getting more and more involved with the world of the facility.
About "Gabe" being the Creature from The Black Lagoon, if you watch the film, the some of the dialogue is very similar to that in The Shape of Water. More Specifically when they talk about being able to survive different environments.
THANK YOU JUST WATCHED THIS MOVIE IT MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH THE IDEA OF LOVE ONCE AGAIN
A good analysis of what i thought of as a classic. Rich in symbolism, great directing and screenplay
Gabe gabepian works for me. Awesome vids I've been binge watching your uploads hope there will be more awesome vids again soon. Thank you
Loved your ideas!
It's sweet that you gave the fishman a name.
Holy shit, I love this! It's a great analysis, and I think I'm gonna watch the movie again just to form my own opinion and make more sense of the theories brought up
I think it was a theme in the movie but Guillermo is an famous gear enthusiast. Look it up, he LOVES gears. I don't think it is steampunk related but look at all his movies again, GEARS EVERYWHERE!!!
Amazing explanation! I'm always intrigued by the use of color in storytelling, but I don't always pick up on it (it's not always as easy as the Matrix, where green=matrix, blue=real world). I loved this movie upon first seeing it, but now I have an even greater appreciation for the art and direction. And Michael Shannon shines in every role he is in... he can be scarier and more intimidating than any monster or gigantic bodybuilder. His constant growl-talk while chewing on candy is frickin amazing, it fits the character so well! I'm always tickled that he's such a fun friendly goofball in interviews, yet once he's behind the camera, he can become your worst nightmare. That's a great actor, along with everyone else in this film.
thank you for helping me understand this movie.
nice video keep up the great work
I cannot wait to get my hands on this movie😄
Everything in your video is accurate and i fkn loved to watch it ! Thankyou so much
Elisa starts to wear more and more red clothing when she falls more and more for the amphibian creature. Red is also the color of LOVE.
"Unable to perceive the shape of you, I find you all around me". That poem at the end is about love/a beloved person not about water. But like water love has no shape (or emerge in different shapes).
I think the clock at 1:07 is rather a pressure indicator ...
But I really liked your rendition anyways :)
You´re got a real good eye for details.
Please pin this!
I love your color theory, and it makes so much sense. In the beginning she is edmaries a pair of red shoes behind glass, before walking away leaving them in the past before she sits on a bench waiting for the bus, light in green light. As the bus was. Walking to her new life, as that day the bus took her to work when she met the fish man. Also shoes: as you said the shoes were her ties to land, they were red to me saying: her life on land is in the past. When she goes to the bus it is raining, and it lights up green, to me symbolically stating her new life is ahead and it is in water. Because that is after she walked away from the shoes. Anyway, comment if this makes sense or not so much.
Incredible video! I am planning to start a channel where I analyse movies but do strickly character studies. How do you get and edit the clips of the movies into your video and what editing program do you use?
I love this vid Happy I wasn't the only one thinking this
Hmm allusions to time and how it flows like a river with a character named Zelda; is Guillermo an Ocarina of Time fan?
+Rammstein53452
Or possibly Skyward Sword considering the Tantalus (Tentalus) reference?
Definitely likely, he has increasingly been more involved in video games recently. He was at the Video Game Awards like 3 days ago, and his whole involvement n Death Stranding.
I always thought that Elisa's love for music and dance was kind of an hommage to the original story of the little mermaid. When the mermaid exchanged her voice for human legs the sea witch told her that her feet would be in constant pain but she will dance the most beautifully.
Guillermo del Toro practically confirmed Gabe is Creature from the Black Lagoon. He said it's a reimagination of that story, since when he was little he always had wished the monster stayed with Kay
I heard the director said that read symbolised love, Elisa vears more of it as the movie goes on
Don't know if it has been mentioned but I find it funny how the antagonists Insistence on washing his hands before using the bathroom and not after probably played into his fingers becoming infected and not reattaching properly.
Wow I just watched the movie 🎥🍿 n this guy really explain everything excellent video
Awesome breakdown and analysis! I'm curious how you interpreted Strickland's obsession with the story of Sampson and Delilah, and him seeing himself as the "Sampson" in this story? I thought the film turned this on its head by making 'Gabe' the Sampson. Doubly so for Strickland's final realization that "You are a god."
This comment is really neither here nor there but all i could think about while watching this was the striking similarity in color scheme to Vertigo and to Amelie. The over-the-top red/green cinematography in all 3 was a feast for the eyes (and dare I say it, almost distracting).
40??? She doesnt look that old
seriously. 34 at max.
She looks 40 to me, but in the movie she is said to be in her mid 30s...
The actress, Sally Hawkins, will be 42 in April.
33. The novel which was written by the director says so.
Uhh yes she does
Here is another theory about the shoes; Te shoes might be a symbol for her humanity. She has to keep them clean at all times and wears them everywhere. There is a scene where she sees red shoes on display and she desires them. This could mean, status quo. The wants the red shoes because they are better than what she already has, get it? Well, she wants a better life, than what she already has. Upon meeting"Gabe", she does not need the shoes anymore, she does not have to conform to the ways of the shoes, so naturally, she slips them off, she won't need them where she is going. Prior to all this, she had expressed her pain with the shoes claiming that they hurt her, think about it for a while, she is mute and her shoes hurt her. To put it into perspective is the saying"walk a mile in my shoes". In all the scenes where she is happy, the shoes seem to be a big part, either she is wearing them while dancing or simply taking them off cause she does not need them anymore...
@Patrico: I like to think so. Just as in the 1986 series 'Alf'. The creature too enjoys consuming cat. In Alf the cat however never got eaten and was named 'Lucky'. After the scene we can hear Giles saying to the cat that got away: "You're lucky".
