It wasn't as disturbing as i've thought.ok, it was just a little gory.
It was on OKTO on sunday, WS told me about it and i actually recorded it down on dvd. He said it was thought-provoking and disturbing as well. So, i thought i should watch it alone at my own pace and pause the show anytime i wanted.
But, it turn out that i was fast-forwarding the commercials, simply because the story was too enticing. As the story goes on, an immense sadness slowly overcame me. To be specific, it was the part when what Ofelia believed was revealed to be all her imagination; when the Captain did not see the faun.
I was all along hoping that the story doesn't destroy the fairytale Ofelia imagined. I almost believed the imagined world co-existed with the real world. The reality was simply too cruel for her, and for anyone in that specific space-time.
The smile Ofelia had before she died was complicated. Should i be happy for her that, what she had always believed was never just fairytales which Mercedes and her mother did not believe as they grow up?
