strong contender for my favorite of his movies

kinda fitting that i ended up rewatching this one and pan’s labyrinth close to each other as there’s certain parallels i might have forgotten about otherwise.

yeah this movie was really fun.

i forgot that they overtly, textually fucked

she and the fish person fucked :)

lol they accidentally clipped Strickland's new Cadillac

oh no i forgot about some stuff in this movie

love her

i liked the romance montage.

she is not very flappable

now i just gotta rewatch The Shape of Water and i can issue my official ranking of every feature film he's directed by how much I liked them (and possibly also a separate ranking for how good they were)

i think this was probably my least favorite of his Spanish language movies (not a negative remark! Cronos and The Devil's Backbone were both very good)

there is something to be said about Guillermo del Toro heroines (Ofelia and Mercedes here, Conchita and Carmen in The Devil's Backbone, maybe even Princess Nuala in Hellboy II, Aurora in Cronos, perhaps the human lead in The Shape of Water) but idk what that is

good movie. fucking fascists.
