Can someone explain (or at least your point of view)

Spoiler:

IF all was part of her imagination, how can she foretold the blood coming from her mom?.

And also, the mandrake plant, I know it could have been any root she found there, but...why did her mother got better? Coincidence? It was not the medicine that the doctor gave her, since the doctor said that it was a miracle when he was talking to the Captain. And the Captain saw the fricking plant too =/

Even though there are contradictions about being real or not, i personally think it was real. Those "To see them, you have to believe Peter Pan!!!" kinda real.

Since the beggining of the movie it was kinda funny how "Alice in Wonderland" always came to my mind. I was really impressed when Ofelia shows up with the dress that her mom gave her which looks pretty much the same Alice had.

Spoiler:

I believe the only part of the mystical underworld aspect of the movie that was a part of her imagination was how she took a seat on the throne by the king's side, and more importantly, the whole thing that tells you something's terribly wrong with this happy ending, her mother's side. Her human mother's side. To me, that showed her dying dreams. The underworld scorned her for not spilling her brother's blood, just like she was told would happen.

It's nothing definitive, but to me, it was a tragic ending.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, that was surprising. I went to kind of a late showing and I figured, subbed movie, late showing, there's not going to be anyone there. There was a line and the place ended up packed! Film must be getting great word of mouth because I haven't seen much as far as ads for it go.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ahaha, the captain, he wasn't such a bad guy!

I woulda shot the bitch too.
