This one is even more apt for this thread:

There was a live action version of Coraline?

In Spanish. During the Spanish Civil War. And her name isn’t Coraline.

I was never interested in seeing that film, and now that you have described it to me…

It is a fabulous film.

Del Toro’s best, probably.

That’s cool; I’m still good, as I’ve never been much of a fan anyway.

Going to and fro in the earth, and walking up and down in it.

The movie is pretty amazing, but it’s definitely a dark fairy tale of sorts. I would recommend it, but i would warn that it’s a bit of a depressing movie. If you don’t have any interest in seeing it that’s fine :slight_smile:

I don’t ā€˜do’ depressing movies; that’s what reality is for.

I normally don’t either. Which is why i specifically made sure to mention that it’s depressing because being blindsided by the movie’s themes when you’re not expecting it may really turn someone off.

I had someone do this when they convinced me to watch Grave of the Fireflies. I’d never heard of it and had no idea what i was getting into. Saddest movie ever made.

Similar themes to Pan’s Labyrinth, too. Good companion piece. I do prefer his Spanish language films to the Hollywood ones, I have to say.

Is that the one where the two child protagonists die?

If so, that’s another hard pass.

As for Del Toro, his work just doesn’t move me; I guess it says something when the only movies of his that I liked were Blade 2 and Pacific Rim…

I think you’re underselling the amount of grief in the film.
