‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ Review
Starring: Maribel Verdu, Ivana Baquero, Sergi Lopez II, Ariadna Gil, and Alex Angulo.
Synopsis: Set in1940s Spain against the postwar repression of Franco’s Spain, a fairy tale that centers on Ofelia, a lonely and dreamy child who lives with her mother and adoptive father, a military officer tasked with ‘ridding the area’ of rebels. In her loneliness, Ofelia creates a world filled with fantastical creatures and secret destinies. With Fascism at its height, Ofelia must come to terms with her world through a fable of her own creation.
Review: ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ was suprisingly a wonderful movie that both critics and audiences enjoy. It is an unusual movie that is not typical of the usual hollywood movies that are always being shown today.
It is an intricate movie that delves into the deep, dark world of imagination and deals with pain, heartache, and sadness of a young girl living in terrible times. This movie will take hold of your attention with the awe-inspiring effects, but if you watch closely you will notice that there is a deeper meaning to everything that you are seeing.
It is not unusual for these types of movies to hold deeper meanings, meanings that the creator of this movie wants you to find out for yourself. I recommend this movie and challenge you to really watch this movie and find out for yourself what the hidden meaning is.
