How do you escape when your fantasies prove as dangerous as your reality?

It's such a beautiful movie and your interpretation is lovely. I loved it, despite the ending, as I really dislike stories that end in ways that suggest the fantasy elements were all a dream, and this story, while somewhat ambiguous on that point, seemed to be leaning in that direction. But, your simple comment makes me rethink the story and what it was saying. Thank you.

I struggled a lot with how to convey that ambiguity in the ending (because I do think del Toro was leaning ever so slightly towards the 'all in her head' reading), and though I wanted to end with Ofelia in "this world", as the end result of all that surrounded her, I couldn't resist leaving her with that smallest of smiles.

Thanks for watching, and for your feedback. :)

You're welcome. It was my pleasure. :)

I've never seen the movie, but wanted to say that the editing is very pretty. Nice job!

I highly recommend the film if you're ever in search of something to watch.

Thanks for the feedback. :)

Beautiful! Love the song choice--I downloaded this immediately based on that, because I agree that tonally it's very 'Pan's Labyrinth'. It was mesmerising--thank you.
