    Si una cosa de las cuales me enorgullezco es de que los mexicanos nos vallamos dando a conocer en el mundo maravilloso de Hollywood, ya que ahí se encuentra uno de mis idolos encuanto al cine al cual puedo comparar con usted pues tienen una imaginasion sorprendente a la cual hay que admirar y aprender de ella ya que somos muchos a los que nos apasiona el 7° arte y buscamos en quienes apoyarnos,,, espero y que nos sigas sorprendiendo con sus peliculas como la del laberointo del fauno...

    Me gusta las peliculas que realizas con todo ese decorado en las escenas le da una escencia diferente a todas las peliculas y los personajes que creas son maravillosos.

    One of the best directors around. del Toro is a genius at intertwining the sentimentally beautiful with the fantastical and macabre. Even his most commercial films have something that other similar films don't, and his most personal pieces are genius.
