Pan's Labyrinth

[Alex]

Spoiler:

That is certainly a reading of it, but I don't think it was Guillermo del Toro's intent to settle the question. He has been talking a lot lately about film not needing to lay everything out for you, that it is good to be presented with a story and then you go away thinking it out on your own what happened, what it means.

But I have only been catching side conversations since I was avoiding specific spoilers. So if he was trying to answer the question he didn't go quite far enough and I'd prefer ambiguity because it makes it more interesting.

Ambiguity still exists, I just feel like del Toro was "taking sides." And of course, if anybody gets to take a side, it is him, but I don't want him to.
