To sum up how I feel about this movie,....
Select to view spoiler:
it left me feeling like I did after seeing Jacobs Ladder . Like I had just wasted that part of my life, and I'll never get it back. Granted, some of the movie was fascinating and nicely done. But the overall impression I got was that Ofelia knew nothing good in the world which was full of evil and darkness. She was, understandably, distraught over having lost her dad, over having to go live with the evil captain that her mom was forced to marry, and then losing her mom. She'd become utterly alone in a savage , war torn world. I kinda thought movies were where folks go to ESCAPE from such turmoils, and not to have them amplified on a giant screen.
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

My point? Mypoint could be that only after defeating one's enemies and vanquishing all threats to ones soverignty can a country begin to speak peace. It would seem that peace can only be forged on a foundation of violence. Which is the country with the current record for preaching peace? Take Americas separation from England. If America practised in theory what it preaches today in those times, It would still be an English settlement. America would not exist without the hardships it has endured as a nation and I wonder if things might have been different with a big brother approach. I only need one word to describe this. Indians. What if someone stepped in and said 'You can't do that'.... Bye Bye West Coast. Many Countries have now the issues America had 150 years ago. My Point? I think I'm lost again..... America Fuck Yeah...... Stay Shiny!
It's All Gravy Baby!
