    What a wonderful person. My father died about a month ago to Leukemia; I couldn't bring myself to play God of War (story of a son trying to save his father, essentially) because I felt like it would be too much. Watched Pinocchio instead and was absolutely destroyed. Don't think I've ever cried so hard. With that said it made dealing with his death so much easier- I felt everything he says here about death being inevitable and "beautiful" and accepting that life continues and how we live on in story. Perhaps one of the most genuine creators out there.

    Love, love , love this interview. I don't know if it's because I'm Mexican but, I really understand the way he describes his way of thinking, that I agree with him 100%. The older we get, life and death's perceptions change and at the same time, remained the same. The fear about death (thank God) diminishes and/or disappears.
    I'll be watching Cronos and his version of the new Pinocchio movie .
    It's kind of weird that just before I started watching this video, I noticed a red bag, next to my bed, given to me by "Specialty Auto Works" store (now closed) named Chronos. Hummm.
    Great video. Congratulations to the both of you.

    This movie (and del Toro) is amazing, so touching. Pinocchio reminds me so much of my son...he has a free, curious spirit and could easily be characterized as naughty or disobedient. But he is one of the most loving, empathetic children I've ever met and his inclination to question things or stray off course doesn't seem to come from a place of rebelling for no reason, but out of sheer curiosity and a lust for life. I cried throughout the movie because it felt so close to my heart 🤍🤍

    GDT is eloquent as always here and his ideas on his Pinocchio are really quite strong. I wish they were as strongly conveyed in the film as it is here through Del Toro talking about it. I just think as time has gone one, he's lost a bit of his edge and is a bit clumsier when it comes to making his films. I find myself liking sequences and ideas in his later work more than the actual show or film itself. I think all his films post-Pan's Labyrinth suffer from a host of issues from dialogue, pacing, narrative, and tone that don't seem to be improving or correcting itself. Despite his eye for design being as strong as ever, his current work certainly lack a finesse and polish I think his earlier stuff had (certainly his first three films).
