Pan's Labyrinth

We saw it yesterday and loved it. I was worried at first that the theater audience would ruin the experience - there were scores of murmurs as the film started and people realized that it was in Spanish with subtitles, but the theater quickly grew silent which is probably testament to the power of the story in this film.

Though I probably agree more with EH1812's interpretation, I tend to prefer ambiguity in my films. I think it important to remember when looking at the whole fantasy/reality question, is that it all plays out within the fiction of a film, and in this film there are two different worlds and the inhabitants of each of those worlds view what happens in the end differently.
