I just watched this movie and I have no idea how it evaded my eyes for so long... but it is pretty damn awesome! Agree? Disagree?
Its about a the post 1944 civil war in spain and a little girls wierd fantasy world which it is not clear if it is real or not. I love del torro's art in all the movies he has been in and good news is that he is directing the upcomeing hobbit movies. Thumbs way up for this one.
BT was fairly short. It's an art film, completely in Spanish. Basically, a girl's father dies, so her mother remarries. Her step father is a military officer, in charge of a county in Spain, tasked with crushing the Rebel forces in the system...er...surrounding forests. Throughout the course of the movie, the girl comes across various mythical creatures, including the eponymous Pan, a satyr who is the guardian of a labyrinth. The way the story is set up, up to and including the INCREDIBLY AWESOME AND SAD ending, it's never quite clear if it's completely real, or if it's the imagination of a horribly repressed girl. Incredibly moving story, beautiful scenery, and amazing creatures. And 1n5an1ty, it's part of a pic combo of a girl committing suicide.
Fenix, what's with your sudden fascination for sadness and suicide? Anything we should worry about? :/ I still have to watch it. So many movies, so little possibilities to download for me. Lol. I heard the costumes were quite good. It had to do something with the man who also did the costumes for Hellboy, and those were amazing.
