The film of the Mexican director Guillermo del Toro "Form of Water", which became the best film of the year and received the "Oscar", is not recognized as plagiarism.

Let us note that earlier it was reported that the son of playwright Paul Zindel accused Del Toro of plagiarizing Zindel's play "Let me hear your whisper", which was created in 1969.

However, according to the publication Variety, US federal judge Percy Anderson dismissed the claim against the authors of a fantastic film.

Anderson ruled that the two works are significantly different, and that the similarities are too general to protect copyrights.

"Although the play and the film have a general storyline of an employee in a scientific institution that has decided to release a creature that fell prey to scientific experiments, this concept is too general to protect," Anderson said..

Recall tape "Form of Water" has become the record holder of the current "Oscar" in the number of nominations.
