Now I'm confused. I thought the whole movie was a fantasy type movie. At least every trailer that I've seen hints at this. What is the movie actually about? If it's not a fantasy, what is it? I hate it when they mislead you into thinking it's one thing and it turns about to be another.

Not that I don't like subtitles..
I find that I'm only annoyed during the first few minutes of the movie and then I forget I'm reading subtitles.

at least you dont have to read all the subtitles which always seems to take away from the movie
Yeah, those other countries shouldn't even bother making movies.

I have to say I'd rather have subtitles than an English dub, which mutilates the performances. It's also fun hearing the other languages and guessing which word means what.

Well...If I had to classify it in one word, I'd say "fantasy", but it isn't like any other fantasy I've seen. Most of the time is spent in a real historical setting in Franco-era Spain.
It's a great movie, but don't expect it to be anything like a typical "fantasy" film.

I agree. Even though I can't understand the actual words, the feelings of the actor are conveyed. And, like Peter said, I forget I'm reading after a couple of minutes and the subtitles are only an annoyance on a technical level--like if the subtitles are in white and the actors are wearing white t-shirts.

Great film! I was surprised by some of the graphic violence as I was anticipating a more fantasy type film. Personally it was my fav film of last year. There's no way a film like this could have been made in North America. I quite liked his film The Devil's Backbone as well.
