Pan's Labyrinth

A strange movie that linked the world of fantasy to politics, suitable music, a mixture of dreams and reality. 7,8/10

actually really liked this one! i did a presentation on it for a class & it was really interesting to think about on a deeper level. very cool fantasy world, super weird, & keeps you on your toes.

I wish this film could have a happier ending. Filled with magical opportunities and wonder for its characters endings. The imaginative creativity that Guillermo del Toro has to be able to combine such a heartbreaking destructive story with such Magically delightful Visuals is something I applaud him for. For a first time watch it hurts to take this all in a way I haven’t viewed many of his stories before but his implementation of Mexican folktales into the American Cinema is so wondrous and glorious in ways that I love to witness. While I must say that this film should not be viewed from the fantasies of a child, it should be given the opportunity to allow the heart a to explore the innocence that we all search for in horrific circumstances.

hehe my favorite my beloved hehe

I watched it in mostly Spanish, with either no or Spanish subtitles. I do not know a lot of Spanish. It was fun to learn more. Good visuals, a story that is similar to that one match girl. Sad.

Guillermo Del Toro’s dark fantasy and practical effects masterpiece. The fantastical elements weave seamlessly into the tense plot and produce not only an all-time cinema villain, but a poignant payoff. If you are struggling to break into foreign language films, start here.
