Jan 25, 2012 - It is a swell thing that seeing is not all-being.

Weird how the sixth sense is knowing, which is something that is absolute. although the bridge to the 6th sense, the five senses is highly fragile, so impressionable. Sight for example. We are not seeing even a slither of the color spectrum, Our brain is literally pushing that aside due to the fact that we can't handle that. In dreams we see without actual sight, hear without actual sound. some don't get it

Feb 2, 2012 - one of the most beautiful music pieces of modern times; and the movie is amazing as well... a fantasy of its on caliber

Neithie Says:

Feb 5, 2012 - Maybe, maybe not. Who can say what reality is real? Were we her madness, and there her truth?

Hackneyedd Says:

Feb 7, 2012 - Well, no. Del Toro, the writer and director, has not said that. The fantasy continues beyond her death, which likely indicates that it was not imagined by her.

BadLuck765 Says:

Feb 7, 2012 - I'm satisfied in saying this "fantasy continuing beyond her death" was just a delirium induced by the near-death just prior to her actual death.While you're right, that isn't necessarily the case, your argument against it isn't very strong.

Feb 16, 2012 - I'd love to think that it was actually all in her head because it gives the whole story a deeper, sadder and more tragic meaning- But the fact is Guillermo Del Toro did say himself in the director's commentary that it was his intention that the fantasy parts were real, he went on to point out the specific scenes that proved it; when she sets down the chalk on the table and the captain picks it up (she wouldn't have had any other way of getting chalk but from the faun)...

xSpiderFromMarsx Says:

Feb 16, 2012 - ...her mother's health change when she puts the mandragora under the bed, and of course the end when she returns to her kingdom. We can get all philosophical here and argue about, but if the guy that came up with the story said it was true, I think I'm gonna go with that x) Either way it's a beautiful film and soundtrack.

TheVildee Says:

Feb 17, 2012 - I've always thought it was real. Her mother got better when she put the root in the milk and from where would she have gotten the chalk?

Feb 19, 2012 - Needs to be longer, much longer.

MASTERMIKEEE Says:

Mar 5, 2012 - In my humble opinion, it's a direct analogy to Christianity. Ofelia is the Christ-figure, we sinners are the baby she died to save.

BadLuck765 Says:

Mar 9, 2012 - I agree it's a direct analogy to Christianity; it was all in her head, and she died for nothing.

michaelesp1980 Says:

Mar 15, 2012 - The guy who made the movie explicitly denied it was "all in her head" and gave a couple examples of things in the story that wouldn't make sense if it was just a delusion

BadLuck765 Says:

Mar 16, 2012 - Got a link? I've always wanted to read that in context. A few people have said it, but I've never actually seen where he said it. I also suspect that, even if he did say that, it was a cynical marketing move as opposed to that being the original intent of the movie. Nobody has ever gone broke underestimating the taste of the American public.

nerdlass Says:

Mar 28, 2012 - I haven't found such an article. This should highlight things for you both: GdT: Oh yeah—I think so. If you ask me, I think it's a really hopeful ending. But what I find with the ending is that it's incredibly reflective of who watches it. Because people come to me incredibly happy or incredibly angry about saying, "But you said everything was in her head!" or "You said everything was real!" grouchoreviews (dot) com/ interviews/197 I think he's left it ambiguous on purpose.

Mar 30, 2012 - Just feels great to listen to this..... :)

justinslaughter7 Says:

Apr 2, 2012 - I believe that's it's in her head. Instead of reading interviews and arguing about what GDT said let's look at the film itself. Her father has died and she has little of her own. Her fantasy provides her with a father and a kingdom. It's said that her soul has occupied more than one body, therefore it makes no sense for her biological mother and kingdom mother to be the same person...

justinslaughter7 Says:

Apr 2, 2012 - That's all I'm going to write because you guys should be smart enough to find more clues for yourselves. How could she have gotten the chalk? Chalk is very common and is not provided exclusively by fauns. I have used chalk before and it did not come from a faun so far as i know.

justinslaughter7 Says:

Apr 2, 2012 - Your opinion is not only humble but ignorant as well. Self sacrifice is not exclusively Christian. Just because one story slightly resembles another does not mean that they are related. I'm sure that a hindu would relate the story to hinduism and a buddhist to buddhism.

MASTERMIKEEE Says:

Apr 2, 2012 - Of course, this is a matter of interpretation to the observer. I happen to agree with Hackneyedd

MASTERMIKEEE Says:

Apr 2, 2012 - Except the self-sacrifice is not our own; it's the Hero's (God's) sacrifice...we are not the hero figure in Christianity. That is the distinguishing factor between Christianity and all other religions, self-sacrificing or otherwise. In no other religion does the God figure sacrifice himself for the fallen. In all other religions, the end goal is to 'attain' salvation through good works - to attain salvation through one's self, not through God. Therefore, no other religion can claim this story.

May 6, 2012 - I think her imaginations are soppouse to reflect religion.. thinking there is a higher meanings for your actions and you choice's which is later rewarded when you die. I'm an atheist, so I guess I'm the captain that kills her in this situation... though after watching this movie I wish I was a believer... life seems less pointless. I envy you who believe.

May 11, 2012 - thats beautiful, the end where she died and was suddenly by her mom and her father....waaawwwnn ,