I remember ALF too, one of my childhood fave shows since it first aired when i was 4
Extra info: mermaids were also thought to be half human half birds...
I love mythological trivia! I've heard of Sirens being half human/half bird - almost like Harpies (which I believe are more vulture-like). Some people consider Sirens and Mermaids as being different creatures altogether - - or if they are the same 'species' - with Mermaids being more 'benign' and Sirens being actively aggressive toward Humans.
If you are looking for problems,well they are plentiful in this film.That Said...This was one Sweet,Ecliptic,Odd Love Story.Really enjoyed,and would recommend to Any person looking for a different tale of Love...to sit back,Let Go...and let this Honey of a film fill your soul with its Sweetness...
Tx Army Vet🇺🇸
I find this amazing as I too wrote a story about a water creature and a human. who knows maybe there will be a part two......
Hellboy 2 had a fish-man and a elf woman
Pertaining to color del Toro has a very interesting color code he uses in most if not all his movies. I am not an expert in his code but I remember of a few examples. All his characters tend to have a color motif hell boy always has a read motif on his character and colors that complement red tend to appear with him, colors being characters. Pans labyrinth has a bright gold yellow. This showing a clear indication of a fantasy but in his eyes an also haunting danger. In the shape of water Abe is a blueish green and there is a great motif of green seen in the movie. This very much gives off a feeling of ocean and sea.
Abe’s mom and dad certainly.. Abe looks like his mom but tall like dad..
How did you get this all this info? did you really do this analysis completely by yourself? just waow, so much work for a single youtube video! can you plz do one explaining the research and creative process behind your videos? thank you very much for your work
I confess that I didn't like the movie much, but your video has given me a greater appreciation of it. Excellent work!
👍1:24 I going this weekend to see this movie. I can't wait
Wasn't Elisa in red after her intimate experience with "Gabe"? She had on red shoes and a red headband.
amazaing analysis
I think the reason Eliza’s body is more human like is because she was raised outside the water so her body learned to adapt somehow... if she were raised within the water she definitely would have had fish like features... just my 2 cents.
I love your channel
Edit: hey, I'm first
at 8:43, polishing shoes is not done "to give them that crisp tap sound". However, I think you are quite right about the shoes as a vehicle for her artistic expression and communication. Caring for the upper part of the shoe would reflect further on the pride and care she shows for the small enjoyment she gets out of her otherwise dreary life.
Nice LOZ connection ;)
Wow!!!!! How long dis it took you to edit all the video😱💪🏻
Bruh I'm so shook after watching this. Everything is tying together, especially the green. I didn't get why they put so much damn emphasis on green/teal.
Nice rewiew
I think she's some kind of amphibious creature too. If she were human, then the healing of her scars would've made them disappear. Instead, the healing turns them into gills, possibly gills that she was born with that were surgically closed at a young age. Also her name is Spanish, which is widely spoken in South America where the creature comes from (the Amazon stretches outside of Brazil into many Spanish-speaking countries). These are just my crazy thoughts, but I think they're fun(:
Moonlight Serenade is playing in the background
I love the colour palette of Guillermo del Toro's films both is and Hellboy , I kinda saw this as a reverse little mermaid kind of story, tho both of them have no voice so to speak,but use their hands to communicate with each other and Zelda which I really liked, Eliza, Zelda and Gabe are all unique characters and ahead of time time. Like they both know sign language so they can speak with Eliza and even the creature learns to speak with her this way, but everyone else she needs Zelda there to interpret what she is saying because she isn't seen as important enough to learn to communicate with her because she can't talk back . I have watched this a few times now and like it more each time I watch it.she is never afraid of the creature just curious from the start. Still sad del Toro never made the final Hellboy film to make it a trilogy, but I really liked this the visuals and colours where used so well. He also really has a thing for aquatic humanoids. I'd of loved to have seen an Ab Sepian origin film.
My theory/ thoughts is that Eliza is some sort of creature too. She was found ordained by the river, and has some connection to water. The Amphibian Man shows that he can heal as opposed to create. He heals Giles’ hair loss. So with Eliza’s scars, what if they were gills that were sewn up when she was adopted into the human world, and the Amphibian Man healed them back to what they were before.
They weren't scars. They were assumed to be scars. She was found by the river. Its now assumed she had gills all along. You didn't catch that?
The Asset also gives Elisa gills at the end of the movie.
It’s interesting on how the color is referring to time.
I thought film was just a bit greenish because around that time movies looked like that
Or at least new movies filmed are always looking a bit greenish when the timeframe is from the past
(I don’t know if it was the (‘50/) ‘60 or the ‘70 or maybe the ‘80)
Im subscribing because Zelda breathe of wild is life
Maybe she was a mermaid
Hahha , love this channel 😂
Not a bad film. Cool twist at the end.
cool you can find thing that people can't see in movies and in shows

Thinking about doing it for Don't Hug Me I'm Scared when that comes back.
It seems like a Giles' cats were named afters ancient gods. Also, doesn't "Gabe" remind you of Kyogre (looks, light pattern, ancient god thing) and the rain scenes of when Kyogre was revived in in the original Pokemon Sapphire?
I think she’s obsessed with her feet because her “people” don’t normally have feet. Because she’s a mermaid. She was raised on land and became human after doctors sewed her gills shut when she was found as a baby. When fishman brings her into the water at the end, he’s simply healing her gills, as he healed baldie and healed his gunshot wound. I think she controlled water because she was a mermaid already, not anything “Gabe” did. He didn’t turn her scars into gills, he healed them.
I would like to see some videos about a cure for wellness and The Craft.
