The eternal frustration of not being able to communicate exactly what's inside us to someone else, whether we're mute or not. God this movie is beautiful. It's impossible to say what love is, but we know it's real.
i agree. this film is so exquisite, in every way. Who doesn't want pure love like that, eh? I have to confess, I do have a bit of a thing for Amphibian man!
I'm kinda embarrassed for the creature dancing, I font know, well I do love to watch Predators dancing in the extras on Predator 2 DVD....I wish this version of me and a Captured Predator, that's why I love this film so much, I see my version in my imagination when I watch this movie❤
I was a really shy kid everyone thought I was Dutch or deaf, I was so shy I was too scared to use my voice around others and very shy to talk to anyone, thry even got mecseeing a speech therapist but I had no problem speaking at all, I wss just too shy. That wsscwasted on me, I'm a very good speller one of the best in class, it's just so easy fir me but dome words are really tricky specially if they don't sound like it looks in words. I still get caught by those words lol
It’s easy to laugh at this scene, but you have to watch the full movie to understand the context. She saw film, television and musicals as a fantasy and an escape. In her fantasy, she can sing and express her feelings of love to the creature.
@@gerardosalazar161 many people just saw this clip without seeing the whole movie and thought this scene was random and out of place. But it makes sense when you watch the movie. I always have to tell people that they have to watch the movie to understand the context.
She knows her love has to leave and she wishes she could say how she feels, but she can only imagine it. That's so sad and lonely. I never saw it as silly for this reason.
For me, the absolutely most joyous part of this movie is the moment I quit seeing an odd looking frumpy lady and a scary monster, and realized I was looking at two of the most beautiful creatures to ever swim this Earth. It's magical how the shape of water changes when the eyes you view it with are now deep in the center of your heart. 💚 OneLove Y'all 🧡
First time I watched this movie that scene took me so off guard. I was like "Wtf?? She magically gains the ability to speak??" and then I realized it was a dream sequence. So ridiculous and beautiful at the same time
Guillermo said at the show of Jimmy Kimmel that this scene had the potential to be the most sumblime and the most ridiculous at the same time, and it's true. Some people don't get it, some people do. I believe it triumphs in that, for the scene expresses Elisa's innability to express her most pure emotions to the one she need to hear it the most, so, whether you cried or laughed, the message got across anyway. Guillermo, you are such a lovely man.
I think about this scene often. Sometimes, as a grown man, i wish to tell people this. But its the words i can't get out. I'm a night person, and my emotions spike during the night. Only my cat was around. And I danced, and sang to him, about how he'll never know.
Why is that hard to believe? It's sad AF. She knows her love has to leave and she wishes she could say how she feels, but she can only imagine it. That's so sad and lonely.
Reading the comments: yeah out of context im sure it's easy to misinterpret this scene and find it nonsensical but within the movie it's absolutely perfect, this song is stuck in my head weeks after seeing this film. "If there's some other way, to tell you I love you, I swear, I don't know how..."
Many people aren’t able to understand the movie. Elisa wasn’t an human, she never was, it’s explicit when the fish man cuts her scar. This movie is a piece of art, it can bring fairy tales into our real world. I love it!
I love this movie mainly because I love romance movies and shows and this is one of the most beautiful stories I've ever seen in my entire life this reminded me of West Side Story Romeo and Juliet Bueaty and the Best
@@OriRori It's more like a spinoff of H.P. Lovecraft's "The Shadow Over Innsmouth". The Asset can be interpreted to be a member of the 'Deep Ones' (fish people) while Elisa is probably a Deep One/human inbreed child that looks more human sans the gills and speech impediment. In time, living underwater with the Asset she'll probably gain a more and more fishlike appearance like the Asset.
People say they don’t get it I get they don’t but in the same time tho the ones who did understand what’s happening here do know that she’s not able to speak her feelings but when looking at this scene we could see how much she wants to express this feeling to the creature she loves like music and dancing which is shown here
that indescribable feeling, of joy and misery when something/someone is right in front of you....but u know time is fleeting..i kind of cried because of this FACT CHECK lol😂
This made me laugh at first lol hehe funny fish man do a dance. It's also the most beautiful scene in the movie and I love it so much, especially the transition back to sign language at the end. I wish I'd read the book first
I met a man that makes me feel this way. He likes me so much, but I don't think he loves me. At least, he doesn't seem to. But I cannot help that my heart was left with him, from the moment we met and spent time talking together for the very first time. I don't know what I can do... I suppose all I can do is wait on him to see if he will pursue me, or not. I have tried.
I met a man that made me feel this way too. We dated for a very short period and he dumped me without telling me. I found out through social media. I loved him dearly but the love wasn’t reciprocated.
does anyone know the song that's playing in the background at the intro scene before she starts singing? i've picked up a good chunk of the clearer lyrics but for some reason it keeps taking me to "you'll never know" by several artists, none of which sound at all like the song here. tried looking up the soundtrack but it's not listed there either :/
@@markiahnadiaries5051 Thank you!! searching the lyrics came up with "hello frisco" but they were all frank sinatra, I thought i'd never this version xD
“ The creature “ who was trademarked to be cruel and inhumane listens and dances to musical 🎵 while the humans do not appreciate any single thing..... not even his wife and kids. smh
I was always really far away from even the highest people. It seemed disrespectful at first, and then I think I think they realized where the hell I was coming from and why. Then they understood the assignment.
Same here, dude. I wish we all had the capacity for telepathy and communicated with each other that way. We all would know each other's struggles and world would be a better place that way.
The day will be here faster than you know. I think and hope all the time that we can evolve and not need words anymore. Just be with those we love vibing so high that we'll all feel what it's like to be the others, they'll know us . Finally to be understood 🥺
I saw it 5 times in the 2 1/2 weeks it was at my theatre, pre-ordered the blu-ray, downloaded the movie when it was available so I could watch it before my blu-ray showed up. Does that count?
@@stingerjohnny9951 good for you and many others who enjoyed this movie; more power to them. And while I find this scene strangely charming, I still think this movie, overall, was an embarrassing win as a “Best Picture” film.
Its hard for someone to appreciate something if its not something they relate with. This movie's central theme was about loneliness and the desire to find someone who appreciates us for who we are. Maybe you got lucky in love or its easy for you to find it. Its not the same for many out there. Its fantasy yes, but its a fantasy that touched our hearts, a fantasy we could escape into momentarily.
@@jsteffey88 Good thing I don't give a damn about the Oscars lol After giving Best Picture to fucking "Green Book" over "The Favourite" and other much better 2018 films, they lost me. I also enjoy Shape of Water much better than that most Oscar winners that tend to be "flavor of the week" before people kinda stop talking about it and move on to the next hot shit. At least TSOW actually stuck with me and it reminded me of bizzaro French films like "Delicatessen" which I love. Of course, if your complains are "the romance is just friggin weird and I can't get into it" or "I stopped caring about the Asset the moment it ate the cat", those are perfectly valid arguments, it's not a film for everyone at all.
@@Ghostrider-ul7xn It is true, for those who have really experienced loneliness this movie hits hard, the soundtrack the way the characters develop with each other and the beautiful ridiculousness of falling in love
The eternal frustration of not being able to communicate exactly what's inside us to someone else, whether we're mute or not. God this movie is beautiful. It's impossible to say what love is, but we know it's real.

