How do you know the faun isn’t Pan, anyway?

Anyway, the film was excellent. Although you didn’t quite stress how gory it was enough. I almost had to look away in places. Truly horrific stuff.

Well, I suppose he might be called Pan, but he wasn’t watching over any cattle, and we didn’t see any other Greek gods wandering around. Del Toro refers to it as just an inaccurate translation.

I suppose I could have stressed the violence more, but one doesn’t like to put people off… The first bottle-bashing incident was probably the worst — a lot of the later stuff was implied rather than shown.

Thanks for the link to the interviews. Baquero is very articulate for a little girl. Unless she’s old and just does’t look it.
