"Form of water" is an American fantasy drama from Director Guillermo del Toro.
The main source of inspiration for the Director and scriptwriter was the movie "Creature from the Black Lagoon", released in 1954. Del Toro watched it as a child and was fascinated by habrachelovek, despite his neprityazatelen. It seemed to him an unsolved romantic line between the creature and the stolen woman, so he decided to make a film on this subject. Initially the Director planned to remake a film in 1954, but because of the objections of the leadership of the Studio he had to remake the story in a different way.
Despite the different plot, the film is quite a lot of references to the film in 1954. For example, the place where caught an unusual creature that is in the same area, where the expedition in "Creature from the Black lagoon". In appearance the sub-Mariner is also possible to guess some common features with habrachelovek.
The movie about the creature from the Black lagoon is not as popular as in America, as well as all the classic series of horror films made by Universal studios. So habrachelovek often compared with the character in the film "the amphibian Man" (1961) , filmed on the novel by Alexander Belyaev.