Omg once I get home though I guess I make up for not talking in school or woth few friends I had then, few but best friends I still have today❤
It’s easy to laugh at this scene, but you have to watch the full movie to understand the context. She saw film, television and musicals as a fantasy and an escape. In her fantasy, she can sing and express her feelings of love to the creature.
So, what you basically mean is that she loves to imagine of her singing???
Sorry, I haven’t watched the movie, but I will if there’s an opportunity that lets me...
Why would anyone find this scene laughable when it shows a deep love that goes beyond mere words?

Totally agree 💯 that's how it makes me feel I'm conflicted watching this scene but I love it so much, I'd love to dance this with a Predator ❤
I do exactly both! Im cringing and firvthe creature at first and im lsughing, then i get into the vibe snd then im off cryin lol. Damn you Guillermo❤
This is my favorite scene of the entire movie, I almost cried at the cinema
I do cry everytime I see it
Almost? I’m crying now!
Oh I DID cry at the cinema
I love the transition of singing to saying with signs the last part of the song , tearssss😭💚
I think about this scene often. Sometimes, as a grown man, i wish to tell people this. But its the words i can't get out. I'm a night person, and my emotions spike during the night. Only my cat was around. And I danced, and sang to him, about how he'll never know.
This is one of the most beautiful movies I've ever watched, it made me cry so hard the first time I watched it
He knows how to make beautiful horror films or just beautiful fantasy films in general.
Such a shame we will never see what Guillermo would've done with The Hobbit. It still hurts.
Tiene razón, no se si esto me conmueve o me da miedo, me da cosas inexplicables xd
I can't believe I cried during this scene
So did I :(
Why is that hard to believe? It's sad AF. She knows her love has to leave and she wishes she could say how she feels, but she can only imagine it. That's so sad and lonely.
0:56 - 1:59
this is what being in love with a fictional character is like, every day
this scene makes me happycry

