The Devils Backbone

This movie is directed by Guillermo del Toro. I believe that this film was a very good one, one of the best ones that we have watched so far. You can tell the difference between the quality of the equipment used in the past from that of the equipment used in the present.
The lighting throughout the movie was not very bright, and that went well. Most of the movie took place in the dark, because they showed more of the night than the day. The director knew what he was doing with that.
The sound was good. Every whisper was heard but not to the point where it seemed like the actors was yelling. I like the effect that they added to Santi’s voice to make it seem like he was a ghost.
The costumes looked the time period, but I got confused. When the boy first came to the orphanage he was wearing some school uniform. But throughout the rest of the movie you never see it again. I guess that was to make him look equal to the rest of the boys because the clothes made him look like he was a rich preppy boy. But when he put on the orphanage clothes he looked poor like everyone else.
I don't believe there were any sets. I think that they built that building to go along with the movie. They built it so that it looked realistic and there would be enough space for the camera’s and other equipment to get in.
I marvel at santi’s special effect. There is a bloodstain over his head constantly throughout the movie. When he moves too fast the bloodstain stays in the air, and he develops a new one.
