EXTRA CREDIT Hellboy

Seeing Hellboy was interesting,  Sharon's lecture at the beginning was probably the most interesting part however.  I had never had the desire to see this film before and sort of counted it as a typical hollywood film.  What do I think of it now?  Probably a lot the same honestly.  I think the picaresque hero is interesting but Sharon talked about how he bridges the gap of human beings; while being partially good and partially evil.  I do see this but I don't understand the importance of the statement.  One thing that stuck with me is Sharon said that the scene with the umbrellas in the rain is when she knew Del Toro was a genius.  I thought this was a cool shot but I didn't necessarily get why she said that.  I don't wish to contest it just understand it.  So trying to figure that out has stuck with me.
