Film Meme: directors (7/7)
It’s important for little girls to know not every story has to be a love story and for boys to know that soldiers aren’t the only ones to triumph in war. - Guillermo del Toro
#the neverending struggle to put into words#how fucking important del toro’s work is to me#from the early stuff [chronos & mimic] the grotesque hybrid-horror full of pestilence and insects and invaded bodies#to the dark anarchic subversions of superhero films starring monsters [hellboy & blade ii]#to bitter gothic satire [el espinazo del diablo]#to the terrible & beautiful shadow-fairytales [hellboy ii & pan’s labyrinth]#[& that strange action blockbuster which was wonderful but lacking in exquisite grotesquerie]#he’s just#one of the greatest living directors#with the most awful and enchanting and macabre imagination#with the utmost respect for darkness of every kind#but not at the expense of heart and love and survival and kindness (via elucipher)

What if I’m really nobody?
To build a city at the bottom of the sea! Insanity. But where else could we be free from the clutching hand of the Parasites? Where else could we build an economy that they would not try to control, a society that they would not try to destroy? It was not impossible to build Rapture at the bottom of the sea.
It was impossible to build it anywhere else.
