[BadLuck765]

The whole thing was all in her head. There's no magic, no supernatural, just a girl who lost herself in a sad, sad life. It drove her to madness, and then to her own death. She believed in the lies in her own head until the very end.

A very sad, but very true analogy for the way we all live our lives, no?

[CarlaFox1997]

Those who seem mad are often the sanest of us all not boar down by the shallow nature or greed of human kind.

[MissKeiraCullen]

Needs to be longer, much longer.

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?

[xSpiderFromMarsx]

...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.

[xSpiderFromMarsx]

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)...

[BadLuck765]

@Hackneyedd 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.

[Hackneyedd]

@BadLuck765

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.

[Neithie]

@BadLuck765 Maybe, maybe not. Who can say what reality is real? Were we her madness, and there her truth?

[ahmedkuzaie]

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

@SimulacraMan Indeed, I agree, if anything your senses can fool you more than anything. 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

[SimulacraMan]

@uneedrandination It is a swell thing that seeing is not all-being.
