Pan's Labyrinth (2006)

Pan's Labyrinth
New Line Two-Disc Platinum Series





Trailer



Believe it or not, but I'm just now getting around to watching Pan's Labyrinth for the first time. Knowing what Guillermo del Toro brings to the table, I knew that this would be rich in fantasy and fairy tales with characters never before seen. What I didn't expect was that this story is tied directly into Spanish Civil War. I think the movie is great, but I was expecting a lot more Fantasy elements to it. I would say bout 75% of the film is grounded in "reality" and the rest with fantasy. This isn't a bad thing. I actually liked that the plot juxtaposes these two worlds to great effect. Definitely worth a Rent.

Del Toro consistently entertains with his visions.

I was taken back at how brutal some scenes got. My lord.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting the amount of violence in a movie that would be marketed to young kids. I get and understand now why a lot of parents have condemned this movie., which I had heard about over the years.
