-Common theme (also with Pan's Labyrinth): highly imaginative children as main characters/heroes, staunchly 'adult' characters with no sense of inner child as the antagonists
-Devil's Backbone: initially dislike the bully Jaime: acts older, only child who smokes, exerts authority. Begins to come likable after crush on woman and (pipe-)dreams of becoming a comic artist (ie imaginative or childish behavior). Adults with no imagination (Jacinto and his friends) are cruel, hate-able characters; Jacinto is destroyed by a ghost ('a tragedy condemned to repeat itself time and again')
