Fascism, and Biblical Inspiration in Pan's Labyrinth

I"m still trying to decide how I feel about this film.  I thought that Del Toro did an amazing job at portraying the results of fascism; especially with the new generation of Francoist rising in Spain (yes, this is real. Read this: Franco's Legacy Rattles Spain ).  I thinks that it is so important that we are reminded of our past constantly.  There was a scene in the film where the townspeople come in to receive food, and the soldiers handing out the food continued to repeat these words to the people, "This is your daily bread provided to you by Franco." They repeated this sentence at least five times, and it truly terrified me. I think this look at fascism scared me more than the Pale man with the hands.

However, as far as the actual fairy tale goes, I am not sure if I'm a fan. There was something about that side of the story that didn't really stick with me. Sometimes I'm not sure if writers have an intentional purpose behind everything that they add.  I say this because while watching Pan's Labyrinth I picked up on a lot of things that brought me back to the Bible; I guess I'm not sure if these things were meant to be biblical references or not. 

 For example, in the beginning of the movie when Ofelia was  in her first life and  lived in this perfect world. This reminds me of the garden of Eden because Ofelia, like Adam and Eve, could do anything except one thing (in Ofelia's case, she was not to leave the underworld); Ofelia disobeyed and became mortal, just like Adam and Eve. Plus there is also the element of being drawn to the forbidden fruit; the forbidden fruit in Ofelia's case is the outside world.  There is also Ofelia sacrificing willingly sacrificing herself to save another --- Jesus giving his life for others.  Ofelia gains eternal life in paradise, and will sit in a throne next to her father --- Jesus sitting at the righthand of the Father reigning.

What do you think? Do these connections make sense? Am I looking too much into this?
