Date: 2007-05-03 11:53 pm (UTC)I like your connecting the faun to the captain in your description.
My understanding about the English name is that the director chose to have a consistent translation for other languages, and while not all languages have a word for "faun," they apparently all have "Pan" as a legal word. I think that's lame, 'cause English has "faun," but that's me. But yeah, Pan != a faun, even though they look similar, and so the English title sets up all sorts of incorrect expectations.
One of my favorite parts of the film was its exploration of the philosophy of fascism and the resistance thereto. I loved the doctor character. (And seeing it on a date with an ER doctor was an interesting experience, lemme tell ya....)