the epitome of romance 💙💙
I love this scene make me feel WTF and HAPPY in same time LoL
This was the most beautiful scene
I'm high functioning autistic and go mute sometimes. Sometimes it's anxiety, sometimes I just shut down. I love music so this scene is beautiful.
I have a big imagination just like Elisa❤️I love this movie and I own the book as well. It’s a mix of mythology, romance, and action.
This scene is both hilarious and beautiful at the same time. A masterpiece of a movie

1:08 I kinda wish that they had the gill man wear a suit in this scene.
Lmaooooo i remember in the theatres and this was such a twist for me. I was dying when they started singing and dancing 😂😂 good movie
this scene made me Cry so hardni couldnt breathe
A cena mais emocionante de todas ❤
The Shape of Water is my comfort film, is fantastic!
This made me laugh at first lol hehe funny fish man do a dance. It's also the most beautiful scene in the movie and I love it so much, especially the transition back to sign language at the end. I wish I'd read the book first
Didn't the book came after the movie?
@@Isabelle-hv6ny after actually looking it up, you're right LOL
thank u for posting this
Imagine walking in on this scene with no context.
To me, this scene is silly but sweet at the same time
I feel this so hard in my soul
Doug freaking Jones man.
This fucking film. God i love you. 👏
watch it more often!
My favorite scene from the whole movie
wonderful
The first time I saw this scene I was like what, what's happening?
This scene even IN context is funny
This scene kind of reminded me of the dance scene in "Beauty and the Beast".
This movie came out the same year as Disney's "live action" remake. And yet, this is more beautiful.

Where can I find this version of the song where they’re dancing? Or was that specifically made for that scene?
The song is "You'll Never Know" by Alice Faye, available on RUclips and Spotify
does anyone know the song that's playing in the background at the intro scene before she starts singing? i've picked up a good chunk of the clearer lyrics but for some reason it keeps taking me to "you'll never know" by several artists, none of which sound at all like the song here. tried looking up the soundtrack but it's not listed there either :/
You’ll never know by Vera Lynn. But in this scene, it was the version of Alice Faye. The musical show called Hello, Frisco, Hello.
@@markiahnadiaries5051 Thank you!! searching the lyrics came up with "hello frisco" but they were all frank sinatra, I thought i'd never this version xD
The song is you never know it old song my mum used to sing it all time always fetches tears to my eyes couldn't believe the song in this film
i have never seen a scene representing me this well
but is it she who sings? or is it someone else?
It's probably the actress, as it doesn't sound like a professional singer.
“ The creature “ who was trademarked to be cruel and inhumane listens and dances to musical 🎵 while the humans do not appreciate any single thing..... not even his wife and kids. smh
Alice Faye
seen the movie loved the movie but this scene allways made me laugh
💖
i find this movie to be very esthetic
I was always really far away from even the highest people. It seemed disrespectful at first, and then I think I think they realized where the hell I was coming from and why. Then they understood the assignment.
Yo a las 12 de la noche 😔
🎬🎦
i wish i don't have to say something to make people understand me
That’s cute

Can you believe this stuff? 😉
This scene had me like 🤨…
⛑️🇨🇦🛞
Tell me if you are a male & you love this movie .....
I saw it 5 times in the 2 1/2 weeks it was at my theatre, pre-ordered the blu-ray, downloaded the movie when it was available so I could watch it before my blu-ray showed up. Does that count?
This ruins me every time I watch it
The moment in which a theater full of people who paid to see a woman fuck a fish went "What the fuck am I watching"
I'm glad I didn't make it to this part and turned the movie off before it or else I really would off for sure.
I hate The Shape of Water, but for some reason I can't help but enjoy watching this scene.
