Pornographic -what's he on about?
I don't think he meant it literally
ie: pornography doesn't necessarily solely refer to sexuality.
foo

Indeed it is, and the boat doesn't come to recuse her at the end of this one that's for sure.
Yeah, t'gf and I were having a discussion about that.
I'd completely forgotten the whole fairytale ending. And thought she'd just died in a pool of her own blood, bleak and hopeless.
As it was, seemed a bit more ambivalent. T'gf loved it, I'm sticking to the belief that it was all in her head. Maybe

But by god, it's a good film!!!!!
Bizarrely, so did we. Great film, looked stunning/beautiful/horrifying all the way through.

Er? I thought it was fairly clear all the fairy tale stuff was in her head and she was dead.
Yeah, no, not entirely really.
Yeah, she's blates dead in this world. Ennit.
But there's the stuff about the portal which could, you know, be a bit of 'The Road'-esque cop-outery.
The only bit that makes it transparently seem as if it's in her head is when the Captain sees her talking to the faun, and the faun isn't there. No?

Yipchaa!
Got this for Christmas, haven't got round to rewatching yet as I want to give it the attention it deserves. Sadly that suggests it will remain unwatched for a while

You are really not very good on picking up on ambiguous endings, are you.
What? I wanted an ambiguous ending for COM you dingus. I like them, all those strange Miike Takashi endings (in the older films) got me all tingly.
In Pans I thought it was fairly clear even before the ending that the fairy tale world was in her head. Yes of course I see that the film leaves this (and has to) in a fairly ambiguous state but that doesn't mean I can't have an opinion on it.
Del-Torro said he considered the film an ink blot test, some see hope and others see bleak stark reality.

I wouldn't be too sure who the "dingus" is. Funnily enough, this is what Alfonso Cuaron said about the ending of Children of Men:
We wanted the end to be a glimpse of a possibility of hope, for the audience to invest their own sense of hope into that ending. So if you're a hopeful person you'll see a lot of hope, and if you're a bleak person you'll see a complete hopelessness at the end.
In both films the lead dies at the end. Both have ambiguous endings with a glimmer of hope that the world might be a slightly better place as a result of the heroes/heroines self sacrifice (for an infant in both cases), but for you one film has a happy ending and another one a bleak one.
Your arrogance and poor manners on here are becoming tiresome btw. I have a theory about people who feel they have to resort to personal insults in a debate...
