meaning of the first scene

Rating: 7/10 (29 October 2012)

the first scene left strong impression to me.
the movie starts from the image of Ophelia laying on the ground and blood turning to her nose.
This image must have important meaning, I thought.
so I did a research about it.
in the audio commentary of DVD, the director says like this.
"through the process of writing, the first part was the most difficult.
I kept thinking and then i came up with the image blood turning to nose.
and I sort of understand that this is how a girl gives birth to herself in the way she wanted to be." so that's that.
This is a dark fantasy movie, but taking it into consideration that most of the movie was a girl's imagination, affected by serious situation she is surrounded, it can be said that it is a realistic and sad movie.
And off course it is still a great movie, i think.
